Suppliers classified as "Wash" suppliers (wash-related services) will be able to submit wash invoices to Trimac.


The following steps must be followed to submit invoices electronically:


  • Create new invoice
  • Add invoice number
  • Change invoice date (defaulted to the current date)
  • Add line item
  • Add tax
  • Add the coding (TMW PO or unit number)
  • Add attachment 
  • Submit



Important:


  • Suppliers are not able to select the invoice approvers. The invoice approvers are automatically defaulted based on the TMW PO # used 


  • Suppliers are not required to code any invoices.  The invoices for "wash suppliers" should be automatically coded based on Trimac's internal business rules. The only thing the supplier needs to enter is the TMW PO number /unit number along with the invoice related data


  • Invoices will be rejected if a TMW PO was provided ( 8 digit number that starts with 7+Letter) i.e. 7#######A, but it is not included on the coding of the invoice.  The TMW PO number is required for the proper routing of the invoices (if a TMW number was not provided, please submit the invoice with the unit)
