What is coming to Accounts Payable Processes as part of the S2P Transformation?

The Kyndryl S2P team works to build new services for Accounts Payable, delivered by Kyndryls to Kyndryls.

Our mission is to design an Accounts Payable Process that is built for the future:

  • Transparent
  • Accurate
  • Simple
  • Industry Standard

Invoice Processing Strategy

Our strategy is not only to allow, but to utilize electronic invoicing!
  • Where SAP Business Network (formerly called Ariba Network) is compliant for invoice issuance, we'd expect suppliers to use it for both their and Kyndryl's benefits. It offers immediate, automated invoice validation and processing, advanced status and remittance information. Suppliers have the opportunity to integrate their billing systems with the Network through EDI connection, cXML formats, and CSV upload. If POs were created via Contractor Portal the electronic invoice process must go via Contractor Portal as well.
 
  • Where SAP Business Network is not compliant for invoicing, but other electronic invoice formats are legally accepted, Accounts Payable is going to utilize Opentext Optical Character Recognition Software (OCR) to automate reception, validation and compliant archiving. We offer OCR PDF invoicing received through e-mail. Please make sure you send 1 invoice attached to a single mail to ensure successful reception.
 
  • For OCR PDF invoicing please find the information you require here: Download ->
 
  • Kyndryl operates in a few countries, where only paper invoices are acknowledged. For those countries, Accounts Payable offers centralized invoice reception and scanning locations in each time zones. Our operations team then funnels the scanned invoices into Opentext OCR.

  • Check out the comprehensive table below that contains all the Kyndryl Legal Entity details so that you can issue your invoices correctly and send them to the right place for scanning and processing. 

  • If you are looking for information on paper invoices, which applies only to India, download this document.

Tax types and Tax Registration ID formats

Please note that Tax Type and Tax Registration ID is verified by the Ariba tax engine for your uploaded invoice.

Tax Type must be applicable to the country and transaction type. Tax Registration ID will be accepted only if provided with defined format.
