UC Berkeley, as part of a UC system-wide contract, has partnered with the Transcepta Electronic Procure-to-Pay Network to provide our suppliers with enhanced invoice submission capability. Transcepta has been working with many of our suppliers to convert invoices into an electronic format that can be sent directly to Bear Buy. Suppliers are offered multiple channels to submit their invoices to Transcepta, including e-mail, web upload and EDI. Transcepta then sends the invoice data to Bear Buy, where regular processing is completed. Benefits of directing invoices through a single standard electronic process include:
- Increased visibility to invoice images and payment status in BearBuy
- Reduced potential for lost invoices
- Reduced time spent and delays in multiple hand-offs of paper invoices
- Improved opportunity to take advantage of available early payment discounts
UC Berkeley is now live on the Transcepta Electronic Procure-to-Pay Network for supplier electronic invoice transmission, but we continue to enroll new suppliers as they are identified.
Invoices that are submitted via Transcepta show the Voucher Source as Invoice Import. A digital image of these invoices can be viewed by clicking the Invoice link in the Summary tab header.
