How do I add an invoice on the Socienta vendor portal?

Q: Where can I add my invoice?

A: Once a tender has been awarded to you, open it from the My Tenders section on your Home page and click View Details. On the tender details page, locate the Invoices Information table on the right-hand side. Each scheduled invoice row has a Details button — click it to open the Invoice Details dialog where invoice documents are added.

Q: What are the conditions that must be met before I can upload my actual invoice?

A: You can only upload the actual invoice after your pre-invoicing documents have been reviewed and approved by the client. Specifically:

1. The tender status must be "Awarded" to your account.

2. The invoice row's scheduled date must be reached (earlier rows typically show status "Not posted" until the billing period opens).

3. You must first upload the required Pre-Invoicing Documents:

   - Work Completion Report (Required)

   - PPM Service Report (Required)

   - Other Attachments (Optional)

4. The client must review and approve the Work Completion Report before the Invoice upload field becomes active.

Q: What are the steps to add an invoice?

A:

1. From Home → My Tenders, click View Details on the awarded tender.

2. In the Invoices Information table, click Details next to the invoice you wish to submit.

3. In the Invoice Details dialog, under Pre Invoicing Documents, click Upload next to Work Completion Report and select your file. Repeat for PPM Service Report if applicable, and same for Other Attachments if applicable.

4. Click Submit to send the pre-invoicing documents to the client for review.

5. Wait for the client to review the Work Completion Report. You will be notified (system notification + email) once action is taken.

6. After approval, reopen the invoice via Details. Under Invoice Documents, click Upload next to Invoice and attach your actual invoice file, fill in the details.

7. Click Submit to send the invoice for review.

Q: What do the invoice statuses mean?

A:

- Not posted — The invoice row has not yet been submitted (billing period may not be open, or pre-invoicing documents are still pending).

- Pending — The invoice has been submitted and is awaiting client review.

- Once the client reviews and acts, you can track the payment process in the Invoices Information table and download the transaction by clicking the Print button.

Q: What happens after I submit my invoice?

A: The client will review and take action, and you will receive notifications (both in-system and by email). When the payment is processed, the status updates in the Invoices Information table and the scope of work is marked as done. You can click Print to download the transaction record.
