1. INVOICE PROCEDURES
In order to ensure that invoices are processed in an accurate and timely manner, suppliers should submit their invoices in the following manner.
2. INVOICE SUBMISSION METHODS
Electronics submission (option 2.1) is AltaLink’s preferred method of receiving invoices, as it is a more efficient way to process invoices and is environmentally friendly.
2.1. Email Submission (Preferred Method) Email invoices to [email protected]. Please follow these guidelines:
Do’s
Indicate supplier’s name, invoice number(s), and PO number (if provided) in the subject line
Adobe Acrobat PDF format is preferred, but Excel and Word format are acceptable

The supporting documents (back-up) must be provided in the same document as the invoice
The invoice must be the first page of the document
Don’ts Avoid hand written invoices (these cannot be read by the automated system and have to
be manually entered, therefore the process will take longer)

Do not zip files
