Dear ConAgra Foods® Suppliers:
Below you will find important information regarding the SAP related supplier invoice requirements.
Please take the time to review this entire document to ensure your invoices can be processed
in a timely manner.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE INVOICE REQUIREMENTS:
•
We have “gone green.” Accounts Payable will accept your invoices via email if the requirements
are met. To begin using this automated feature, please follow these guidelines:
o Invoices are required to be emailed in a TIFF or PDF file format.
o The file name cannot contain any special characters.
i.e., \ - ( ) # $ % : ; ,
Example of file title: Inv 123456.pdf
o One TIFF or PDF file equals one invoice.
o Each invoice must be a single TIFF or PDF file if multiple invoices are sent in one
email.
o If the invoices are not sent in the correct format, you will receive the following error
message:
Your PO or Non-PO invoice submission to ConAgra Foods has failed due to improper invoice
format. Invoices must be submitted as either a TIFF or PDF. Please correct the format and
resubmit.
•
Purchase order number and/or contact name are required data elements for every invoice. Without
this information, invoices will not be processed and will be returned to the supplier.
•
Submit invoice types to the appropriate email boxes. Please note: The email address you utilize
depends on whether your company has received and included a valid SAP purchase order number
on the invoice document. Email invoices, depending on the type, to:
•
o
Purchase Order related invoices (with PO # and contact name) to:
[email protected]
o
Non-Purchase Order related invoices (with contact name) to:
[email protected]
If you are unable to meet the requirements of the email process, mail invoices directly to ConAgra
Foods Accounts Payable at the address below:
ConAgra Foods EBS AP
PO Box 642210
Omaha, NE 68164
•
Purchase Card Transactions: If you have been notified that you are a “PCard Only” supplier or
received a purchase order that states “PCard” for method of payment, DO NOT send those
associated invoices to Accounts Payable. Instead, send an email confirmation/receipt to the
cardholder. Please include as much detail of the purchase as possible to enable cardholder
reconciliation. If you do send a paper invoice for a “PCard” purchase, you should send it
directly to the cardholder’s address.

the PO)
o The material number referred to on the Purchase Order
o Invoice number
o Invoice date
o Same unit of measure, currency, and price as denoted on the PO
o Tax and freight should be listed on a separate line for each invoice.

will be returned to the supplier for resubmission with the required information.
