Frequently Asked Questions

    I have just registered for Tungsten Network; can I send e-invoices right away?

    In order to ensure your invoices pass our validation checks, we recommend that you wait 2-5 working days (from point of registration) before you send your first e-invoice through Tungsten Network. If you face issues or need help, please contact Tungsten Support.

    How does this benefit me and my company?

    As part of Haleon’s ongoing commitment to improve efficiency and supplier experience, the implementation of PO Services will mean that suppliers can expect fewer delays or queries thanks to Tungsten’s improved validations.

    Does my invoice data need to match the PO?

    Haleon encourages all suppliers to invoice using exact details (product description/code, unit of measure, unit price) as stated on the Haleon PO. If any of these fields differ on the invoice, there is a risk of delay or rejection.

    I have received a failure message through Tungsten that I don’t understand

    The error message displayed on the email alert and/or Tungsten portal should explain the issue and what you need to do to rectify the situation (if necessary). Please ensure you invoice the same Haleon company entity that you receive your PO from. If you require additional assistance, please contact Tungsten Support.
