Configure Invoice Submission Channels

Establish invoice intake channels that suppliers can use to submit invoices.

Oracle recommends using a corporate mailbox rather than exposing the Oracle-generated Payables Agent endpoint directly to suppliers.

Example submission flow:

  • Supplier sends invoice to invoices@samplecompany.com.
  • Corporate mailbox forwards the email automatically.
  • Payables Agent endpoint receives and processes the invoice.

Using corporate aliases provides simplified supplier communication, better monitoring, improved traceability, spam protection, and easier Business Unit segmentation.

To configure invoice submission channels:

  1. Identify the Oracle-generated Payables Agent endpoint.
  2. Create one or more corporate invoice mailboxes or aliases.
  3. Configure forwarding from each corporate mailbox or alias to the Payables Agent endpoint.
  4. Confirm that forwarding rules preserve invoice attachments.
  5. Communicate the approved invoice submission address to suppliers and internal submitters.
  6. Submit test invoices through the configured mailbox or alias.

Validate invoice submission by confirming that emails reach the Payables Agent endpoint, attachments are processed, and invoice documents appear in Invoice Document Streams.
