Kimberly-Clark is committed to providing simple and standardized transactional processes for our suppliers around the world. We value our supplier relationships and strive to be easy to do business with in all facets.
Kimberly-Clark Procurement teams leverage global sourcing and category strategies to drive best-in-class procurement performance and deliver the competitive advantage Kimberly-Clark needs to win in the marketplace.
Our Source-to-Pay process starts with requisitioners in our plants or offices, and is facilitated by Purchase Orders being approved and delivered to our Suppliers. Once a Purchase Order has been fulfilled, Kimberly-Clark validates receipt and upon receipt of a valid invoice, initiates a timely payment.
The use of a Purchase Order (PO) is a standard Kimberly-Clark policy and required method of communicating our commitment to purchase materials and services. To help us meet our payment commitments, we provide suppliers with the following PO Requirement guidelines.
Our Source to Pay (STP) Supplier Portals enables e-document exchange of POs, Purchase Order Acknowledgement (POA), Advanced Shipping Notices (ASN) and invoices, with 24/7 visibility into your payment status through secure portal-based technology.
Our PO requirements facilitate a streamlined payment process for our suppliers:
To ensure prompt payment processing, suppliers should take care in submitting invoices via the correct method. Electronic invoicing (e-Invoicing) through EDI or the STP Portals are the methods of invoice receipt for Kimberly-Clark, unless otherwise dictated by regulatory requirements.
All invoices must include a valid Kimberly-Clark PO number, as failure to include a valid PO number on invoices will cause the invoice to be rejected (back to the supplier). Do not mail, email or fax additional copies of an invoice. Unnecessary invoice copies will delay payment.
Suppliers are required to follow our Invoice Requirements below, as well as any region specific invoice submission requirements.
How to Invoice Us
Suppliers are required to submit all invoices electronically via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or our Kimberly-Clark Source to Pay (STP) Supplier Portals. Invoices must be sent according to the instructions on a Purchase Order.
In few and pre agreed cases, invoices may be received via an alternate method. Your Kimberly-Clark Procurement resource can advise you regarding the best delivery method.
Our STP Supplier Portals enables e-document exchange of PO’s, Purchase Order Acknowledgment (POA), Advanced Shipping Notices (ASN) and invoices, with 24/7 visibility into payment status and vendor self-service through the secure portal based technologies.
Invoicing specifications for EDI follow standard formats, including EDI 810, XML and CSV.
