FAQs

The following are a few Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Tradex Portal and issues faced by its users.

Why is my invoice rejected?

If your online invoice is rejected, a red box will appear with an error message. Please read the message thoroughly, as it will explain exactly why your invoice is failing. If you still believe that your invoice should not be failing, save the invoice and then contact your customer. When you save the invoice, the customer support team can view the invoices to determine problems. Saving the invoice also allows you to quickly resubmit the invoice once the problems are resolved.

How do I find out when my invoice will be paid?

Currently, Tradex Portal does not hold any payment information. Please contact your customer for any payment information.

How do I know if my customer has received my invoice?

Once you log in to Tradex Portal, click Invoices from the main menu on the left, and then click View Invoices Sent. In the View invoices sent - list page, you can search for invoices using the filters. Invoices with a status of Not D/L (Not Downloaded) have been successfully added on to Tradex Portal, but they have not yet been sent to your customer. Invoices with a status of Downloaded have been successfully sent to your customer.

How can I view the invoices or credits I have sent?

To view the sent invoices or credits sent, click Invoices from the left menu, and then select View Invoices Sent.
