Suppliers who use eInvoicing
All suppliers using Xero, MYOB and Reckon can use eInvoicing with a few simple mouse clicks. You can identify which of your suppliers are using this software to generate and send PDF invoices to your accounts payable inbox, and let them know you’re ready to receive eInvoices from them instead of PDF invoices.
Here are some easy ways to help you identify which of your suppliers are using Xero, MYOB and Reckon.
Identify invoices sent from accounting software’s generic email address
Invoices being sent from the cloud-based version of small business accounting software are sent from the following generic email addresses:
- AccountRight@apps.myob.com or similar email address for MYOB
- messaging-service@post.xero.com or similar for Xero
- accountshosted@reckon.com from Reckon.
Look for the common email templates
MYOB and Xero have email templates that the supplier can populate.
In the example below, note the generic email address at the top and ‘Powered by MYOB’ at the bottom.
Next is an example of a standard invoice email from a Xero user. Note the generic email address at the top.
Check the format of the invoice number
Xero’s invoice numbers start with the prefix INV- and then a series of numbers.
MYOB uses an 8-digit number. For example 0000001, 0000002, 00000003 and so on.
