WORK AREAS

EDI AND ELECTRONIC INVOICING

Automating exchanges speeds up orders, delivery notes and invoices, reducing manual tasks, errors and operating costs.

Electronic exchange provides speed and traceability, making it easier to control and manage incidents.

Integration and EDI standards improve data availability and collaboration, and help anticipate electronic invoicing regulations.

This service, available through the B2B Portal, offers benefits such as:

  • Time savings in administrative processes.
  • Greater frequency in the issuing of payment orders.
  • Simpler and easier invoice management.
  • Greater control over invoice status.
  • The ability to bring forward the collection of each payment order under competitive discount conditions and with management flexibility.
  • Decide when to advance each payment order.
  • Automate acceptance or schedule it for a specific date.
  • Have the collection amount available in your bank account on the next business day after acceptance.

OWN BRAND

El Corte Inglés Own Brand is developed together with suppliers who share our standards of quality, innovation and customer commitment. Through a stable and transparent collaboration model, and a demanding approval process, we ensure compliance with quality, safety, traceability, sustainability and regulatory compliance criteria throughout the supply chain. This approach makes it possible to generate shared value, drive efficiency and strengthen a brand recognised for its quality, reliability and commitment to customers and society.

INVOICE CONSULTATION

The Invoice Consultation functionality in the B2B Portal allows you to access all information related to your invoicing in a centralised way and in real time. From a single environment, you can consult invoices, charges, credit notes and payment documents, making it easier to control and monitor your operations. Main benefits:

  • Immediate access to information, without the need to submit additional requests.
  • Consultation available at any time, from anywhere with internet access.
  • Greater transparency and traceability, thanks to access to the details of each document.

In addition, the Portal enables the management of claims and incidents related to invoicing, recording and tracking each case from the platform itself, which supports more agile, structured and transparent communication between both parties.
