EDI and XML are just data formats as far as Tungsten Network is concerned; therefore you can use this preferred format to deliver the data to Tungsten Network if you choose to use the Integrated Solution. Applied Materials will not take any electronic data directly from suppliers as we take a single consolidated invoice file from Tungsten Network, which will contain invoices from all of our suppliers.

Web form suppliers can submit PTN in the delivery note field on the web form. Integrated suppliers should discuss PTN with the Tungsten Network sales representative during technical enrolment.

No, the Tungsten Network ensures that Applied Materials receives the data you send in a format that will upload to our accounting software and, where applicable, match to a goods receipt record.
