Tungsten Invoice Status Service enables buyers to keep suppliers informed about the status of their invoices at every stage of the invoice processing cycle. ISS enables suppliers to predict future payments and significantly reduce time spent calling the buyer accounts payable department for updates on the status of their invoice.

Suppliers registered on the Tungsten Network can view the status of their invoices 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by logging into the Tungsten Network portal.

If you are an existing supplier you can access Tungsten Invoice Status Service by logging on to the Tungsten Network portal. You will still need to perform the Challenge Process to view all of your DS Services of America invoice statuses.

   • Challenge Process Step 1: On an invoice you have submitted after February 27, 2017 provide:
2. 1. Invoice #
   2. Invoice Date (Date on the invoice)

   2. Matching Invoice Amount (amount in the currency of invoice)

If you do not have a Tungsten Network account please complete the simple registration process to take advantage of this service.

• The Tungsten Network registration process is quick and easy and enables any supplier to create an account if they are doing business with a buyer on the network.
