Electronic Invoicing

Electronic invoicing, or eInvoicing, is the delivery of invoices over the internet in electronic format (i.e., CXML format) to Cornell’s Invoice Processing department. The benefits to both the supplier and Cornell include eliminating mountains of paper (e.g., paper, toner, mailing savings), avoiding mistakes from re-entering data, not losing invoices, simplifying workflow (i.e., faster processing).

Electronic Bids

Cornell Procurement Services is using eBid Systems to manage electronic bids. Procurement agents will continue to identify and qualify prospective bidders. Bidders will receive an emailed invitation to register to participate in Cornell University bids. Once a bidder has successfully registered through eBid, invitations will be sent based on the areas of interests (e.g., goods and services) that the vendor has self-identified.

An initial registration help guide (PDF, 620 KB) is available. If you need further assistance, please refer to the help guides in eBid or email Procurement.
