Invoicing - LATAM - Argentina

Overview

We value our partnerships with our suppliers and are committed to making it simple to do business with Cargill. We understand how important it is for our suppliers to get paid in a timely manner, so we urge you to carefully go through the instructions on how to create and submit an invoice to avoid any errors that may result in payment delays.

Still have an issue? Contact Supplier Relations

Contact Supplier Relations through Cobranzas.com portal or by telephone 08105552455 for all concerns related to 

• Issues with past due payment

• Requests for or questions about remittance notices

• General inquiries

• Update tax related information

What can I expect when I contact Supplier Relations?

• You will get an email confirming we received your inquiry with an incident number. You can expect auto response email from the Supplier Relations email box to the email that the inquiry was sent from.   The auto response will tell you what to expect and give guidance for you in managing your inquiry.  If you do not receive this response please verify you have emailed to the correct email, or check your junk email files and take corrective action for future email responses to be received.

• Cargill Supplier Relations register all inquiries in an incident management system, which assigns a ticket number to each inquiry

Once you have your ticket number, please follow these KEY tips:

• Please reply to the response from Supplier Relations with the ticket # in the subject line for any follow up communications. DO NOT change the subject line or email address. This will ensure that duplicate inquiries aren’t created for the same issue. It also will ensure that your response routes to the staff member working the ticket and helps with expediting responses.

• Do not submit invoices with your inquiry if you are ERS enabled with a Cargill location. Instead, please provide only an SAP PO#, or Supporting documents (packing slips, proof of delivery, order confirmation, or similar)

General guidelines for submitting inquiries to Supplier Relations

• Use Cobranzas.com portal. Cargill’s preferred method of communication is through the web portal.  In case you need further assistance you can contact us by calling 08105552455. 

• Ask one type of question per inquiry. For example, do not submit a past due payment inquiry with a new address notification. Similarly, be sure to send a separate inquiry for each business you support.

• Give us as much information as possible. 

• Read the responses you receive from Supplier Relations and follow directions. If information is requested from Supplier Relations, please send it back attached to the inquiry email chain per the instructions (do not submit requested information via a new email chain).

• Manage your own inquiries. Cargill employees should not be filing inquiries on your behalf.

• Avoid ccing other email addresses on your inquiries unless Supplier Relations specifically requests that you do so. Supplier Relations will be only responding to the supplier email that submitted the inquiry. 

• Please avoid CCing Supplier Relations if your query intended for Supplier Relations as it will not generate Ticket. Supplier Relations should be in “TO” Field.

• Send each inquiry once, using the same email chain for back and forth communication.  New emails create duplications that can be confusing and will create extra work for Supplier Relations and a possible delay in them responding to you.

• Please do not forward Marketing/ Promotional mails as this will generate tickets.

Guidelines when submitting past due inquiries

• Include invoice copies or related documentation (i.e. packing slip, bill of lading, or remittance notice, as applicable) so Supplier Relations can respond efficiently to the request.

• Remember that Supplier Relations only reviews past due balances. Past due is defined by the payment terms on a PO or purchase agreement unless otherwise defined by your contact at Cargill. Payment inquiries for payments that are not yet due will be rejected back to the supplier.

Guidelines for submitting inquiries about payment/credit discrepancies

If a response from Supplier Relations shows a partial payment has been made and you need clarification on the difference, first check in Cobranzas.com how the payment is conformed. If you still have doubts, contact Supplier Relations through cobranzas.com with a request for an accounting of the difference so that you can apply the payment correctly and clear the difference as required.

Guidelines for submitting inquiries relating to remittance notices or pay application

When asking for remittance notice or payment application information please supply:

• Invoice number
