Compliant Invoicing
Simplified compliant e-invoicing process for suppliers based in the United States
Streamlining operations as of April 11 2022, Spotify is enabling Coupa Compliant e-invoicing for suppliers based in United States
At time of invoice creation in the Coupa Supplier Portal, Coupa will validate country-specific requirements before issuing a legal invoice in PDF format for you and Spotify. Invoices generated from your internal system will no longer be required and as such will not be accepted. The invoice generated in Coupa will serve as the legal invoice. If Spotify disputes an invoice that was created prior to 11 April, you are required to void the disputed invoice and submit a new invoice.
Benefits: Faster invoice processing and less exception handling as Coupa validates mandatory requirements at time of invoice creation; Automated invoice to purchase order matching; and Complete visibility into invoice status.

Don’t see the bank account listed/have a new bank account you intend to receive funds to? You MUST UPDATE your profile and have it approved by Spotify Vendor Master Team before submitting your invoice. Click here to see how to update your profile
Once the legal entity is created, you can select the Remit-To and Ship From Address from the dropdown and click Save.
General Information and Form Fields
