▪ Download a pre-defined Kofax e-Transaction Sender configuration file from

SupplierExpress.
Known Issues
SupplierExpress Buyer Configuration
SPR00079289
In SupplierExpress, you can set up only one GL suspense account per buyer.

SupplierExpress cannot open a PDF invoice that has too many pages or that contains multiple
pages with compressed images.
Workaround: Instruct Suppliers to do the following:
▪ Limit the number of pages in a PDF to 30 or less.
▪ Limit the use of graphics and dense text in a PDF as much as possible.
SPR00065334
SAP installations only. Cancelling (or reversing) a PO duplicates the invoice record in
SupplierExpress. This occurs because SAP shows a reversed invoice as 2 invoices—the
original invoice and an invoice showing a negative amount.

SupplierExpress cannot display images when running in an FDCC environment without
Adobe Acrobat Reader installed.
Workarounds:
▪ Before using SupplierExpress, have Suppliers verify that they have the Adobe Acrobat
Reader installed on their systems.
▪ If using Internet Explorer, have Suppliers enable the browser add-ons.
