Transacting with INPEX

Transacting with INPEX

INPEX leverages the Ariba Network to conduct Purchase-to-Pay transactions. This allows both parties to collaborate electronically across a range of documents including purchase orders, confirmations and the submission of invoices.

For more information, please refer to the INPEX Supplier information pack.

When registering with INPEX as a supplier in Ariba, it is important you read and understand the INPEX Ariba – Instructions to New Suppliers and ensure you provide your Banking Details as instructed.

Please note, INPEX is not responsible for delays caused by incorrect or incomplete data entry by suppliers. 

  • Benefits to our suppliers

    In addition to the advantages of a simplified, automated, and digitised Purchase-to-Pay process, suppliers also benefit from:

      • Having all INPEX related purchasing documents in one place.
      • Real time notifications for status changes in purchasing documents.
      • The Ariba supplier mobile app to execute tasks on-the-go.
      • Full visibility of invoice payment dates.
  • Expectations of our suppliers
      • To enable streamlined digitised collaboration INPEX encourages its suppliers to register on and transact via the Ariba Network.
      • Suppliers must submit an order confirmation for all transactions for goods.
      • INPEX has a strict NO PO, NO PAY policy. Suppliers must not commence any work on behalf of INPEX or deliver any goods until a Purchase Order has been received.
      • All invoices must be submitted electronically (preferred via the Ariba Network).
      • Suppliers must provide a supporting breakdown of all goods and services supplied when submitting an electronic invoice.
  • Ordering and Payment Methods

    INPEX’s preferred ordering method for transacting with suppliers is Purchase Order

    Purchase Order

    All requirements for goods and services will be communicated to suppliers via a purchase order, referencing a pre-negotiated agreement or standard terms and conditions of purchase. Ad-hoc requirements must be supported by a quote and deliverable-based activity must be supported by an agreed statement of work.

    INPEX may also issue a purchase order for unplanned or recurring services based on a provisional amount, however, will only pay suppliers based on the verification of actuals, once an electronic invoice has been submitted.

    INPEX also supports various supplier integration methods for ordering and invoicing and encourages the hosting of catalogues on the Ariba Network.

INPEX is committed to recognising and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples whose cultures have existed in Australia for more than 65,000 years.

In particular, we acknowledge the Larrakia people as the recognised Traditional Owners of the land and waters where Ichthys LNG onshore facilities are located, in addition to the Whadjuk Nyoongar people on whose lands our Perth office is situated. Furthermore, Broome and Djarindjin are important logistical locations for transit of our offshore workforce, and we therefore extend our acknowledgement to the Yawuru, Bardi and Jawi peoples, respectively.

INPEX acknowledges the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to play in the development of our business in Australia and pay our respects to their Elders – past and present.
