How secure is sending invoices via the Web Form?
Access to the Tungsten service, including the Web Form, requires three credential authorizations. In addition, each session is protected by industry standard 128 bit SSL encryption using Class 3 Server Certificates from Verisign. Once your invoice is created it is stored in the secure archive where it is protected by the latest security measures which are tested daily.
This means only authorized users can connect to the site and that once connected, all communications are private and data is completely secure.
Is registering on the Tungsten portal equivalent to joining Tungsten?
Yes, part of the registration process is that you have to accept required standard terms and conditions given. Once you do it, the expectation from Immunocore is that you will stop submitting paper invoices (rejected if still received) and submit all invoices via Tungsten.
Do I need to enter into sign an agreement with Tungsten Network?
Yes, regardless of the solution you choose, you will be required to accept Tungsten Network’s terms and conditions.
Do I need to install any software?
The Tungsten Solutions do not require any software or hardware installations to submit invoices.

The minimum operating system requirements are: Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition, Linux or Mac OS 9.2*.
Minimum browser requirements are: Version 9 of Internet Explorer and the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.
Can I send two invoices with the same invoice number?
No, this is to prevent duplicate invoices. The system itself does not allow entering the same number twice.
Can I send an invoice with an earlier invoice date than today's date?
Yes, just enter relevant date. However, a future date is not possible.
How do I add an attachment to my invoice?
Does the "Accepted" status on the Tungsten portal mean that my invoice has been accepted for payment by Immunocore?
No, to get an accurate status of your submitted invoices you should view the Invoice Status updates on your Tungsten portal account.
When using Invoice Status with Tungsten, what type of invoice status updates will I receive on the Tungsten portal?
What if Tungsten doesn't accept my invoice number when creating an invoice?
Tungsten remembers all invoice numbers sent by you to Immunocore. This protects both you and Immunocore from sending duplicates. Therefore your invoice should always have a unique number, for example 1/2016 and 1/2017 will be accepted.
When I enter multiple PO numbers at the header level my invoices fail submission. Where should I enter this information?
Please enter only one PO in “PO field” on invoice header. Please enter other POs in the body of the invoice – each PO on each related line, e.g.:
Who is in charge of providing supplementary access of Tungsten Network login details for other users?
