Suppliers’ toolkit
Philip Morris International values its relationships with suppliers, so we are constantly looking at ways to automate and streamline our financial processes. This helps ensure that expenditures are properly authorized and recorded which, as a result,
helps invoices to be processed on time.
Below are details of the supplier platforms, and the processes we use to manage our projects. You’ll also find key invoicing requirements to ensure your invoices are complete.
Supplier e-procurement platforms and applications
For key resources, such as:
| General terms of purchase | Supplier expense guidelines | PMI supplier invoicing guidelines for Coupa |

The self-service portal (SSP) is available for suppliers delivering goods or services to Philip Morris entities except: Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia.
Queries submitted outside the SSP (i.e., via email) will no longer be acknowledged or receive a response.
To add a new supplier or for any SSP-related questions, please contact the SSP Onboarding Team at PMISelfServicePortal.PMIFIN@pmi.com.
Invoicing requirements
NO PO, NO PAY
To ensure a smooth invoice process and timely payment to our suppliers, as of November 2019, PMI introduced a business policy requiring a PO number to be provided in the invoices issued to PMI.
That means every invoice must contain*:
- A valid Purchase Order (PO) number, or,
- In case you have not received a PO from PMI, you will need to:
- Confirm with the PMI requestor that such purchases are allowed exceptions. If yes, please apply point 2.
If not, please request for an official PO number from PMI to avoid further invoice rejection. - Include the name of the PMI requestor that has requested/confirmed receipt of your goods/services.
* Subject to legal/tax restrictions in particular countries.
One bank account per currency
Only one bank account per currency will be accepted for payment unless otherwise agreed for specific business requirements.
One invoice, one PO
Each invoice should only correspond to one PO. We are not able to accept invoices linked to multiple POs unless otherwise agreed for specific business requirements.
