General Procurement Conditions

Basically Essent does business only with suppliers on a contractual base. In this way, together with the supplier Essent is able to make agreements on industry-specific issues, such as Sustainability, HSE and other conditions. If this is impossible or impractical (e.g. for relatively small purchases) General Terms and conditions of Purchase are used.

Frequently asked questions

Is your question not here? Please send an email to ebscj.ap.nl@eon.com.
The named office address on your invoice is not the registered office address of your client. You can find the correct registered office address on the purchase order which you have received from your buyer. Furthermore you find the correct address also in the mail informing you of returning your invoice.
The registered office address is the address where your client is officially established. The address where the goods or services were delivered is not necessarily the same. The correct billing address, registered office address and the delivery address is noted on the purchase order you have received.
The ascription you noted on the invoice has to be similar to the ascription noted on the purchase order. You can find the correct ascription on the purchase order. Furthermore the correct ascription can be found in the mail informing you of returning your invoice.
If there are multiple ascriptions mentioned on the invoice, Essent can not process the invoice. The ascription of the billing address, as the ascription of the registered office address should both be the same. You can find the correct ascription on the purchase order. Furthermore the correct ascription can be found in the mail informing you of returning your invoice.

You do not have to note a German VAT number, as the Dutch registered office address is noted on the invoice.
Essent does not decide which VAT rate to use. In case you have questions about the VAT rate, we advise you to contact the tax authorities.
A VAT number should contain 14 characters. Invoices with wrong VAT numbers can not be processed.

If you state VAT on the invoice, you should also note a correct VAT number on the invoice. Invoices without VAT numbers can not be processed. If your company is not VAT liable, please clearly state this on your invoice.

If your company is not VAT liable, please clearly state this on your invoice.

There can be several reasons why the PO number on the invoice is wrong. To obtain the correct PO number you will need to contact the person who ordered the goods or services with you:

  • The noted PO number does not exist
  • The noted PO number misses a character
  • The noted PO number has too many characters
  • The amount agreed upon in the order is already fully charged
  • The PO number belongs to another supplier
To obtain the correct PO number you will need to contact the person who ordered the goods or services with you. Essent can only pay your invoice if the correct PO number is noted.
No, Essent asks you not send a credit invoice. The original debit invoice is returned and not included in our administration. Therefore a credit invoice can not be processed in our administration.
The term of payment can be found on the purchase order which you received from the buyer.
