Frequently Asked Questions About Eved

  • HOW CAN I EDIT AN EXISTING EVED INVOICE? Typically, a buyer (client) will create an invoice on behalf of the supplier. However, you have the ability to raise an invoice from an existing Purchase Order in Eved. In the event that you have created an invoice, the process below will walk you through how to edit an existing invoice. To edit an existing invoice: Navigate to Programs. Click on the Invoices link. Click the checkbox next to the Invoice that needs to be updated. The Edit button will be displayed. Click the Edit button located above the list of invoices. Clicking the Edit button will have one of two outcomes: You will be directed to the Edit Invoice page. Here you will be able to edit the Invoice Amount and/or the Due Date. If you want to attach a backup invoice, enter your own invoice number, and/or select a payment type, click the Plus Sign to expand the row to enter the information. Next, click the Submit button at the bottom of the page once the invoice has been edited. The second scenario you may experience is you may receive one of several different notifications depending on the invoice selected. The notification displayed below is just one example Notes: You can only edit invoices that you have created. Just as your client will only be able to edit invoices they have created. An invoice can be canceled at any time prior to the invoice due date. If the invoice has been cancelled, you will not be able to edit the invoice. If the PO has been paid in full, you will not be able to edit the invoice. You can only edit the invoice amount down to what was paid previously or up to the PO uninvoiced balance, whatever is in-between.

  • Insurance on Eved FAQs for Insurance Insurance Rules Certificates are failed and cannot be scanned into Eved when... Reasons for insufficiency FAQs for Insurance What’s the difference between a master certificate and an additional insured certificate? Acord? Zurich? What does that mean? How do I know what my client's insurance requirements are? In a few basic steps, how do I upload insurance for a client on Eved? My client information is there, why did my insurance scan fail? Do I have to do anything else once I’ve uploaded my insurance? / Why do I have to verify my certificates after they are scanned into Eved? Can I have two master insurance certificates? I’m insured with two different brokers, so I need to upload two masters. Why doesn’t Eved let me do this? Why is this a bad thing? What if I don’t have enough coverage? What is the Previous Certificates section for? One of my sections expired. Do I have to upload everything all over again? Will I be notified if I don't meet my client's requirements and I'm insufficient? Will I be reminded when my insurance is about to expire? Can I upload my master certificate and my additional insured certificate at the same time? My certificate still says it’s “pending.” What does that mean? Why can’t I see the “Additional Insured” link next to the master I uploaded? Will you let me know if I failed and why I failed? I uploaded my two required forms (master and additional insured certificates) so I’m sufficient, right? Why doesn’t my umbrella coverage cover everything? I don’t own an automobile and/or I don’t have employees that work directly for me. How do I let my client know that I don’t need this insurance coverage? Why is Eved setting all of these insurance requirements for me? Do all clients require an additional insured form? What’s the difference between a master certificate and an additional insured certificate? A master certificate is a general proof of insurance for your company. This certificate must be in either a standard Acord or Zurich form. A master certificate does not include any client-specific information, so usually the certificate holder section is blank, says “Proof of Insurance,” or includes your company name. Talk to your broker about getting this general master insurance form for Eved. An additional insured certificate is still a standard Acord or Zurich form, but this includes specific client information in the certificate holder section. In Eved, all your clients can see your master certificate, but only the specific client you associate the additional insured certificate with is able to see that additional insured certificate. This helps keep your client information private. These certificates must exactly mirror the master certificate’s coverage amounts and dates. The two forms should be the same except for the entity it is related to. You can only upload one additional insured certificate per master certificate per client. If you upload a second additional insured certificate for the same client underneath the same master certificate, the first additional insured certificate you uploaded will be “archived” into the Previous Certificates list. Acord? Zurich? What does that mean? These are industry standard forms that your broker should be able to provide you with. Only certificates in these formats can be uploaded into Eved. How do I know my client’s insurance requirements? These are available in Eved. Login and navigate to Sourcing > My Clients > Click View next to the client you want to see insurance requirements for to access the Client Details page > Scroll to the bottom of the page and under Actions click the Insurance Coverage button. This pop up window will show you the minimum requirements for your client and whether or not you are currently meeting them. You also have the option to email this information to anyone you’d like. In a few basic steps, how do I upload insurance for a client on Eved? 1) Upload your general proof of insurance, called a master certificate in Eved. 2) After you upload the master, we’ll scan it into our system and you’ll receive an email notification letting you know it’s ready for you to verify it. 3) Once you verify the master in Eved, you’ll be able to attach additional insured certificates to this master and associate them with specific clients. These will need to be uploaded one at a time for each client. 4) We’ll scan the additional insured certificates into Eved and you’ll once again receive an email notification to verify that they have been correctly scanned. My client information is there, why did my insurance scan fail? Many of our meeting & incentive companies on Eved require that you use the exact wording of their legal name and address on the additional insured certificates. You can find this information in the My Clients section of Eved. Do I have to do anything else once I’ve uploaded my insurance? / Why do I have to verify my certificates after they are scanned into Eved? Yes. Once you’ve uploaded the insurance certificate, we’ll scan it into Eved, and then send you an email notification letting you know the certificate is ready for you to verify. The verification process exists to allow you to make sure we’ve correctly scanned in your certificate information, as the legal liability of insurance coverage you’ve uploaded and are representing as having in Eved stays with your company. Can I have two master insurance certificates? No. Eved only allows for one master insurance certificate. Talk to your broker about getting all of your coverage on one standard Acord and Zurich form. Eved does allow for multiple master certificates if they cover different liability sections i.e. you have a Zurich form for general liability and auto but you have an Acord form for your worker’s comp. You’ll then have to upload two sets of additional insured forms, though, so once again we recommend having your broker put everything on the same form. By default, your master will become the last certificate you verified in our system. I’m insured with two different brokers, so I need to upload two masters. Why doesn’t Eved let me do this? Why is this a bad thing? In the event of an incident where you would need insurance to cover damages, if you have two different policies, these two different companies and/or brokers will try to argue in court that they are not the primary source of insurance. You must always have one single primary source for insurance for each section of coverage, otherwise you may be left with the bill while your two dueling insurance companies claim they aren’t responsible to protect you. What if I don’t have enough coverage? You’ll have to discuss this with your client. They do have the ability to waive the insurance requirements for suppliers at their discretion, but you’ll need to initiate this discussion with them directly, outside of Eved. What is the Previous Certificates section for? In order to maintain historical insurance data for you and your client, we move expired certificates from the main screen into the Previous Certificates list. Also, duplicate and redundant forms will be moved there if you upload a new and more current form that covers the same insurance sections into Eved. One of my sections expired. Do I have to upload everything all over again? Yes, because your evidence of coverage has changed and you need to make these updates with all of your clients. Will I be notified if I don’t meet my client’s requirements and I’m insufficient? No, it’s up to you and your client to manage whether or not you are meeting their insurance requirements. We will only inform you if your client has made changes to their minimum requirements and you become insufficient because of these changes. Will I be reminded when my insurance is about to expire? Yes, we send reminders to you when your insurance is nearing its expiration date. If the sections of your Acord form have separate expiration dates, you will be reminded as each section expires. Can I upload my master certificate and my additional insured certificate at the same time? No, you must first upload the master certificate, wait for the Eved team to scan it into the system and then verify the master before you can view the additional insured button and upload your additional insured certificate. My certificate still says it’s “pending.” What does that mean? It’s in our queue waiting to be scanned into the system by our Eved team members. Although we try to scan certificates by the business day following their upload onto Eved, the process can take up to three business days depending on how long our queue gets. If you need assistance sooner to meet a deadline, please reach out to [email protected] and let us know of your request. Why can’t I see the “Additional Insured” link next to the master I uploaded? It’s still waiting to be scanned into the system or verified by you before you’ll be able to view the additional insured button and upload your additional insured certificate. Will you let me know if I failed and why I failed? Yes, we automatically send an email out when your certificate failed the scan into our system. This email includes a custom note describing why your certificate has failed. Contact [email protected] for follow up questions about your scan’s failure. I uploaded my two required forms (master and additional insured certificates) so I’m sufficient, right? No! Eved tracks much more than forms. Your client has set up minimum coverage requirements that you must meet as well. Plus, even if you meet those minimum requirements, it won’t show in the system until you’ve verified that we scanned your certificate correctly. Why doesn’t my umbrella coverage cover everything? In Eved, umbrella coverage only covers the gap between your existing section coverage and your client’s minimum requirements. It does not replace having general coverage for these required sections. For example, if your auto coverage is $0, the umbrella will not be pulled in to meet your client’s requirements. However, if your auto coverage is $500,000, you have a $1,000,000 umbrella, and your client’s minimum requirement is $1,000,000 in auto coverage, you’ll show as sufficient in the system because the umbrella will cover your coverage gap. I don’t own an automobile and/or I don’t have employees that work directly for me. How do I let my client know that I don’t need this insurance coverage? You can certify that you don’t require the ownership, maintenance or use of an auto and/or that you do not have any employees that work for you and therefore you are not required to carry Workers Compensation insurance in the Insurance section of Eved. Simply check the box next to the statement(s) that apply to you and click Save. Your clients will now be able to see that these sections don’t apply to you. When your clients set up their insurance requirements, they can select whether or not they will require this coverage for all suppliers or no require it for those that have checked the appropriate coverage boxes in the Insurance section of their account. Why is Eved setting all of these insurance requirements for me? Eved only requires that you use standardized forms (the Acord or Zurich). Any requirements beyond that point are set up by your clients. Consequently, if you have questions about the requirements, you should reach out to your client directly, not to Eved. Do all clients require an additional insured form? No, this is a choice that your client makes, so you’ll see some require that you upload an additional insured form, and others only require that you upload the standard master for proof of insurance. Insurance Rules IF you upload more than one master certificate for the same section, THEN your master certificate will become the last one verified in the system. IF you upload more than one Additional Insured certificate for the same client, THEN we will archive the first one you verified and keep the latest one your verified. IF all sections of your form have expired, THEN we will archive it to Previous Certificate. IF only part of your form expires, THEN it will remain a current certificate until the rest of the sections expire. IF you have umbrella coverage, THEN it will be mapped to cover gaps in your insurance coverage for certain sections, but only if that sections’ fields have a value greater than $0. Certificates are failed and cannot be scanned into Eved when... They are not in a standard Acord or Zurich form They dates listed indicate it is already expired The certificate holder section is incorrect and does not word for word matching with your client’s requirements You have uploaded an additional insured document intended only for one client as a master certificate that is seen by all your clients Reasons for insufficiency You have not uploaded any insurance on Eved You have not uploaded an additional insured form for your client You have not verified your certificate after it was scanned into Eved’s system Your existing coverage does not meet your client’s minimum requirements You have uploaded two or more master certificates covering the same sections in Eved, so not all of your coverage is mapping over to your client’s requirements One or more of your insurance coverage sections has expired

  • This feature will automatically stop POs from being sent to suppliers if their amount puts the overall program over budget. Admin users will be able to set a specific percent over budget at which POs will no longer be sent to suppliers under Admin > Purchase Order > Stop POs from Being Sent to the Supplier when Over Budget. The percent will default to 0% but can be any positive amount, including amounts over 100% (i.e. 150%, 200%, etc.) A negative amount cannot be entered into this field. The admin setting can be changed per Division as well. Initially all Division settings will default to the default %, but users can customize the % or turn off the feature per Division. If the member later edits the default %, only Divisions that have not been customized will be updated with the new default %. Once this admin setting is turned on, each time a PO is sent the site will check the amount against the current total amount of sent POs for the program and the program’s Revised Budget amount at the time of sending. If the amount of the PO to be sent puts the program over budget at or over the percent set up in admin, then the PO will not be sent to the supplier and the following will occur: The PO will move to a status of Purchase Order – Over Budget. If the PO is a Change Order received from a supplier, it will move to a status of Change Order – Over Budget. A new email will be sent to alert the Program Owner that the PO was not sent If an updated PO is being sent out, and the overall dollar amount of the PO is less than it was the last time it was sent, the PO will be sent out, and the total amount of POs sent will be reduced. If either a PO is reduced, a program budget is increased, or the admin PO Over Budget field is modified, then the system will need to check to see if there are any POs waiting to be sent out. If there are POs waiting to be sent out, the amount will then be compared to the available program budget to determine if it can be sent out. If the PO will still be over the allowed program budget, the PO will not be sent out. If there are several POs that were stopped from being sent, then next time they are looked at to determine if they can be sent, it will be in the order that the PO was completed. So the first PO completed and stopped will be looked at first. If the amount of the PO still is over budget, it will be stopped and another email will be sent out. The next stopped PO in the list will be examined until all stopped POs have been processed again.

  • Eved has added the option for users to add an ad hoc approver into the approval flow for a PO or Invoice. This is meant to simplify one off situations where non-standard users may need to approve without over complicating the standard approval flow in Eved. Permissions A new permission is now available in the Programs section of the user roles menu. Turning on the “Add Approvers to Approval Flow” will enable all users in that role see a new Approve and Add Another Approver button in their PO and Invoice Details view. Adding a New Approver To add a new approver into the flow, click the Add Another Approver button in the PO or Invoice Details view. Then enter in a single email address of the approver to be added. This new approver can be a user in Eved or a user not in Eved, and will be “next in line” to approve that PO or Invoice. After the added user approves, the PO or invoice goes back into the normal approval flow where it last left off. The user adding an approver to the flow must be the user that is next in line to approve. If you have already approved the PO or Invoice, you will need the user that has the “Approval” action in their queue to add the new approver.
