Welcome To Our Supplier Information Site

Welcome to our Supplier Information Site!

Our procure to pay team manages Purchasing and Accounts Payable activities for Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. We take pride in the strong, collaborative relationships we have built with our suppliers. It is important that our interactions are productive and efficient. We are continuously looking for solutions that provide us with better ways to communicate with you.

We use a portal, called the Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP), to manage transactions with our suppliers. The portal improves the accuracy and speed of the invoicing/payment process and gives our suppliers instant access to payment information. We highly recommend that our suppliers use the portal.

Here are some of the benefits:

  • Maintain supplier information
  • View purchase orders
  • Create and send invoices
  • View payment status

The Coupa Portal provides several benefits for our suppliers:

Signing up for the Portal

If you are a new supplier, you should have already received an email invite to register for the Portal. To request access to the Portal, click here.

The Portal is the most efficient way to get your invoice paid. However, you can also submit your invoices by other electronic methods:

  • Actionable Email: You can act directly from your email inbox and create invoices directly from the purchase order
  • cXML Transmission: You can send invoice information in a cXML format and post the file directly to our procurement system

As an exception if none of the automated channels are available invoices can be sent to invoices@ionis.com. Please note, this mailbox is for invoice submission only and not monitored. For payment inquiries, please email ap@ionis.com.

Invoice Submission Requirements

  • Invoices must be attached to your submission as a single pdf readable document
  • The invoice must include a valid purchase order number; without a valid purchase order number, the invoice will not be paid; it will be incumbent upon the supplier to obtain a valid purchase order number
  • An invoice should reference one purchase order only
  • The invoice currency must be clearly indicated on the invoice

Supplier Payment Options

Suppliers may select from these methods:

  • ACH is our standard payment method. Banking information can be added via the Coupa Supplier Portal.
  • Virtual Card – Suppliers may request to be paid via a virtual credit card.
