Q: Where can I find my vendor number?
|
A: Your vendor number is located on the bottom of your purchase order and begins with a #2. If you didn't receive a purchase order from your buyer, send an e-mail to apvendorinquiry@valvoline.com and include a recent invoice number so we find the correct vendor number.

Q: How do I search for an invoice once I'm logged in?
|
A: The easiest way to use the portal to search is to only enter in one field, for example, the invoice number. Once you enter that, click the word "enter" on the left hand side to execute the search. If you leave everything blank and click "enter", it will populate any and all invoices we have received from you.

|
A: Yes, enter each invoice number separated by a comma in the invoice field.

Q: What if my invoice does not appear on the website?

Q: What does the status "Pending" mean?
