Invoice Requirements

All invoices must reference a Morningstar/PitchBook contact name for payment to be processed and should be formatted as text-based PDFs. Each PDF must contain only one invoice, but multiple invoices can be attached to the same email in separate PDFs. In addition, if we have sent you a PO, then the appropriate PO# must be referenced on the invoice. Invoices must be submitted to the appropriate email address provided by your Morningstar/PitchBook contact or as listed on the PO issued (please see below for appropriate Invoice and Accounts Payable contacts). Applicable to the United States, suppliers must submit up-to-date, signed, W9 or W8 tax forms with the company name that matches the company name on the invoices. Suppliers are responsible for updating all tax and banking forms, preferably via the Coupa Supplier Portal.

Register as a Supplier

Morningstar strongly encourages all current suppliers to register with the Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP). Registering on the CSP gives you access to invoice payment status, view purchase orders, set-up delivery methods, send invoices(only if you have been issued a PO) and update required Supplier Information Management forms. All suppliers must complete our Supplier Information Management forms to become a supplier with Morningstar. If you have questions about the CSP registration process or completing our Supplier Information Management Forms, please contact our Supplier Management team at MorningstarSupplierMgmt@morningstar.com. Please also refer to the quick reference guide below for step-by-step instructions.
