Dispute resolution process

Thomas Sanderson Limited is committed to dealing fairly with all of its supply chain members. Transparency and swift resolution of disputed items are key principles in this process. Disputed items are identified by the Accounts Payable or Procurement department. An enquiry is then raised with the supplier stating the disputed items. If the supplier is at fault, credit is provided and the remainder of the invoice is cleared for payment. If Thomas Sanderson Limited is at fault the error is cleared internally and the invoice is released for payment.
