Dispute resolution process
We request for the latest supplier statement from the supplier and reconcile it with our accounting system. Once resolved, we pay the invoice(s). Depending on the nature of the dispute and our relationship with the supplier, we may pay the disputed invoice before the dispute is resolved if it is past due in order to maintain our relationship. We send remittance advices to suppliers after each payment run showing invoices settled and amounts. When requested, we provide suppliers with evidence of payments made, e.g. bank statements showing outgoing funds. Disputes and complaints are normally resolved within 30 days.
