Dispute resolution process
Discrepancies relating to shortages, damage or price are communicated to the supplier at the earliest opportunity following receipt of invoice by the supply chain team. Finance issue a goods received not invoiced report weekly to alert the supply chain team to situations where goods may have been received but invoices not yet processed. Statements are reconciled each month by finance to detect missing invoices. Suppliers can call the finance department any working day between 8.30am and 5pm to enquire when invoices are due to be paid. In the event that an invoice has been held for payment by manager but not previously communicated to finance, the finance team will ascertain the reason and communicate this to the supplier.
