Dispute resolution process
Usually our buyers contact the suppliers
to query incorrect charges or non-receipt
of goods.
For pricing queries our suppliers will
investigate our disputes and raise credit
notes where applicable, however usually
the invoice is held until the credit has
been received before releasing the
payment.
If the dispute is rejected the buyer will
adjust the purchase order value to the
higher amount or advise us of their
approval, at which point the invoice is
released for payment on our next
available payment run.
For non-receipt of goods, we usually
request a Proof of Delivery, which when
received and investigated usually leads
to the order being receipted and the
invoice released for payment
