Supplier invoices and payments are managed by our Accounts Payable team. Disputed invoices will be notified to the supplier by the individual who initiated the purchase transaction to ensure that they are investigated in a timely manner and resolved. Invoiced items that are subject to dispute will not be paid until resolution of the dispute, whereupon payment shall be made either within terms or in the next payment run, following resolution.
