Dispute resolution process
Invoices are processed on receipt and matched with Purchase Orders. Once Purchase orders are approved and confirmed, they are sent to the supplier for invoicing and paid shortly after receiving the invoice. Where there are invoice or payment queries our Accounts Payable team will notify the supplier and efforts will be made to resolve any dispute promptly. Any invoice not matching the Purchase Order is queried with the supplier, and if required a new invoice or credit note will be provided by the supplier. Any queries or disputes regarding contractual terms will be raised with the supplier and commercial or legal teams may support as required.
