Dispute resolution process
Invoice queries are regularly chased up by the accounts team and aim to be resolved before the invoice is due for payment
Accounts will escalate the query to the relevant personell/department, once a response is received and the query is resolved
the invoice will be processed for payment by the due date
If the query is ongoing resulting in the invoice not being paid by the due date the accounts team will continue to communicate
with the relevant internal personell/department and the supplier until the dispute is resolved
Once resolved payment will be made on the next available payment run.
Suppliers with queries should contact the Ensus Accounts department:
