Dispute resolution process

We provide purchase orders to our suppliers. This clearly states the quantity and price. If the supplier fulfills the order then our requisitioners will receipt the order so the supplier invoice will be paid within our standards terms. If the invoice is in dispute, then the requisitioner will advise why they have not receipted the order. e.g., damaged good returned.
