Dispute resolution process

All discrepancies are highlighted back to the Vendor upon receipt of the invoice. Both Parties are expected to communicate to bring the query to a satisfactory conclusion. Disputed invoices are reviewed with the Internal Buyers. Invoices in query are held back from the Payment Runs. If the dispute is not resolved within the Contractual Payment Terms this will be reflected in the data provided in this report. The aim is to resolve queries within the payment period. During this specific reporting period a particular Supplier issued a high volume of incorrect invoices. These followed the Company dispute process but impacted the reported figures. These have now been settled. Any delays in payment are invariably due to queries between the Vendor and our Company and as such the Vendor will be fully aware of the reason for the delay.
