Dispute resolution process

Usually our buyers contact the suppliers to query incorrect charges or non-receipt of goods. For pricing queries our suppliers will investigate our disputes and raise credit notes where applicable, however usually the invoice is held until the credit has been received before releasing the payment. If the dispute is rejected the buyer will adjust the purchase order value to the higher amount or advise us of their approval, at which point the invoice is released for payment on our next available payment run. For non-receipt of goods, we usually request a Proof of Delivery, which, when received and investigated, usually leads to the order being receipted and the invoice released for payment.
