Dispute resolution process

All suppliers have our accounts payable contact details (phone number and email address). If a supplier has a dispute to resolve, in the first instance, they will contact the accounts payable team directly. If the dispute is not straight forward to resolve it will be escalated to the more senior members of the finance team or the relevant contact within the business. Stock suppliers will contact our Buying & Merchandising team who normally looks after that account.
The measure here is based on invoice date, rather than date we receive the invoice - there are instances whereby invoices are received after the due date therefore the percentage of invoices not paid to terms is inflated as a result.
The median days that invoices were paid late by were 5 days after the due date.
