Dispute resolution process
For Goods for Resale invoices, disputes are raised with the supplier within 48 hours of receiving the goods. If a copy of Delivery Note is required, this will be requested from the supplier. If there is a dispute regarding quality, these will be raised with the supplier and will be dealt with on an individual basis. Payment continues to be made on invoices not in dispute, and only disputed invoices will be excluded from payment runs.
