Dispute resolution process

We follow a flow chart for approving invoices and this shows us what to do when a query occurs. A query can either be an internal one in which we will resolve ourselves in speaking to the correct department, and an external one where we are waiting on documents from the supplier i.e. a proof of delivery or credit note. We will contact the supplier before the invoice falls due, make them aware of why the invoice is on hold, and request what is needed in order to make payment. We do not pass any invoice that does not match our PO.
