Dispute resolution process

Vascutek’s Accounts Payable department is the first point of contact for invoice disputes. Most queries are centred around pricing queries between the purchase order and the supplier invoice. For this to be resolved our Procurement department would have to check that the prices on the purchase order are correct. This being the case, the supplier would have to credit the invoice and re-issue us with a new one. All PO numbers are communicated by Vascutek’s Procurement department, to the supplier and the requisitioner, when the order is placed.
