Dispute resolution process
All Accounts Payable related queries, disputes, complaints will arrive within the team typically via two methods - direct telephone calls or into a dedicated shared mailbox. This mailbox is monitored on a daily basis with a view of intercepting incoming mail in the quickest time possible.
The team is divided up into individual areas of ownership based on internal vendor clasification (alphabetical, critial and non critical). This allows for a dedicated point of contact being available to our vendors. Each AP Specialist is responsible for handling their individual workload and can typically handle the large majority of incoming queries. Should there be a need, escalation points are in place to ensure more intricate issues are given the attention needed. Level 3 AP specialists are the first point of escalation and if needed can then go up as far as the AP Manager to resolve.
