Dispute resolution process
If a Supplier invoice is not set up correctly as stated on the BDL Purchase Order, the invoice is returned to suppl with this email: "Dear Sir Madam, Thank you for sending us your invoice(s). Unfortunately we are not able to process. Please note that the missing/incorrect information is highlighted in red. We would like to inform you on the BritNed Accounts Payable process. as we are a paperless office we would like to request for your company to only (re)send your financial documents: invoices and statements/inquiries directly by email to: box.britned.invoice@britned.com To ensure a smooth procedure we would like to inform you on a few guidelines on how to dispatch your invoices. - Make sure your invoice always mentions your bank details. If this is already the case for your company, we thank you in advance. If this is not possible for your company then always send your invoice + the necessary bank details, on separate paper perhaps, combined in 1 pdf file. - Make sure you send 1 invoice in 1 pdf and not combine invoices. Because they are uploaded into a recognition system, they need to be separated. - Make sure invoice and additional files such as worksheet are combined in one pdf file. - More than 1 invoice per email by multiple pdf files is not an issue. - Make sure (the correct) BritNed Development Ltd Purchase Order number is mentioned on everyone of your invoices. - Make sure the correct invoice address is mentioned. When you send your email to box.britned.invoice@britned.com always mention your company name + the type of document your are supplying in the subject. In case of an invoice please mention the invoice number as well. We would like to thank you in assisting BritNed in this process where possible." Once correct invoice is received we pay with the term from received date.
