Finance would forward any dispute received from the vendor to Purchasing where they would retrieve the signed original credit application form that was received from the vendor for completion and present to the vendor to support the terms we are paying to. Payment term queries/disputes are typically raised when a supplier is confirming/chasing payment with the accounts payable finance team, which can be by both telephone and email.
