Dispute resolution process
Invoices that exceed an accrual are “stopped” for payment pending resolution (in dispute status). A central function called UK Invoice Dispute Team are responsible for communicating details of the dispute to the supplier and dealing with all subsequent communications. Invoices are automatically released for payment on receipt of the suppliers credit note, or on acceptance of the original charge.
