Dispute resolution process

When an invoice is disputed, the supplier will receive an email from MBNL Accounts Payable Team or the original purchase order creator indicating the invoice number and dispute reasons (e.g., invalid invoiced entity, over-invoiced, incorrect information, etc). To resolve a dispute, the supplier is required to provide any missing information or a revised invoice. MBNL follows a strictly no PO, no pay policy. On a regular basis, MBNL Accounts Payable Team perform a supplier statement reconciliation with suppliers to discuss and follow up on the status of payment and resolution of disputed invoices (if any).
