Dispute resolution process
In the event of a disputed invoice, the Apex order raiser will inform the supplier directly with the reason(s) for the dispute. The order raiser will also notify the Apex finance team on property, who will put the invoice into “query” status on the purchase ledger until the dispute has been resolved. If a supplier has a query about an unpaid invoice they should contact accounts.payable@apexhotels.co.uk giving their supplier details, the invoice number, amount, the Apex location supplied, the Purchase Order number and order raiser name if known.
