Dispute resolution process
3rd party: Although dispute resolution provisions are contained in most of our supplier contracts, our company seeks to resolve all supplier disputes amicably. In most cases, in the event of a supplier dispute, an email is sent to our central AP help desk and is prioritized by an AP business partner for resolution. Disputes are generally resolved within 4 to 7 working days. The AP business partner communicates with both parties (external and internal) in order to collate the required information to help resolve the dispute. Intercompany : A large proportion of the supplier payments this company makes are intercompany payments. Any reconciliation differences are identified by the intercompany team, which are then directed to the Procurement department/Sales department/General Accounting team in the financial hub in order to be resolved. If necessary, disputes are escalated to the relevant finance controllers. The aim is to resolve the dispute by the next intercompany settlement date.
