Dispute resolution process
Crerar Hotel Group Ltd requires all suppliers to have a Director authorised purchase order before any goods or services are provided to the individual hotels. Disputes may still arise however, such as quantity discrepancies/pricing queries, and where this does occur the hotel that the disputed invoice relates to will raise the query directly with the supplier. There is also a dedicated accounts payable team at the Head Office whom support the hotels in all aspects of supplier relations.
The query can be raised by telephone, email or portal, depending on the suppliers preferred method.
The invoice will be sent into Head Office by the hotel, at which point the accounts payable team will place the invoice on hold on the creditors ledger until the dispute is resolved/credit note received. Once resolved the invoice will be taken off hold and paid on the next month end payment run.
