Dispute resolution process
The Accounts Payable department is the first point of contact for invoice disputes. Most queries are centred around pricing queries between the Purchase Order and the supplier invoice. For this to be resolved, the Procurement department would check that the prices on the original Purchase Order were correct. If this is the case, the supplier would credit the invoice and re-issue with the correct pricing. If this is not the case, the difference would be discussed with the supplier and a final price agreed. All Purchase Order numbers are communicated by the Procurement department to the supplier and the internal requester when the order is placed.
