Dispute resolution process

Where non-payment is caused by invoicing inaccuracy due to incorrect pricing/quantities or the quality of goods or services provided, the AP function will dispute the invoice by placing it on hold. Invoices that are subject to a dispute will not be paid until the issue is resolved. Disputes are generally resolved with the department who has placed the order. If the matter cannot be resolved with the department, it will be escalated to senior management for resolution. Once resolved, payment will be made in accordance with the terms of the contract, unless the invoice is overdue where it will be paid in the next payment run.
