Dispute resolution process

The main point of contact for disputes is the Global Shared Services Centre (locations in Slovakia and India). When an invoice is rejected an email is sent indicating the invoice number and reason for rejection. To resolve a dispute, the supplier is required to provide any missing information or a corrected invoice. IQVIA follows a strict no PO no pay policy. The PO number is communicated by IQVIA's procurement team at the time of placing the order.
