Dispute resolution process
Vendors for the UK can upload and view the status of their invoices and purchase orders on our online portal, Ariba. All Invoice and payment queries are first directed to our outsourced Accounts Payable Business Partner, who have 48hrs to respond. Unresolved queries are then escalated to the internal Exception Handling Team, who have a further 48hrs to respond. If a resolution is still not reached it is then escalated to the internal Single Point of Contact Team. If an invoice is sent in without a purchase order it is returned to the vendor, to be resent with a purchase order number.
