Dispute resolution process
We operate a system known as Vendor Invoice Management, whereby invoices are emailed to a designated inbox for processing – invoices-uk.pigment@tronox.com. This inbox should only be used for emailing invoices where there is one invoice per PDF attached document. It is not managed, so invoice queries and statements should not use this address. Vendors who cannot separate their invoices to one invoice per PDF document should use the ‘SBO’ email address below, and Accounts Payable will manually manage invoices sent to the ‘SBO’ email address.
For invoicing and statement queries, vendors should use SBO.acctspayable@tronox.com (‘SBO’ email address). Vendors can also contact us directly by email and telephone for which contact details are available on request. We will respond by email or telephone.
Accounts Payable will:
• check systems to see if the invoice has already been received and/or is in query
• liaise with vendors to confirm payment details (past and upcoming)
• speak with relevant approvers on site to resolve invoice issues
• liaise with vendor to obtain and process missing invoices
