Dispute resolution process

As soon as we are made aware of an invoice discrepancy we issue debit notes by email to the supplier credit controller or lodge a query on the suppliers online portal as per the suppliers preference. The supplier sends correspondence to our purchase ledger department by email to provide an appropriate solution. Once the query is resolved the invoice is approved for payment.
