Dispute resolution process
Invoice queries are dealt with in a timely manner, to ensure invoices are paid on time. Any disputes are raised by either procurement and/or the Purchase requisitioner. Once this has been resolved, AP will deal with the invoice based on what was agreed.

Purchasing department will also discuss any issues directly with the vendors regarding errors within the order upon receipt of the incorrect goods or upon receipt of the erroneous invoice.
