Dispute resolution process
All Suppliers are managed by designated personnel within the Accounts Payable Department and disputes in the first instance should be directed to the account owner. Escalation can be within the Finance Department or to the relevant Buyer.
All stock invoices are matched to PO's and any discrepancies are directed internally initially to the relevant department for resolution. Unmatched invoices are reviewed regularly within the Finance Department.
Electronic Data Interchange invoices are used where possible for stock invoices, with other stock invoices e-mailed to apinvoices@furniturevillage.co.uk and expense invoices to apexpinv@furniturevillage.co.uk
