Dispute resolution process

To be approved for payment, invoices must quote a valid order number and have been receipted (either goods received note or certification). Where an invoice does not quote a valid order number this is queried with the supplier. Where the invoice includes items or charges not on the order, or not receipted, this is queried with the supplier and the person who raised the order. Disputes are escalated to the Accounts Payable Manager and then if not resolved in a timely manner to the Finance Director.
