Dispute resolution process
Kia UK Limited aim to deal with disputes quickly and effectively to minimise delay in payments to suppliers. The normal process would be to look at any disputes internally between Finance and the functional department. If it is unable to be resolved internally the next step would be to go to the supplier contact with the dispute. An approved Service Level Agreement of two working days time frame for escalation and response of queries to the relevant person. Once the dispute has been resolved the invoice would be released for inclusion in the next scheduled payment.
