Dispute resolution process
Our suppliers have the email and telephone number of the Finance manager who will take any call from any supplier regarding a complaint. In regards to pay queries, if the invoice has been passed for payment but not paid it is usually due to the supplier not sending a statement and therefore, the Finance manager requests a statement and then raises payment for the invoice as soon as this has been recieved. if the invoice is in dispute then the purchase ledger clerk raises the dispute as soon as possible with the supplier and then awaits the response. Once the response is recieved she send this for approval to the relevant department head who either queries the invoice further with the supplier or authorises the invoice for payment.
