Dispute resolution process

We aim to resolve all disputes promptly and will normally do so by raising an abeyance note (request for credit note) to the supplier detailing the query, followed by contacting suppliers directly. The invoice is processed on the system and put on hold until resolved. This is done by the Site Accountant on each of our sites.
