Dispute resolution process

Molson Coors are committed to efficient invoice and payment processing. We believe that it is important to provide our suppliers with a fair and transparent dispute resolution process which deals with what actions they can take if and when a dispute or concern arises. With this in mind, our suppliers are issued with a copy of our invoice process and dispute resolution process at the outset of the relationship. Invoices with price and quantity discrepancies outside accepted tolerances will not be included in payment until the mismatch is resolved. All discrepancies are investigated internally by the buyers to verify if the invoice is correct or not; this is typically the person who placed the order with you. Our Accounts Payable Team will inform you of any discrepancy requiring your action, including the reason for the rejection. Please ensure that your contact details are up to date and correct. These can be updated by contacting BPO-CBL.accountspayableprocessing@molsoncoors.com. Please contact the Accounts Payable Team by or phone or e-mail for status updates of individual invoices and by e-mail only for a large number of invoices or a full statement. Our accounts payable team endeavour to provide a first response within 3 working days of receiving a query.
