Dispute resolution process

The Business operates a standard 3-way match for most goods/services ( Purchase order, goods receipt and Invoice). Settlement of a payment takes place in the Accounts Payable department via the 3 way match. If a 3 way match is not possible the end user/receiver of the goods/services are contacted by the AP department to resolve the query. If end user cannot resolve the query we obtain manual approval with the respective head of department and manually release the payment to the supplier. All disputes are aimed to be resovled within the contractual terms where possible. Suppliers should contact the Accounts Payable department with all queries - Accounts@accord-healthcare.com
