Dispute Resolution Process

• Invoices displaying a different cost price to the agreed purchase order will be queried with the relevant buyer, if price on the invoice is correct then the invoice will be fully paid, however, if our buyer confirms Selfridges’ price is correct a debit note will be raised and deducted from the invoice at point of payment. Any queries on the related debit will initially be directed back to the relevant buyer and then dispute follows line management escalation within finance team to resolve. • Invoices received with a quantity discrepancy to items received/not received on system, a POD is requested from the relevant company to prove goods have been delivered. The POD is then sent to our warehouse for validation and dependant on outcome from warehouse: a) Warehouse can confirm goods have not be received using their paperwork, AP will go back to supplier confirming goods haven’t been received and raise the relevant debit and deduct at point of payment b) Warehouse cannot identify a shortage in the delivery, AP to further investigate with stock audit / buying dept, if confirmed goods have been received pay invoice in full. Any queries on the related debit will follow line management escalation within finance team to resolve. • Any discrepancies are escalated to our Accounts Processing Managers to investigate and resolve.
