Dispute Resolution Process
Query on unpaid invoice • Request outstanding invoice number from the supplier • Search in Accounts Payable system to see if invoice is showing on supplier account • If invoice is present & validated advise supplier of payment date determined by due date • If invoice is not present on the account, check our interface management system to identify if has been received. If yes, determine reason for rejection and advise supplier of issue, then request invoice to be resent • If invoice has never been received, contact supplier to request a copy to be sent direct to the correct Invoice submission email address reinforcing the Group’s requirements for invoice submission • We proactively request supplier statements showing all outstanding items and use this to reconcile vs the supplier account on our ledger. Copies of any missing invoices or credits will be requested and sent to the correct Invoice submission email address for processing Query regarding payment received by a supplier • If a supplier queries a payment which they have received then we request the relevant account details, payment date & amount received by them to search for the transaction in our Accounts Payable system (Oracle) • Accounts Payable will check the relevant payment and advise if it has been paid into the account that the supplier has advised • Accounts Payable will then confirm which invoice & credit note number’s the payment was settling Query regarding payment never received • when a supplier advises they have never received the payment detailed in the remittance advice we will locate the relevant invoice and cross reference the payment details in HSBC • Accounts Payable will then check to identify whether it has cleared or has been returned to our account by the bank If payment has been returned we will identify the reason for failure and contact the supplier for the correct information, we will then amend the supplier account details when received in writing and resend the failed payment.
