Dispute Resolution Process

In general RIUK Ltd adopt a no PO no pay policy and invoices received without such would be returned to the supplier in a maximum of four days from date of receipt. The invoice would be returned to the contact residing on the vendor card on our system or alternatively the invoice would be checked for method of receipt (post/email) to identify an email address for return. If this cannot be obtained a phone call to the credit control department would be made to establish these details and a system update would be actioned as necessary. Suppliers will be directed to their service user to obtain a PO if this is not in place/on the invoice and a request made that the amended invoice is re-submitted (confirming our email address) clearly showing the PO that they have obtained, managing the supplier expectation at this point. Email queries will be replied to generally within 24 hours of receipt. All invoices unless posted directly to the GL (authorised with approved signature by verifying against our authority matrix) must navigate the three way match. (Approved PO, matching invoice & receipt) invoices that are not in this state (but have a PO that can be identified as valid in our system) will be chased weekly with the business to approve any exceptions regarding price/receipt that may exist. Queries regarding unpaid invoices will be checked to ensure suppliers are sending their documents to the correct place (as we are a Shared Service Centre) for current queries and for future document/communication flow.
