Invoices are received and are entered by the Purchase Ledger team on the Business Management System. Invoice variances (i.e. those not matching to a receipted purchase order) are sent to the buyer for approval on an internal intranet site. The buyer reviews the variance and if in agreement approves the variance and this goes to the necessary higher authority for further approval. On full approval the invoice is then paid within 7 days. If disputed the buyer requests proof of delivery and/or price confirmation. If no evidence is provided a credit note is requested by the buyer before the invoice is paid (net of the credit).
