Dispute Resolution Process

Computacenter does not reject supplier invoices that do not match orders, but instead proactively addresses invoice queries to suppliers to obtain missing information, request clarification or resubmission. In accordance with our ‘no PO, no pay’ policy, PO vendor-related invoices without a valid purchase order number are rejected. Computacenter has published guidance on its website for ensuring invoices are complete and accurate and therefore can be paid in accordance with the terms.
