Dispute Resolution Process

Business process for resolving disputes relating to supplier payments. - Should Accounts Payable not be able to process a supplier invoice due to a price, quantity or other query, the Procurement team are notified with the query. - Procurement check all documentation and contact the supplier to notify them of the discrepancy on the invoice. They may request a credit note or further delivery of goods to be made - Most queries relate to short deliveries or price discrepancies against the original order which the Procurement team are best suited to handle as they raise the P.O.'s and have an established vendor relationship. - Once a resolution is agreed, Procurement notify Accounts Payable and the invoice will then be processed and payment made. - Should the negotiation of the resolution to the query prove unsuccessful the Company will write a letter of complaint, including all details of the problem and enclosing copies of relevant documentation, giving the supplier a reasonable amount of time to respond. The letter is sent by registered delivery. - If necessary, the Company will contact the relevant Industry Associations, who may be able to recommend ways to resolve the problem. - If the dispute is still not resolved, the Company will contact a Dispute Resolution Body in preference to solicitors.
