Suppliers are required to quote a valid purchase order number on their invoices which are matched to the Goods Received account. If there is a discrepancy upon matching the Accounts Payable team advises the supplier and requests a credit note or revised invoice. If the query remains unresolved, the matter is escalated through the Supply, Quality and Operational teams as appropriate. The company seeks to resolve queries promptly and professionally.
