Dispute Resolution Process

Claims for short deliveries are sent to the supplier as soon as the goods are received. These claims are then resent to the supplier after 30 days if we have not received a credit note. Claims for pricing errors are sent to the supplier when the invoice is matched and then resent to the supplier if no credit is received after 30 days. We run our supplier payments weekly and maintain a regular dialogue with our suppliers to ensure that all invoice discrepancies are resolved as quickly as possible.
