Disputes from suppliers regarding invoices and payments should be raised with the Purchase Ledger Administrator in the first instance. The Purchase Ledger Administrator will then inform the supplier of the situation regarding the invoice if they are able to (ie a department has requested an invoice not be paid until a specific condition has been met). If the Purchase Ledger Assistant does not have any further information then they will escalate the query with the relevant department at Bristol Airport. It will then be the responsibility of the department to resolve the query, either internally with the Purchase Ledger Administrator or externally with their contact at the supplier. In either case the Purchase Ledger Administrator should be kept informed of the query status so that they can provide more information to the supplier. The timescales to resolve will be dependent on the complexity of each situation as it arises.
