Dispute Resolution Process

ur Accounts Payable team can dispute or reject invoices when they are deemed to not be compliant. Reasons for disputes are subject to, but not conclusive of, incorrect VAT information, incorrect billing information, or if quantities are different to what has been received or approved at the PO stage. If an invoice goes into query then accounts payable will relay this to the applicable buyer to resolve with the supplier. There is a running query list that Accounts Payable review and publish internally to ensure that invoices are resolved accordingly. If an invoice is overdue for payment, then the supplier will be expected to reach to our accounts payable division, at accountspayableuk@abaco.com. This can be escalated to the Global Accounts Payable Manager. The accounts payable team, and all payment runs, are dealt with by the US parent company, Abaco Systems Inc.
