Most suppliers submit invoices quoting a pre-approved Purchase Order number. Invoices submitted without a valid Purchase Order number will be rejected and the supplier asked to provide a valid Purchase Order number. Payment dispute resolution mechanisms are standard within our contract practices . Payment resolution events are captured within our risk event process and attributed to Supplier Oversight if operational resolution is not an option. There is a clear escalation process.
