The team will investigate reasons for nonpayment of invoices and if it cannot resolve the query, it will reach out to the relevant business department e.g., sourcing / operations, for resolution. Once resolved the invoice will either be passed for payment in accordance with payment terms (or the next payment run whichever is later), or a credit note received.
