Dispute Resolution Process

We currently have an APA software in which helps accounts to resolve any invoice disputes. If we receive an invoice without a PO number then the supplier will receive a rejected email requesting that they contact the buyer for a PO and re-submit the invoice to invoices@mdgrp.com. If there is an issue with the actual PO then our automated system will send an email to the buyer and request they receipt/approve/amend the PO or advise of a new one if the PO has been used. The AP team also chase on a day to day basis to resolve any PO issues.
