Specifically regarding complaints from suppliers, most suppliers and/or their finance department will have the direct contact details of our accounts payable department who they will contact in the first place, particularly if the complaint is administrative or due to payment. Once contact is made, usually by phone or email, a member of the AP team will resolve. In the majority of cases there is an easy resolution but if there is a more significant problem it may be escalated internally and if necessary to the account or relationship manager at the supplier in question.
