Purchase Order Processed Invoices - Limited number of disputes arise for suppliers processed on this basis as amounts are preagreed prior to any commitment being made. Any actual cost variances to the agreed amount are assessed by the business approver and raised with the supplier directly. For other supplier invoices, any issues will arise on the approval of payment of the invoice by the business. Resolution is therefore handles by the ordering manager and the supplier. Where an agreement cannot be reached in both of the above cases, this is escalated through the relevant business departments and management team (including Finance) to resolve.
