Dispute Resolution Process

Invoices are received by the Accounts Payable team and are either automatically or manually matched to the respective receipted POs on the ERP System(Oracle). Any invoices that do not match go on hold status and are sent to the requisitioner to investigate. If an error has been made on the Purchase Order an amended Purchase Order is prepared and sent for approval. This approved/ amended PO is then receipted and matched to the invoice which is then released for payment within the supplier’s contracted terms. If an invoice is disputed by the requisitioner and no evidence of delivery can be provided a credit note is requested and then when this is received it is allocated against the invoice thus allowing payment to be made.
