Claims for disputed invoices are raised to the supplier detailing its nature - quantity discrepancy (short delivery) or a pricing query. If the claim relates to a pricing query this is submitted to the supplier along with the supporting evidence from the buyers and remains on hold until resolved. If quantity discrepancy then where full delivery is missing we request a proof of delivery and hold payment until received, if part delivery is missing the invoice is processed and paid in full and credit is claimed.
