Heineken UK aim to resolve invoice and payment disputes or queries as quickly as possible. An accounts payable helpdesk offers support to suppliers with any query regarding the expected payment date of an invoice via the following address: Suppliers_UK@Heineken.com Once an invoice dispute is received, we aim to resolve this immediately at the point of contact with the accounts payable team. If this is not possible, the query will be escalated to the business contact. When resolved, the invoice will be available for payment on the next standard payment run. Contractual disputes, not necessarily related to payment date enquiries, are addressed via the contractually agreed procedure. If no contract is in place then any disputes should be directed to the individual(s) who placed the order, or received the goods and/or services provided.
