Invoices are matched on receipt and disputed invoices notified to the supplier. Disputes are managed directly between the supplier and the individual who requested the goods or who also advise Accounts Payable that the invoice is in dispute and should be placed on hold. This allows Accounts Payable to provide an explanation if the supplier contacts them about payment.
