Dispute resolution
Purchase Order Processed Invoices - Limited number of disputes arise for suppliers processed on this basis as amounts are pre agreed prior to any commitment being made. Any actual cost variances to the agreed amounts 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 handled 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.

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
