Dispute resolution

However, in some limited cases, invoices are put on hold when they do not pass internal financials controls check such as: No PO in place for invoiced activity. Invoice value is greater than approved PO value. PO has expired or certain key terms don’t match between the invoice received and the PO, such as legal entity name, invoice currency etc. There are cases where a supplier’s invoice is not received by the Accounts Payable team and a follow up query is received from supplier regarding payment.
