-
Give us as much information as possible.
-
Read the responses you receive from Supplier Relations and follow directions. If information is requested from Supplier Relations, please send it back attached to the inquiry email chain per the instructions (do not submit requested information via a new email chain).
-
Manage your own inquiries. Cargill employees should not be filing inquiries on your behalf.
-
Avoid ccing other email addresses on your inquiries unless Supplier Relations specifically requests that you do so. Supplier Relations will only responding to the supplier email that submitted the inquiry.

Send each inquiry once, using the same email chain for back and forth communication. New emails create duplications that can be confusing and will create extra work for Supplier Relations and a possible delay in them responding to you.

Include invoice copies or related documentation (i.e. packing slip, bill of lading, or remittance notice, as applicable) so Supplier Relations can respond efficiently to the request.

If a response from Supplier Relations shows a partial payment has been made and you need clarification on the difference, respond to Supplier Relations with a request for an accounting of the difference so that you can apply the payment correctly and clear the difference as required.
