undercharged and then re-invoiced the extra ?

I have an account ( pay on statement at end of month) with a Building Supplier.
I collect some timber - 16 days later I get an invoice for a further £90 because I was undercharged previously.
Conversation with manager - he tells me they have done a stock take , found their stock short and tracked it to my invoice WHICH THEIR EMPLOYEE had incorrectly completed ( shown an incorrect quantity ).
I have not yet paid for the timber at all - will be on next months statement...
Because I have not yet paid - can they add the £90 ?
Can they add the £90 at all ?
Their ts and Cs state " the price charged shall be the price applicable on the day of delivery" but this is not price but quantity which is incorrect ?

If bought bought 10 timber for example and took them away and they charged you for 5 then you are indebted to them for 5.
No doubt if you was charged for 20 and didn't notice you'd want the amount overcharged by back. Same principle0 -
Did you not notice at the time that the invoice was £90 short?0
-
No I didnt0

Have you had the timber they are charging you extra for?Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0

Yes - I have had the quantity they charged for - Its just that it was their mistake in getting their invoice incorrect and I am now faced with asking my customer for an extra £90 , 16 days after finishing the job ( or swollowing the mistake which I hadnt made)0

Do you want to continue using them as a supplier?0
-
Well, if you do a stock check you will find out if you have the extra timber and if you have you either pay for it or return it.0

If they are a regular supplier is it really worth kicking a fuss up on £90, u may find that you start paying extra in other items to compensate.Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked0

Ah, you have the timber but dont want to go back to customer, in fact depending on what was agreed with customer you may not be able to ask for more money - sorry.0
