During my briefing with FAs I communicated that masks were not going to be worn while in the cockpit; at any phase of the operation by me or my First Officer and that we were going to keep cockpit door closed while on the ground and no visitors.At that time FA A proceeded to instruct me about her own requirements to visit the cockpit; if pilots didn't have a mask...pilots will not speak while she's in the cockpit and if they needed to; it would be only facing forward and not facing her at all.I immediately told her that her demands were not part of any policy or procedure stated in any company publishing and that it was not going to be granted.FA A's attitude was very receptive and she conducted herself in a very nice and respectful manner.As I was deplaning the plane in ZZZ; FA A and Chief Purser called my attention to the screen of the Purser's cell phone; stating that it was a note from my Flight Duty Manager showing that masks must be worn during flight attendant's visits to the cockpit regardless.I suggested them to file a report because I had no time to go over their claim as I had just few minutes to go to our next flight.
Air carrier Captain reported a Flight Attendant did not agree with the Captain not wearing a mask in the cockpit.
