Disputes

Who this is for. AR and cash-application staff who check disputed invoices in SmartCustomer. For AR Remittances, only the SuperAdmin role has access to this tab.

Availability. The Disputes tab appears in every SmartCustomer console.


Overview

The Disputes tab lists invoices that carry a disputed amount. Each row shows the invoice, the disputed amount, and the invoice's dates. Each invoice number opens that dispute's details page.

Dispute information also shows on the Invoices tab and the Customers tab. The last section of this article lists where.


Toolbar
