Dispute Groups
Only Users with access to the Debt admin role will be able to add Dispute groups.
There are some pre-configured Dispute groups, which can be Edited or Locked.
Tip
Leave the two Author based one’s as standard one to use for genuine disputed documents but create additional ones for documents held for other reasons i.e. internal queries, coding checks etc.
Dispute groups are used on transactions when entering the details of the dispute to allow filtering to be applied.
