Overview

The disputes feature enables a service provider to record the details of a dispute against an invoice and to manage that dispute through to it's natural conclusion. A dispute can be raised against specific cardlines on the invoice, or a 'general' dispute can be raised where the disputed amount is not related to a specific charge but still tracked against the invoice.
