    About dispute intake form

    The dispute intake form is designed to gather all necessary information before submitting a claim to the card network or processing an ACH dispute. The field questionnaire includes a variety of questions that help identify the dispute reason code based on the case type and responses to specific questions such as "Did you authorize this transaction?".

    The Event Inquiry application provides a comprehensive overview of the events that led to the dispute. To understand how the Event Inquiry application works and how to customize the dispute intake form, see Configure intake questionnaire.

    The intake process simplifies data collection, making it easier for dispute agents to complete the intake and assess chargeback eligibility. This streamlined approach ensures that all relevant information is captured efficiently, enhancing the overall dispute resolution process.

    About Event Inquiry application

    The Event Inquiry application stores all questions and automates the intake process, which helps gather detailed information for each dispute. This streamlines processing and improves efficiency.

    Key tables in Event Inquiry include:
    Intake Form [sn_evnt_inq_qtn]
    Serves as the base table for the dispute intake tables in FSO Card Operations.
    Intake Form Label [sn_evnt_inq_question]
    Provides the labels for a specific field on a specific table, and admins can do that mapping.

    Questionnaire data model

    The Dispute Intake form has been extended into the Dispute Intake table. The table includes both cardholder and agent related questions, while the Dispute Cardholder Intake table addresses cardholder-related questions. These tables are available in Financial Services Card Operations.

    Unified intake experience with a generic questionnaire design

    The dispute intake process provides a unified experience enabling cardholders, account holders, contributors, and agents to raise disputes for both card and non-card (ACH) transactions seamlessly.

    Using a generic questionnaire design streamlines the dispute resolution process across different card and non-card networks. Each network has unique questions for specific transactions. When a customer initiates a dispute and selects a transaction, the system triggers a set of generic questions in the case workflow. If the case involves only one transaction, a single dispute questionnaire activity will include all required questions.

    For disputes involving multiple transactions in a single case, a common questionnaire provides a unified approach for gathering insights into the dispute. The system updates this set with transaction-specific questions, ensuring that only relevant questions for the appropriate Network ID of the transaction are asked. These responses are automatically applied to the disputed transactions. Users can review and update them under the Fill Additional Questionnaire activity when adding transaction-specific details.

    A generic questionnaire design:
    • Improves the experience for both customers and agents by asking only the necessary questions relevant to the Network ID of the transaction.
    • Enables for seamless collection of standardized questions across different transaction networks, with easy updates as needed for each network.
    • Simplifies the data model across multiple transaction networks, optimizing the dispute processing regardless of the network involved.
