Menu Path: Accounts Receivable Chargebacks Chargeback Redistribute
Redistribute a master chargeback into multiple chargebacks
Transfer a chargeback from one customer to another
Use Chargeback Redistribute to break up a large, master chargeback into detail chargebacks supplied on the customer’s payment remittance advice.
Note A master chargeback is sometimes created instead of all of the individual chargeback detail because of the time that it takes to enter this information. During payment application, you may want to apply payments to invoices, but not spend the time at this point entering the chargeback detail. You might prefer to enter the chargeback detail at a later time, assign this task to someone else, or import this information from a file sent to you by the customer.
To create the detailed chargeback records from a master chargeback, select the billing customer and a chargeback reference number. Then, enter the individual chargeback details, and click the OK button.
Note Individual detailed chargebacks do not show up on the customer’s account until the OK button is clicked. You do not need to redistribute detailed chargebacks all at once. You can click OK, and re-enter to add the remaining detailed chargebacks at a later time.
Note A chargeback created from a redistribution cannot be redistributed.

Field or Button |
Description |
Enter the customer’s internal reference number for the chargeback. Note For large mass merchant customers, this reference number is important for the resolution of chargebacks. This is often the same reference number that is used to return products for credit. This reference number is used in Chargeback Automatic Apply to resolve chargebacks and credit memos. |
|
Enter the chargeback date assigned by the customer, or click the drop-down arrow to select the date. If the Default Chargeback Date to Payment Date check box is cleared in Customer Payment Rule Maintenance for the customer, group, or division, then this field is blank. Otherwise, it defaults to the payment date. Note If you select the C/B Date check box, the most recently entered chargeback date is used as a default for additional chargebacks being entered. |
|
Enter the invoice reference number if the chargeback is related to a specific previous invoice, or click the Lookup button to select an invoice number. This number can be helpful for chargeback resolution. |
|
Enter the customer’s return authorization number if it is available. This number can be helpful for chargeback resolution. |
|
Enter the customer’s chargeback reason code, or click the Lookup button to select the customer's chargeback reason code. Sometimes, customer’s have their own reason code system, and this helps with chargeback resolution. A customer’s chargeback reason code can be directly linked to a chargeback reason code and a chargeback status code. For more information, see Customer Chargeback Reason Maintenance. Example 12345 is the code for Return of Defective Products for the XYZ Mass Merchant customer. Note If you select the Cust Reason check box, the most recently entered customer reason code is used as a default for additional chargebacks being entered. |
|
Enter the reference date associated with the chargeback, or click the drop-down arrow to select the date. This defaults to the reference date for the chargeback being distributed. This date is used for accounts receivable aging when aging by reference date. Note If you select the Ref Date check box, the most recently entered reference date is used as a default for additional chargebacks being entered. |
|
Enter the billing customer code, or click the Lookup button to select the billing customer code. This defaults from the billing customer code of the master chargeback. Note Sometimes chargebacks need to be transferred to another billing customer, so this field can be overridden with another billing customer. You can only select a billing customer with the same paying customer code. |
|
Enter the store number or ID. This is typically used for mass merchant accounts with retail store identification numbers to help in the resolution of the chargeback. The store ID is retained when you enter chargebacks. |
|
Enter the chargeback reason code that you have set up for this type of chargeback, or click the Lookup button to select the reason code. For more information, see Chargeback Reason Maintenance. Example Defects is the reason code set up for Return of Defective Products. This reason code is used for selection and sorting in Chargeback Task Management, Chargeback Management Aging Analysis, and the Business Intelligence module. This field defaults to the reason code for the chargeback being redistributed. If a customer reason code is entered that has an associated reason code, then the associated reason code is always used (even if the Reason check box is selected). If a customer reason code is not entered and the Reason check box is selected, then the reason code defaults to the reason code from a previous entry. If a customer reason code is not entered and the Reason check box is cleared, then the reason code defaults to the reason code set up in Customer Payment Rule Maintenance. |
|
Enter the due date associated with the chargeback, or click the drop-down arrow to select the date. This defaults to the due date for the chargeback being distributed. This date is used for accounts receivable aging when aging by due date. Note If you select the Due Date check box, the most recently entered due date is used as a default for additional chargebacks being entered. |
|
Enter the customer code of the customer that is the originator of the chargeback, or click the Lookup button to select the customer code. You can use this field if a billing customer has multiple related customers (e.g., mass merchant retail stores). This can help with resolution. |
|
Enter the chargeback status code that you have set up to track this type of chargeback, or click the Lookup button to select the status code. For more information, see Chargeback Status Maintenance. Example Research is the status code set up for Chargeback Needs Research. This status code is used for selection and sorting in Chargeback Task Management, Chargeback Management Aging Analysis, and the Business Intelligence module. This field defaults to the status code for the chargeback being redistributed. If a customer reason code is entered that has an associated status code, then the associated status code is always used (even if the Status check box is selected). If a customer reason code is not entered and the Status check box is selected, then the status code defaults to the status code from a previous entry. If a customer reason code is not entered and the Status check box is cleared, then the status code defaults to the status code set up in Customer Payment Rule Maintenance. |
|
Enter the customer’s expiration date associated with this chargeback, or click the drop-down arrow to select the date. Some mass merchants disallow the challenge of chargebacks based on the number of days since they were issued. This expiration date is used for selection and sorting in Chargeback Task Management, Chargeback Management Aging Analysis, and the Business Intelligence module. If a number greater than zero is entered in the Customer Chargeback Default # of Expiration Days field in Customer Payment Rule Maintenance, then the expiration date will initially be calculated by adding that number of days to the chargeback date. Note If you select the Exp Date check box, the most recently entered expiration date is used as a default for additional chargebacks being entered. This will only function if 0 is entered in the Customer Chargeback Default # of Expiration Days field in Customer Payment Rule Maintenance. Note This date field could also be used for internal purposes. For example, if the goal is to resolve all chargebacks within 60 days, then you could set the expiration date to be 60 days from the chargeback date. |
|
Enter the customer’s purchase order number if it is available. This number can be helpful for chargeback resolution. |
|
Enter the accounts receivable account for the chargeback, or click the Lookup button to select an account. This defaults to the accounts receivable general ledger account for the master chargeback.
