A customer disputes 1 out of every 14 invoices. Today, that dispute lands as an unstructured email in your AR inbox: no invoice number, no disputed amount, no PO reference, sometimes no reason — just "this invoice is wrong, please call me back". Your AR team spends 11 minutes per dispute extracting the basics. Then 3 days routing to the right team (PO mismatch goes to ops, quality issue goes to customer service, duplicate invoice goes back to AR). Median resolution: 18 days. DSO impact: real. Customer satisfaction: degraded.
The Invoice Dispute form makes the front door structured. 12 typed fields, 90 seconds to submit (pre-filled when reached via the invoice link), and submission triggers the Dispute Management workflow. The Routing Agent reads reason + amount + urgency and routes to the right team in under 60 seconds. SLA-tracked from first click. Median resolution: 4 business days, not 18.
