    Can you tell us what Dynamics 365 application this question is related to? There are several different solutions in the Dynamics 365 family, like Sales, Finance, Supply Chain Management, Project Operations, and Customer Insights. If you can clarify the product, we can answer the question or move it to the correct forum.
     
    Please also explain the abbreviation CLR in your context.

    We have F&O and CLR meant to type CSR (customer service)

    Hi @MH
     
    Andre it is CSR not CLR as MH mentioned, I hope the right forum would be for this either Finance or CE.
    But based on the business situation below :
    The customer paid the invoice in full, and company already settled the payment.
    Later, the customer claims they were billed incorrectly.
    Now MH Organisation need to log a formal case, associate it with the original invoice, and assign it to a CSR for investigation/resolution.
     
    Step-by-Step Process
    1. Create a New Case
     Path: Go to Accounts receivable > Customers > All customers.
    Select the customer (XYZ) from the list.
    In the Action Pane, go to Case management > New case.
    Fill in the following fields:
    Case category: “Billing Dispute” or “Invoice Correction”.
    Case title: “Incorrect Billing – Invoice XXXX”.
    Origin: “Email” (if reported via email). 
    Description: Add the customer’s comments or attach the email.
    Responsible party: Assign the CSR or CSR group.
     
    Priority: Set to High if financial impact exists.
    Make sure you’ve enabled Case management parameters under Organization administration > Setup > Case management parameters.
     
    2. Link the Case to the Original Invoice
    In the Case form, open the Related records FastTab
    Click Add > Customer transaction.
    Use the lookup to select the invoice number in question (even though it’s closed).
    Save the record — now your case is formally linked to the specific invoice.
    3. Assign and Track the Case
    From the General tab, set:
    Assigned to: specific CSR or queue.
    Due date: according to your SLA (e.g., 5 business days).
     
    4. CSR Resolution Steps
    CSR reviews the invoice details, identifies the error, and determines corrective action:
    If a credit is needed: Create a Credit note (Sales > Free text credit note or via Sales order return).
    If a re-invoice is needed: Issue a corrected invoice.
    Update the Case status → Resolved once action is completed.

    Hi, 
     
    I hope you are using the collections page for customer cases tracking.
     
    Here, you can follow below steps:
     
    1) Create a new case from this page. 
     
    2) Select the filter of "Open and closed".
     
    3) Select the case and the posted transaction for which settlement is already done. Click on Link Marked records. Then you can click on show linked option showing in Open cases. It will show only these two transactions at bottom.
     
    4) Additionally, if you want to mark it as disputed, that can also be done from here, it will create follow-up activity.
     
    In case of any further assistance, please let us know.
     
    Regards,
    Neeraj Kumar

    Yes,
     
    further details that are relevant for the particular case needs to be filled in from the case page, from this current page.. You can go to the link and maintain assigned to, priority etc. 
     
    By default, the employee responsible will be updated from current user. 
     
    Same details will be available in the current form after inserting columns.. 
     
    Related activities, follow up can be managed from the current page also. It will be automatically linked to the case details, activity details.. 
     
    Regards,
