Updating a Customer Conversation

   Overview   

The Financial Management System allows you to review a conversation with a customer contact, track broken promises, and define actions to be taken. You can add additional conversation information for an existing customer. You can view conversations and the status of promises made by customers using conversations on the Conversations tab of the Collections Workbench.
