Note: The eBill Payment-generated online actions do not have a corresponding, active Done check box on the Conversations page, as is normally seen in system-generated actions. An eBill customer may have multiple open conversation entries that require separate responses. An AR Specialist can choose to close an individual action but not the conversation.

The user can then perform the required follow-up action and select the Done check box in the Follow Up group box to indicate that this follow-up action has been completed.

When actions are marked as complete on the Conversations page, the system updates the corresponding action on the Owner Action List page (Accounts Receivable, Customer Interactions, Actions, Owner Action List, Owner Action List). This applies to actions associated with the Conversation Follow Up (CFLU) condition on standard Conversations, as well as with the Customer Promise Date Review (CPDR) and Customer Promise Date Broken (CPDB) conditions on Promise Conversations.
