Note: When the ACH disputes resolution agentic workflow in Now Assist for FSO is enabled, the ACH dispute return recommendation AI Agent is available to assist you at this step. See Review ACH dispute return recommendation for more information.

Ensure that your assignment logic, such as Advanced Work Assignment (AWA), is configured so that when a dispute case is assigned to an agent, all associated transactions are automatically assigned to the same agent. This alignment helps maintain consistency and speeds up case resolution.
