Log the Call in Zoho Desk

There is a separate article for associating and logging a call: Logging a Call in Zoho Desk.

Overview

Customers may call in to change their bill due date for any number of reasons. Advise the customer bill dates can only be changed once per contract. Additional changes will have to wait till contract renewal, though exceptions may be made by the Accounts Receivable Team. If a customer has transferred from one mortgage company to another, the bill due date can only be changed at contract renewal. See notes below for other change restriction. Note: though this process begins in Zoho Desk, you must log into TIMX SCM to change the bill due date, then return to Zoho to enter comments.
  1. If a customer calls to change the bill due date on the first or last day of the month, with a payment due that day, that payment can be disabled and the due date changed if the call occurs before 9:30am. After that time the customer is charged and the due date change will take effect for the following month.
  2. If a customer calls to change the bill due date on any day of the month other than the first or last day, with a payment due that day, that payment can be disabled and the due date changed if the call occurs before 4:00pm. After that time the customer is charged and the due date change will take effect for the following month.
  3. Though CSRs are entering new bill due dates, it takes Oracle 15-20 minutes to update the database. The new bill due date will not display until after Oracle updates.
