Add Claim
A claim for goods can only be made for items that have already been shipped. Once the claim is fulfilled, the products will be requeued (usually in date order) and reshipped without creating another invoice.
- Claims are typically made for products that have been damaged upon arrival or not received at all.
- After you have made the claim, the claim must be fulfilled to re-queue the products for shipping.

- Navigate to the Invoice Profile.
- Click the add claim icon located on the Actions Bar. The Add - Claim page displays.
