Overview


The following assignments are critical to claim resolution and mark milestones in the dispute lifecycle. It's important to know Visa's recovery processes prior to facilitating training. Included on this page is a chart and explanations of the assignments, but knowing Visa's requirements is imperative to strengthening the learner group's knowledge. 

Due to configurations and details of the test transaction, some of these processes may differ. Reach out to your Client Success Trainer for guidance.

Recovery automation will only work with specific transactions that are provided by the Association. As such, the prep work involves completing manual tasks including processing system jobs to expedite the creation of example claims. 

Reaching most assignments require that we either wait for QFD to complete a system process on its own or we can complete the process manually. Users should not be trained to complete these system processes. Trainers and testers may process system tasks in order to ensure workflow functionality and prepare for training in the staging environment. System processes should not be interfered with by anyone in the production environment.
