Some cashback and loyalty partners can submit *Action Inquiries* when they believe an action hasn't been tracked. You can review the action and accept, decline, or request more information from your partner regarding their inquiry. Need an example? See the *Example Scenario* at the bottom of this article.

**Example Scenario:** Acme Inc. is a brand that works with Russel Sprout as a partner. Russel Sprout drove an action on January 1 that wasn't tracked. He submits an Action Inquiry to Acme with the missing details for review. On March 5, Acme reviews Russel Sprout's action inquiry and determines that the action did occur, and that their partner should be paid out. If Acme accepts the action inquiry with the original January 1 transaction date:

* A new action with the event date of March 5 will be created and locked. The action will be paid out on the next scheduled clearing date.
* Acme needs to sufficiently fund their account to ensure Russel Sprout is paid for the action he drove.
