# System Reattributed Actions Explained

You can [can reverse or modify actions](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/actions-and-payouts/payouts/approve-reverse-and-modify-pending-payouts-for-actions) before they lock. However, some actions are reversed by the impact.com system, and these are known as System Reattributed actions.

When you [view a list of reversed actions](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/actions-and-payouts/actions/view-a-list-of-reversed-actions), the *Reversal Reason* filter can contain the reversal reason `System Reattributed Order`, which may appear for one of two reasons:

1. **User-Initiated Reattribution:** You requested an action to be re-attributed before locking.
   * impact.com can correct attribution to ensure that actions not yet locked are still eligible for crediting. System Reattributed actions aren’t initiated in the platform. Please [contact support](https://app.impact.com/support/portal.ihtml?createTicket=true&&) for assistance with reattributing any actions.
2. **System-Initiated Reattribution:** impact.com actioned re-processing for data quality reasons.
   * impact.com corrects attribution to ensure the correct partner can receive credit for actions that would otherwise be attributed to a media channel or a different partner. This correction can happen for data quality reasons, such as when an issue during data processing affects event correlation.

Both user- and system-initiated reattribution is processed by impact.com, so both types will always have `System Reattributed Order` as the reversal reason.

**Actions with Duplicate OrderIds**

When an action is reversed by impact.com with the reason `System Reattributed Order`, a new `Pending` action is created with the same orderId. Only this `Pending` action is considered payable.
