# Manage Submitted Action Inquiries as a Partner

If you believe you were not properly credited for an action (aka conversion, like an online sale/CPA or app install), you can create an *Action Inquiry*. You can provide the missing order details to the brand for review.

Brands can approve or decline the action inquiries that you submit. The *Status* column on the *Inquiries* screen will display the resolution status for the transaction.
