# Invoice dispute reasons
> Customize the list of invoice dispute reasons available to your team, customers and Upflow AI to better diagnose what is blocking customer payments.
Invoice dispute reasons allow you to better understand what is preventing some of your customers from paying. Having clear data on it will enable you to identify potential problems in your order-to-cash process and improve it.
You can customize the dispute reasons available to your team, your customers, and Upflow AI when disputing invoices. This helps you track disputes in a way that makes sense for your business.
# Default dispute reasons
Upflow seeds your account with these standard dispute reasons:
* Unsatisfactory work
* Faulty goods
* Late delivery
* Never agreed / Wasn't aware of payment
* Unable to make payment
* Pricing disagreements
* Invoice processing errors
* Other
You can edit or archive any of these to match your business needs.
# Why customize dispute reasons?
By default, Upflow provides standard dispute reasons like "Faulty goods," "Late delivery," and "Pricing disagreements." However, every business is different. Customizing your dispute reasons allows you to:
* **Track disputes that matter to your business** - Create reasons specific to your products, services, or common customer issues
* **Streamline resolution** - Help your team quickly understand and prioritize disputes based on relevant categories
