Preliminary StepExplanation
Maintain equipment data and customer warranty dates

If you have entered the start date and end date for the customer warranty of an equipment in its master record, the system checks the validity of the claim based on these dates. Before you use the warranty for individual objects within your claim process, you need to enter the warranty start date and warranty end date in the equipment master record.

Maintain customer data

In the warranty claim process, a business partner representing the customer is used to derive the correct prices, post the amount to accounting, and identify where the claim statement should be send to.

Check pricing condition records

To ensure that the appropriate amount can be reimbursed to the customer, the correct prices need to be maintained in the system. Each of the different item types (material, labor, etc.) has its own conditions to ensure proper maintenance and relationship to the already existing pricing records.
