Introducing the In-House Repair Solution Process

The in-house repair process provides core functionality for repair and maintenance tasks such as pre-checking, (chargeable) diagnoses process steps, planning, repairing, and triggering billing for the repaired objects.

A customer service representative for in-house repairs enters a repair object in the system. For this repair object, a returns order can be entered by a returns and refund clerk, once a customer decides to return the object.

After the physical goods receipt has been posted (by a shipping specialist) and the returned object has been inspected (by a receiving specialist), an initial check can be executed by the customer service representative for in-house repairs.

If needed, a diagnosis can be planned (by a customer service manager for in-house repairs) and run (by a customer service technician for in-house repairs).

If no diagnosis is needed, one outcome could be to simply return the repair object to the customer (e.g. if it is not broken or malfunctioning).

The results of running such a diagnosis could be that actual repair activities need to be planned (by a customer service manager for in-house repairs) and executed (by a customer service technician for in-house repairs), for which the customer is then billed. Before preparing and later executing the billing of the customer for the repair work, it is also possible to first issue a repair quotation to the customer. If the customer rejects the repair quotation, the repair object is simply returned. If the customer accepts the repair quotation, the repair work is planned and executed and then later billed based on the repair quotation.
