The scenario supported by scope item Warranty Claim Management - Supplier Recovery Processing (5HR) enables you to create a warranty claim that can then be forwarded to the respective supplier for a reimbursement. The scenario covers the relevant steps starting with the creation of a claim (based on a performed repair), continuing with the validation for completeness, eligibility for reimbursement, and the finding of the correct prices for material, labor activities, and so on.

Note

Once the information is sent to the supplier and their response is received, the scenario supports the transparent maintenance of values and the posting of the negotiated amount to SAP S/4HANA Public Edition, finance.

Key Process Flow

  1. Create, validate, and adjust claims.
  2. Set parts return relevance and check the execution.
  3. Send a claim to a supplier.
  4. Maintain the supplier's response to a claim.
  5. Post a claim.

Business Benefits

  • Increase your supplier recovery rate by easily creating claim for repairs, using the already available information in your system (materials, prices, and so on).
  • Save time and increase supplier satisfaction by only raising and sending out valid claims that are likely to get paid (by validating the claims with regards to master data and eligibility).
  • Keep transparency on requested and reimbursed amounts with the concept of using multiple versions and directly post the respective amounts to the appropriate accounts in SAP S/4HANA Public Edition, finance.
