Documentation

Definition

Classification of warranty claims that serves to represent different processing procedures. The warranty claim type also determines the screen layout and default values for the organizational data.

Use

If you create a warranty claim manually, you first have to choose the warranty claim type.

If the claim is created automatically via EDI, you have to let the claimant know the claim type that has been set up for his/her purposes so that he/she can return the claim type in the IDoc, or you have to implement automatic determination of the warranty claim type.

Dependencies

You define the control parameters per warranty claim type (procedures for output/messages, price and account determination, action control, document types, partner roles), the screen layout, the default values for organizational data and other parameters in Customizing for Warranty Processing.

Example

A post-crediting claim requires a different processing procedure from a pre-crediting claim. In a post-crediting claim, the warranty credit memo for the claimant is not created until an answer has been issued by the reimburser. In a pre-crediting claim, the warranty credit memo is created for the claimant before waiting for a reply from the reimburser. These different processing procedures are represented by different action controls and thus by different warranty claim types.
