    Warranty Procedure

    Hi All
    Is there a section on warranty procedures in the manuals
    I want to be able to log a warranty returned to us
    I need to see a summary of initial charges, then time spent repairing as a cost against initial repair.
    I.e. Initial repair (1) hr $95.00 then Warranty time was (0.75) hr at $70.00 against this repair, but the summary report needs to show both transaction with final gross profit showing $25.00.

    I tried creating another ticket and inputting a labour cost as (-1) hr at $70.00, used the charge summary report for this customer but it only shows a $25.00 transaction and no breakdown.

    Is there an easier way to control an internal warranty claim for processing productivity.

    kind regards
    Ray

    Hi Ray,

    The way you tried to implement this sounds interesting. You don't need an extra ticket for this, only enter the extra charge. I think that if you use a detailed charge report you should be able to see both charges the way you want to. Try using a more details report (e.g. List of Charges), not a summary report. You can also use a Technician Service Form Including Charges. This should show you the information you want.

      Hello Sherry
      If I do this it will show that job was more profitable ($95.00 + 70.00 = $165.00) rather than losing money which is ($95.00 - 70.00 = $25.00).
      I.E. First charge $95.00 but then the machine comes back in and I have to do this repair for free, therefore the time spent on this repair which is: $70.00 needs to go against the first repair so that my final profit for this job is $25.00.
      I hope I am making sense
      regards

        Hi Ray,

        I think this can be done by entering two charges for the same ticket, one being negative. I will demonstrate, and I hope it will make this clearer:

        1) Enter the work charge as a regular charge
        2) Enter the warranty charge as a negative value



        3) Now you have two charges for this ticket



        4) When generating a report or an invoice, you will have the correct amount:




        I hope this makes more sense now. Let me know if I'm missing anything.
