Warranty Claims can be created in two ways. The system can be set up to automatically create the claim when a warrantied item or job is identified in the system or each claim can be created manually by a user.
RTA recommends allowing the system to auto-create them to save precious time and only use the manual creation process when absolutely necessary.
This document will focus on the manual creation of warranty claims. For information regarding the automatic creation and the processes involved after a claim exists, refer to Warranty Claims Processing.
To create a claim manually, follow the below steps:
Refer to Warranty Claims File TOC for detailed information about each field in the claims file
Access the Warranty Claims Master List via the vendor menu option
Click the + icon in the upper right corner
