An effective way to **manage warranty claims for manufactured products** is to identify each product by serial number or batch, check the claim date against the warranty period, inspect the product, decide on repair or replacement and record the cause and cost.

In **Jestor**, warranty claims are linked to the original order and batch, so the factory knows what was sold, when and how it was made.

## Why are warranty claims hard to manage?

Customers contact the factory months or years after the sale. Finding the original order and warranty terms takes time.

Claims are accepted or rejected inconsistently, and their costs are not measured.

Recurring failures are not fed back to production.

## What problems does warranty management solve?

- Slow identification of the original sale
- Inconsistent warranty decisions
- Unknown warranty costs
- Recurring failures not addressed
- Customers waiting for answers

## How do I manage warranty claims in Jestor?

1. **Record serial numbers or batches** on every sale.
2. **Create a claim form** with serial number, problem and photos.
3. **Check warranty status** with formula fields based on sale date.
4. **Inspect and decide**: Repair, Replace, Rejected.
5. **Record the cause and cost**, and link it to the production batch.

| Phase            | Owner            |
| ---------------- | ---------------- |
| Claim received   | Customer service |
| Warranty checked | Customer service |
| Inspected        | Quality          |
| Resolved         | Service team     |
