# What's a Good Way to Claim Credit From Suppliers for Defective Stock?

A good way is to create a claim record for each defective batch, with photos, quantities, and the supplier's response, and to track it until the credit or replacement arrives. On **Jestor**, this runs through a **Pipe** linked to your products and suppliers.

Defective goods are often written off because chasing the supplier takes too long. Without a clear record, the claim loses momentum and the cost stays with the store.

## What untracked supplier claims cost

- Credits never received because nobody followed up
- Proof of the defect lost or incomplete
- No view of how much is still owed by suppliers
- Weak position when discussing quality with the supplier

## How supplier claim tracking works

- Each claim is a card linked to the **supplier** and the product
- Photos, quantities, and invoice references attach to the record
- Status moves from filed to accepted to credited
- Overdue claims are flagged for follow-up

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Follow-up reminders recover money that would be written off
- Evidence is ready for the supplier from the start
- A total shows how much credit is pending
- This scales from occasional claims to a large supplier base

| Defective stock written off | Tracked supplier claims |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Credit never recovered      | Followed until credited |
