Parts & warranty administration · Ag equipment dealers
Get warranty claims paid and parts counts right.
Claims get denied for a missing failure code or labor outside the OEM allowance. Defective returns sit past the RGA window and the parts perpetual drifts.
The reality
Warranty is a claims-adjudication problem.
A John Deere or CNH warranty claim has to carry the right failure code, the complaint-cause-correction, labor inside the flat-rate allowance, and the defective part shipped back under an RGA before the deadline — miss one and the claim is denied or charged back. Meanwhile parts returns to the OEM and core credits have to be tracked to the dollar, and the perpetual inventory only matches reality if every receipt and issue gets posted.
The operator builds each claim from the work order, validates failure codes and labor against the OEM schedule, files it, tracks it to approval, and posts the credit. Defective returns, core credits, and parts receipts all reconcile against the inventory record.
