The example story goes like this, our customer sold an ice machine that came with a 1 year parts/labor warranty. Within the manufacturers warranty period, the ice machine required a service appointment that resulted in a trip charge, on-site labor and a replacement of a defective non-serialized subcomponent part.
The end customer is not expecting to pay for the service charges because it’s covered under the manufacturer's warranty. However our customer the service provider would like to be reimbursed under the manufacturer's warranty program. They have no visibility for tracking the process of collecting reimbursement for the appointment expenses.
Any thoughts on this?
