New Claims Setup

Steps to setting up a new claim:

  1. Mark New Claims Ticket Submitted task as completed. This will ensure no one else is working on the same claim.

  1. Associate the Ticket with the existing Deal so they are connected.

  1. Fill in initial properties such as Ticket Owner, Supplier Involved, Claim Category, Original Product SKU. Reach out to client for any missing information such as In-Hand Date.



  1. Fill in the notes with the Update Claim playbook. If the "Offered Solution" is not immediately clear, leave this section blank.

  1. Update the claim to the appropriate pipeline:

Picture Submitted if the claim is being reviewed to determine next steps

Pictures Requested if we need better pictures/video from the client or any other additional information.

  1. Send the First Email template. Adjust and customize to the situation or ask for more info if it’s required. Example: Glance at the received photos of the issue. Do they properly show the issue or do we need additional photos?
  2. Edit the Ticket Description with the SKU/Item Name of what would need to be replaced. 

8a. Submit Ticket to Slack Chat for Review and move the pipeline to "Production Notified:.

8b. For 3rd Party venders move the pipeline to "3rd party vender notified" and reach out to the correct venders accordingly.



Thing to keep in mind:

Deal = Refers to the order itself. Ticket = The claim ticket. 

The Original Product SKU and the Supplier SKU will be different.

The Original Product SKU on the ticket is for the item that was originally vended on the original deal. If it is referring to the hardware, use the full kit SKU. 

The Supplier SKU on the ticket is for the new piece which will be replaced for the client.

The Original Product SKU should match what was in the Supplier SKU section on the Deal. 


Example: 

If the client had a graphic claim for the TV Stand print, input the graphic SKU in the Original Product SKU section which would be: ES-TF-TVS2-G.


If the client had a broken shelf from the TV Stand, input the SKU in the Original Product SKU section for the complete vended kit which is: ES-TF-10CV-TV3. 


In Ticket Description, we would write: Needs x 1 TV Shelf above the client’s original ‘claim description’ text and separate it with a line.
