Customer Service - Assigning Warranty to an Equipment

Hi Consultants,
I am new to CS module.
Please help me understand where and how to assign warranty to an Equipment/ Serial number.
Are there any changes to be made in SPRO?
If changes done in SPRO, can i get the Warranty pop-ups of the equipment while goods return to create a Service Notification/Service order/ Billing?

Hi,
Try by defining activity and assigning to notification type for Installation after service confirmation,
Or do separately  process using the Repair order processing. Please Ref. the following link:

  • Apple Customer Service and warranty exceptions

    Hello all,
    Whilst I love my Apple hardware and software, and have had many good experiences with them over the years, unfortunately I post today with a complaint about what I perceive to be poor customer service and product quality.
    In late March/early April of 2006, I purchased a 1.83GHz MacBook Pro with great anticipation- Intel inside, Tiger OS, inbuilt webcam, and general awesomeness all round. I also purchased the 3 year AppleCare warranty, which was to be a godsend as during the following three years I would experience:
    *The replacement of the battery under the original MacBook Pro battery exchange program
    *The left fan on the unit dying in 2007
    *The logic board itself dying in late Feb/Early March 2008, thus bricking my laptop
    *Another battery replacement as the replacement for the original died before it (realistically) should have (Apple very nicely made an exception to the battery's 1 year technical warranty and replaced it for me).
    Fair enough, it's a new unit and was bound to have some problems. Unfortunately, last week the logic board died AGAIN; a mere 18 months after it was replaced in 2008. The unit is out of AppleCare warranty by 5 months or so, but I was urged by forumites and friends to call Apple, who would surely make an exception for me and pay for the replacement part, given my service history with the laptop and Apple's reputation for excellent customer service.
    Unfortunately, this has proved to not be the case. Calling customer service at Apple Australia I talked to Steven, who was firm to the point of rudeness when he stated that my laptop was out of warranty and Apple would cover nothing but the labour charges involved, as a "guesture of good will". When stretched, he offered me a $125 voucher if I wanted to purchase anything over $400 in the Apple store, and stressed he didn't have to do this but the company was attempting to provide good service to its customer.
    Despite my argument that I forked out over $3000 for this laptop a mere three years ago and am now looking at over $1000 to repair something replaced only 18 months ago, his line was that Apple provided a warranty and that was simply that (apart from a month or two grace). Five months is apparently "far outside the warranty period".
    I received no challenge to my assertion that after buying something which cost over $3000, it was reasonable for Apple to expect a consumer to pay an extra $1000 every year after the warranty finishes to replace a broken logic board. In truth, I find this near incomprehensible, considering one can buy the supposedly inferior build quality of a Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc and see it last not just beyond the warranty but another two or three years before it finally suffers something terminal.
    While from a warranty perspective Apple are well and truly within their rights to refuse to pay for the part, at the end of the day I am left to pay $1000+ for a repair for something which may only last another 12 months, plus $3500+ for a new Macbook Pro with AppleCare if I want a replacement- minus of course the $125 they are offering.
    I did some reading of the ACCC's website about my statutory rights and the Trade Practices act, and I note the following with interest:
    *Statutory conditions (goods)*
    The Trade Practices Act implies the following statutory conditions into consumer contracts:
    * The goods must be of merchantable quality. That is, they must meet a basic level of quality and performance, taking into account their price and description. They also should be free from defects that were not obvious to you at the time of purchase.
    * The goods must be fit for their purpose. That is, they should do what they are supposed to do and be suitable for any purpose that you might have made known to the supplier.
    * The goods must match the description you were given or the sample you chose from. For example, any carpet laid must be the same quality and colour as the sample you chose from.
    * You must receive clear title to the goods, including goods bought at auction. In other words, you can expect to own the goods outright and any restriction on ownership should be explained to you beforehand.
    While I don't particularly want to make a big deal of things, I hardly see $3000+ for three years use and $1000 each year thereafter to be merchantible quality or fit-for-purpose! This is supposed to be a high end laptop with excellent build quality, and yet I've a secondhand iBook that has been chugging for longer without issue than this machine!
    I told Steven from Customer Service that his offer didn't satisfy me in the slightest, and still put me in an awkward position with regards to repair and repurchase. He simply wouldn't budge, and refused to see things from my point of view (which another operator, Anu, was able to do and thus produce a much better response from myself). I have since asked to speak to his manager which- after initial resistance- I have been able to secure a future callback from. I have no idea how well discussions with he/she will go.
    What I'd like to hear from you guys and girls is your experience with similar situations, and whether you think I've a leg to stand on with regards my replacement request or the ACCC stuff above. Again, I love my Apple products but I hardly think asking them to replace the part while I pay for labour is a big ask, given the service history and my desire to continue buying and using their products.
    Love to hear your points of view on this one; thanks for taking the time to read it!
    Cheers,
    Dave.

    Dear meacod
    I have live the same, except that I Cure my MBP before it goes to die.
    A lot of older participants here just talk about Aplle care, which seem the automatic thing in front of a lack of real good quality on Apple products .
    But I think we pay the price, and my second hand MBP was much more expensive than a brand new PC with more ram, more Hard disk, and even a blue ray...
    I don't know your mbp history, but that's sure that we are not equal, in world, with Apple customer support. France is not so great, I don't know for your country.
    The only thing I think is that Apple should take care of us, as we have some unacceptable issues, for An Apple Product...
    Since 1996, when Apple was almost dead, saved by Bill Gates investment !!! , I have every year promote it, and it was not easy, but I have bring to Apple between 3 to 10 customers each year..
    since One year, I have stop that, because I don't believe anymore in Apple product's superiority .
    Oh, yes, on the paper, it's better, the system is really good. But the overall experiment can be so bad that I don't want to loose friends, or customers...
    I don't say it's always bad : I just say that it CAN BE SO BAD and that Apple DON'T take care of that...
    so, for your computer, open it, check it a lot, may be it's too late, but for instance, you talked about a fan, I have solved that case just by putting oil on the fan's axe...
    good luck

  • Bad customer service and warranty question.

    I called a couple days ago to see if could get my lcd bezel fixed, since it just started to crack and the bottom (basically the back of the lid when it's close)  for no reason at all. if i dropped it or did something to break it, i wouldn;t even bother calling. but it just started doing this naturally so i;m worried that there might be a bigger problem. i didn't think it was a big deal, and i do have a warrenty for a reason, so i thought i might get it fixed before it runs out and the problem gets worse.
    To be clear, i have the warranty that came with the machine. I called Lenovo expecting the same great service, but i got something completely different. I explained my problem and the women just started speaking at a really loud voice "it's going to cost you $995 to get it fixed, Do you still want to do that" I told her that i thought that my machine is still under warranty and she told me that is not covered.
    Since i have my thinkvantage tool open to get the model number and everything, i can see that i have 60+ days left. so i told her that and she comes back with "let me check your warranty." I'm a very patient person and rarely get mad, but at this point i was kind of confused and mad that she would just give me an answer without checking. she told me that i was not covered with accidental damage and i don't think i am.  But when i told her that the damage is not by accident, she got very defensive and told me a lot of stuff i couldn't make out. such as "it will still cost you 995 dollars and it would just be a waste of time to send in your machine and get it sent back. and that all damage plastic wise, will count as accidental damange and if there is no damage, they send it back, it;s still gonna cost 995 dollars.  This is all i could understand, since she was being loud and her voiced cracked over the phone.
    To replace a piece of pastic should not cost anywhere near 995 with or without warranty
    so i guess after complaning for this long, here is the real question.
    Is that true, that the warranty that you get when you buy a machine does not cover plastic damage because it would be part of accidental and you do not get accidental protection when you buy the machine, even when the damage was not the result of an accident. this is not even a week after they replaced my power adapter and HDD.
    I do plan to call back, but wanted to see if i can get a straight forward answer before i do.
    Thanks

    Escalate your complaint to the customer service satisfaction officer. 
    There is no warranty agreement in your warranty booklet, which explicitly states that case or plastics fitting is not covered. In such cases, one should assume that it is covered, provided that you did not damage the part yourself.

  • Customer Service and Outbound Delivery - Install equipment...

    Customer Service  gurus.
    I need your advice.
    In the same moment as we do an outbound delivery, we need to install the same equipments into the functional location hierarchy.
    We have the equipments, and we know how the material BOM looks like...
    But how should we add the "install process" into our buisness process ?
    How can we ensure to install the customer equipments in a functional location hierarchy ?
    We need the customer equipments in our hierarchy because we are responsible for the service.
    How do you normally do this ?
    Create a notification at the same time as the outbound delivery is created  or... ?
    Please advice

    Hi,
    Try by defining activity and assigning to notification type for Installation after service confirmation,

  • Customer Service - handling Warranty process for Materials

    Our Business,
    1. Our Plant is 1000 - sold a Equipment to a Customer "C100"
    2. A Material is broken in the part of Equipment - where the Material[M100] is under Warranty.
    3. This Material[M100] is received in Plant 1000.
    4. Then this Material[M100] is transferred to Plant 2000[Service Plant]
    5. Material[M100] is serviced in Plant 2000 then transferred to Plant 1000.
    6. Then this Material[M100] is given to the Customer from Plant 1000 in free of cost as the Material is under Warranty.
    "Here in Step 5. We have to know the cost of expenses for Service, that can be posted to Cost Center. Cost must not post to Material after Service as this is given to the Customer as free of cost.
    We have to Map this Business in SAP.
    Please suggest best fit for above Business Scenario
    Thanks
    Raja

    Hi ,
    thanks for your response. If you can provide me more specific details of this scenario without having PM/CS orders for warranty claim that would be great.
    We want to track , maintain  & raise claim for warranty parts in the system for serialised materials; also need to send parts to vendor at zero cost and receive back in the system - we will not be using SAP PM . so any inputs on how to develop this process with warranty functionlities in such scenarios will be very helpful.
    looking forward for more relevent responses..
    Thanks

  • Nokia customer service support - Warranty claim fo...

    Just finished being online with one of the support staff at Nokia USA's phone number, with a thick mumbling accent, and obviously having a hard time understanding english.
    Anyway lens shutter is falling apart, due to build quality issue or design issue, and I've wasted 30 minutes of my life to try to explain to the agent that I need a new back cover/battery cover due to this.
    He want's the whole damn phone sent in, and to keep it for 2-3 weeks plus shipping time, and has just spent the last 25 minutes of our lives telling me how to navigate the NokiaUSA website, with incorrect script trying to find his RMA submission request form.
    Sometimes its just cheaper to say ok. Nokia could've finished the issue in 5 minutes by taking down my imei, and then saying "we'll send you a replacement cover".
    Lord. Is that what we spend $500 on? Nokia warranty service and support is not worth a nickle.

    Thanks, I'm just trying to get an application I bought from the Ovi store (peggle). After a long email exchange with Ovi support, they sent me the application for the Nokia 6300 while I have a 5800 XM. Their telephonic support is quite bad technically (I was disconnected in 4 out of the 7 calls and connected to the wrong language in the other 2) and again they sent me the 6300 version.
    So what I would like to do is to raise this to a higher level where they might actually pay atention to what I've written. I've filled out the customer satisfaction survey. Maybe that will help.

  • Customer Service - Extended Warranty Sales Process

    Hi All,
    I want to implement Extended warranty sales process in sap. Here, dealer will send extended warranty form to company. Company wants to capture warranty related information (such as Vehicle number, Chassis Number, Date) in sap and want to sell warranty to dealer.
    Monthly once company will give discount to dealer based on performance. How to give discount to dealer monthly?
    I want to know the following details:
    Material type
    Item category
    Process flow
    How to capture warranty information?
    Thanks in advance,
    Babu

    Thanks for your reply......
    I have created new sales document type for extended warranty sales. I am using variant material for capturing dealer's requirement in va01 itself.
    Now my client dont want to create invoice for that sales order.
    With this Extended warranty sales order reference, they will create manual posting in Finance.
    Actually, they don't want to treat this as a revenue. This is a liability when they sell extended warranty to customer and after the extended warranty period is over (after 3 years), if the vehicle doesnt come for ext warranty claim then it will be treated as income.
    Is it correct process to leave extended warranty order (sales order-va01) without doing billing ?How can i proceed further?
    Thanks in advance,
    Babu

  • Complaint about your customer service for warranty

    Hi, My case number is 8005220794. You received my laptop on 7-14 for repair under warranty. I call you guys several times. I was told that you have no repair part. After all, you told us you were going to refund. Again I had to call the customer relation specialist several times. We always had to leave messages. When he called back first time, he didn't want to work with my wife. I'm busy like you. I can't take a random call while I'm working.Second time, he asked a print of receipt, and I sent it. Last time, you called us to ask about the dealer name/phone number. And, I'm tired now. I'm not sure how long this will take more to settle this case down. Is there anytime line or something? or should I wait for months or years??

    Ian,
    We have one of the best customer relation specialists on your case. As soon as he receives the information requested, he will be able to move forward to resolve this case. Please let me know if you require additional help.

  • Customer service warranty for components in an equipment

    Hi Friends
    Pl guide me how to configure the warranty for an equipment where only few components only will be replaced free of charge to the customer during warranty few components are charged during warranty, how to bill for the components that will be charged during warranty.
    Thanx and regards
    syed.

    I, too, had to followup via telephone with Tech. support in the Philippines.
    They dropped the ball, but quickly regrouped and the process is back on track to attain a fix.
    Apparentely, there is a "Service Depot" in San Jose, TX (SAT).
    I did not experience "hold times, " so only can advise to telephone back, take names and notes.
    Ask to speak with a supervisor, if at all possible, try and remain somewhat calm.  

  • Open-box warranty customer service despair

    Hi evrerybody,
    I'm addressing you guys at the forums because I couldn't get a proper support from BestBuy customer service. They referred me to GeekSquad. GeekSquad referred me back to BestBuy customer service...
    On 23rd of March I ordered an open-box excellent condition 15" macbook pro from BestBuy.com (Open-Box ID: {removed per forum guidelines}).
    The product came with a minor scuff. But I wouldn't bother to go for a replacement at BestBuy store (It's too far away from where I live).
    It also had 3 battery charging cycles. Another minor issue. I'm not sure whether it fits its excellent condition description.
    When I checked my warranty status (Macbook's s/n: {removed per forum guidelines}) on apple website:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do?sn=C02P93U9G3QD&locale=en_IL&caller=sp
    It states that the one-year warranty ends on 5th of March 2016 (18 days earlier than it should be from my date of purchase).
    Disappointed from BestBuy customer service, I contacted AppleCare (Apple's warranty service) with BestBuy's proof of purchase. They said that it's an open-box product and:
    Apple warranties start on the date of the first retail purchase. Our records show that the purchase date has already been established as March 6, 2015 with warranty coverage through March 5, 2016.
    The laptop was probably powered-on by the first purchaser and they won't update my warranty status.
    But... according to BestBuy.com:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/global-promotions/open-box-products-details/pcmcat295500050005.c?id=pcmc...
    It clearly states that: "The full manufacturer's warranty for an open-box product is the same as buying a factory-sealed product"
    So... I don't have, as clearly promised on BestBuy website, 1 year warranty on my purchased product and I couldn't resolve this matter with neither Apple's support nor BestBuy support.
    What do you advise?

    Hello azarim,
    Purchasing an open box laptop should be a pleasant and exciting experience, especially as they are at a discount price! It is discouraging to find that your experience may have been less than what you would have hoped for from a device marked as in “excellent” condition.
    I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had trouble receiving service through us, as well as Apple due to the different purchase dates. I can understand how frustrating and confusing this may be, as you seem to be receiving conflicting information regarding your manufacturer warranty from us and from the manufacturer.
    Using the information you registered with the forum, I was sadly unable to locate the purchase of this MacBook Pro under your name. With that said, I am sending you a private message to gather further details surrounding this information. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum, then clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

  • Customer Service won't fix my charger that is under warranty?

    So guys I have a dilemma with  customer service.
    Sometime last year, my iPhone 4's battery started to drain fast and I went to the Apple Store Square One. The first time I went, they ordered another battery for me. Then when I went, they said they already gave it out and to come back another time. When I came back a third time, they said there was nothing wrong with my phone! So I went to Apple Store Yorkdale and they replaced the battery for me, no hassle.
    Well now, I bought a Macbook Air 13" back in August (the new model). I took care of this MacBook religiously. But the cord of the charger near the MagSafe became frayed for some reason, and it completely broke so it won't charge my laptop anymore. I read reports online of chargers getting frayed (even the new ones) and customers got it replaced with no hassle. Well, Apple Store Square One said there was no way that they can replace this and then they blamed it on ME. I remember I put my iPhone 4's USB connecter into a dock on my desk and connected it to my computer and just left it there for months without touching the wire and even that became frayed (there were yellow and brown marks around the fraying on the cord).
    What can I do to get my charger fixed?

    The "no-hassle" replacement of chargers you speak of, is due to a recognized manufacturing/design problem with the old straight-cord version of the Magsafe charger. This "special" program is only for the old charger.
    New style chargers are evaluated on a case by case basis for a determination of defect or user induced failure.
    If determined to be "user induced", it was outside of, and not covered by warranty.
    Your only other option would be to take the charger to another Apple Authorized Service Center, for what would be a "second opinion".
    But as Kappy said, you may just have to go ahead and buy a new one, or escalate the issue.

  • Warranty replacement shipping issues (Poor Customer Service)

    This entire customer service experience has been a complete nightmare.  From mystery hardware problems to a Warranty replacement gone wrong, I'm 100% dissatisfied with HP right now.
    This all started when my office printer (LaserJet Pro 200 Color MFP M27) started showing an error code.  it's been so long ago now, I don't even remember what it WAS, but my entire company of IT professionals couldn't get it to work.  We contacted HP through chat to get a warranty replacement, as we were still covered.  I can understand that they need to ask some questions to rule out certain issues and maybe avoid an unessecary replacement, but we were on this support chat for OVER AN HOUR, being asked "have you tried plugging it back in?  Have you tried removing all the ink cartridges?..." 
    But the fun didn't stop here, no.  We finally got to set up a warranty exchange, and I checked my chat log... I gave the correct adress.  I got the tracking number and monitored the shipment.  It came in to the UPS facility on a friday, was marked as "incorrect address" and sat, waiting for someone from HP to respond and/ or reach out to us to correct it.  Nobody did, (I never got any emails or calls either), and as of Monday, the printer was HEADED BACK TO HP.  
    I'm going on 2 weeks now without a printer and I can't get in contact with anybody from HP because my warranty on the current printer sitting, useless, in my office has been "canceled" as soon as they shipped the replacement.  I can't get in a support chat because my warranty is no longer in effect and I don't have the S/N of the new printer to get in either.  I can't email anyone directly.  I tried to dispute the warranty, explained my situation in the notice, and got an email that said "Sorry, you have reached the warranty department.  Contact the correct department", and a link to right back where I started.  I'm being pushed around in circles and I am not amused.
    Now what are my options?  Pay $30+ for a phone call?  I need this printer, and I'm not paying a single cent for HP's mistakes.  
    My suggestion?  Get your act together.  This is entire fiasco is pathetic.

        AZRiddle, I hope you're feeling better since being released from the hospital. Even as a big company, we understand that some life changes are unavoidable.
