Customer Warranty Invoice
Seamless Documentation for DBS/DBSi
Eliminate administrative bottlenecks and provide your customers with the transparency they expect—without the manual rework.
In your service department, a $0.00 balance doesn’t mean the documentation isn't valuable. Many customers require a formal invoice for warrantable repairs to maintain complete service records, verify the scope of work, and ensure transparency.
However, the default configuration in DBS/DBSi often prevents the automatic generation of these invoices for warranty segments. This creates a cycle of administrative "backouts," manual reopens, and delayed claims.
FDC Solutions has the fix.
The Challenge: The Administrative "Backout" Loop
When a customer requests a record of a warranty repair after a work order has been closed, your team is forced into a time-consuming manual process. This creates several operational disadvantages.
Work Order Reprocessing. Personnel must reopen work orders and manually modify individual segments just to produce a $0.00 invoice, consuming time that should be spent on revenue-generating tasks.
KPI Delays. Constant reprocessing negatively affects your Last Labor to Invoice metrics, slowing down manufacturer claim submissions and hindering cash flow.
Friction in Customer Service. Forcing a customer to wait for documentation that should be standard undermines your "right the first time" service model and can lower satisfaction scores.
Our Solution: Automated Warranty Documentation
To resolve this inefficiency, we have developed a specialized enhancement for DBS/DBSi. The Customer Warranty Invoice application allows your team to pre-flag specific customer accounts that have a standing requirement for $0.00 warranty invoice copies.
By automating this documentation at the start of the workflow, you eliminate the need for manual intervention at the end.
