Summary

The following article explains how to deal with Warranty Payments for jobs put through the workshop.

More Information

Once a warranty claim has been filed with the manufacturer or warranty company, approval received and work carried out and completed, you will be reimbursed for the work undertaken.

See How do I create a warranty account? and How do I create a workshop warranty job? for how to process warranty jobs through the Workshop system.

Manufacturer Warranty

Most manufacturers will reimburse you with a credit note to set against your account with them.

You should post this credit note onto the supplier account in your Purchase Ledger.

  • You are advised to enter the claim number into the "Comment" field when posting the credit note. This will aid you when reconciling your warranty control nominal account.
  • When posting the credit note you should allocate it to a purchase centre which links to the Warranty Control nominal centre. The standard centre issued with the system is '750' and links to Nominal centre '75001' Warranty Control.
If you do not have these centres in your system please see this article to create the purchase centre and this article to create the nominal centre.
  • The nett amount of the credit should equal the value of the workshop warranty job, if the claim has been settled in full.
    • If the claim is for less than the work carried out you may choose to journal the balance on your warranty control nominal to a Profit & Loss - Warranty Loss/Gain nominal centre.
  • If you did not mark the warranty job as paid you should use Sales Ledger receipts to pay off the warranty invoice to the value of the credit note.
    • Enter the claim number into the "Comment" field and enter your warranty control nominal account as the payment centre.
    • If there is a balance remaining against the warranty invoice you should post an additional payment to clear the balance on the invoice.
    • Enter the claim number into the "Comment" field and enter your warranty loss/gain nominal account as the payment centre.

Third Party Warranty Company

If you are carrying out work for a third party warranty company, you will be able to invoice the workshop job as though it was a retail job and take payment in the usual manner, either against the workshop job itself or via the Sales Ledger Receipts.

Please ensure the sales account has not been marked as internal else the VAT on the invoice will not be included in your VAT Return.
