Reimbursement Service Request
A Reimbursement Service Request is created when Cinch needs to reimburse the Customer.
The Reimbursement Service Request process follows similar steps to creating a Warranty Service Request. The differences are:
- The Service Type is Reimbursement.
- The Product Line will be specific to the available reimbursement types.
- The Service Job will be manually assigned to a generic Reimbursement Service Provider ID.
- When a Reimbursement Service Request is completed, a Claim is created for the total reimbursement amount payable to the customer.
