Reimbursement Service Request

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:
  1. The Service Type is Reimbursement.
  2. The Product Line will be specific to the available reimbursement types.
  3. The Service Job will be manually assigned to a generic Reimbursement Service Provider ID.
  4. When a Reimbursement Service Request is completed, a Claim is created for the total reimbursement amount payable to the customer.

  2. In the CEC, click New Job.
