Claim list:

Warning: If a claim's Held column is un-ticked, indicating that it has passed validation, you should submit it as soon as possible. If any such claim record is subsequently edited and inadvertently rendered non-valid, its Held check box remains un-ticked, enabling it to be submitted in non-valid form.

The claim list displays claims ready for submission. Held claims (incomplete and not ready to be submitted) are also displayed if Show held documents in the Filter section is ticked.

Note: All newly created warranty claims are Held as a fail-safe to prevent invalid claims being sent to Renault.

Document: Identifies the invoice that the claim belongs to

Type: I for invoice or C for credit

Date: When the repair was carried out

Claimno: Identifies the claim record

Account: Identifies the warranty account

WipNo: Identifies the WIP record from which the claim is derived

Sent: Date that the claim record was transmitted to Renault (blank if Held)

Submission: Identifies the submission batch file (zero before submitting)

Held: A tick indicates that the claim cannot yet be sent to Renault. Select this check box to perform validation on the claim. If it passes validation, the check box becomes un-ticked. Otherwise the Invalidity Reasons form is displayed, listing the reasons for failure.

Tip: If you select a ticked grid line's Held column to un-tick it, Autoline performs full validation on that claim. If it fails validation, a list of reasons for the failure is displayed and, on being returned to this form, the line's Held column remains ticked.

Tip: Click the Ellipsis button [...] to pick from a list of submission files. The following is displayed:

Claim number: Identifies a claim record so that, when you click the Compile button (tick), the grid is updated to display that claim only

Show held documents?: If ticked, when you click the Compile button (tick), the Claim list is updated to list both Held and non-Held claims

Tip: Ticking Show held documents? is essential for viewing all claims that have not yet been exported to warranty.

Note: Service notification records (non-claims) are automatically sent along with warranty claims and require no amendments to be made to them when invoiced. Therefore Show non-claims? is not ticked, unless you select it, to avoid cluttering the list. Further, in contrast to warranty claim records, service notifications are not Held.

Tip: After changing any of these settings, click the Compile button (tick) button to display the new list.
