How to process a defective product
When a customer or Sales Rep reports a defective product to an Account Manager, we must service the customer with a replacement and also require for them to return the defective product.
If you are a Sales Rep, report defects to your Account Manager immediately, DO NOT PROCESS ON YOUR OWN.
Follow the below steps when a DEFECT is reported to you, the Account Manager:
- Start a new Order in FDM4, using the original Sales Rep ID, DO NOT USE A 444X ID or submit a request on the Non-Sales Rep ID form.
- Price the item(s) the same as the original order.
- For the PO please enter "DEFECT ON [original order number]"
- Submit a request on the GO Returns Platform (Sales Deck > External Links > Returns).
- Wait for an approval from Jim Wolsiffer with instruction on the defect being returned.
- Once the RI claim is in FDM4, update the Customer PO# on the replacement to the Claim Number.
- The Billing Analyst will apply payment, if paid already, to the replacement.
