ServicePower Claim Troubleshooting

Occasionally, even with our diligent efforts, a claim may be rejected due to missing or inaccurate information. The following outlines common issues leading to claim rejection and provides guidance on addressing them. Understanding and addressing these issues should contribute to future error-free claim submissions.

This is populated into the claim form from the Defect Code drop box found on the ServiceWorks edit job page and often times comes pre-populated with previously entered information

Depending on the brand selected for the product, this drop-down may have different entries. If the drop-down is blank, you can manually type in the code, and it will save. If you use that brand again, that code will be in the drop-down for future selection.

Similar to the defect codes, these are populated into the claim form from the ServiceWorks edit job page and often times comes pre-populated with previously entered information

Depending on the brand selected for the product, this drop-down may have different entries. If the drop-down is blank, you can manually type in the code, and it will save. If you use that brand again, that code will be in the drop-down for future selection.

For some claims, a distributor number is needed. If this error is present, it can be addressed by following these steps:

Open the configuration tab by clicking on the cogwheel in the upper right-hand corner and navigating to Inventory Settings →  Distributor


Once in the distributor menu, locate the distributor that needs a distributor number and click the Edit icon at the end of the row with its name

In the Distributor edit menu, click the Manufacturer Distributor Mapping tab

Once clicked, you can use the drop-down box provided to select a manufacturer among the list of created manufacturers in your account, and then enter in the associated account number in the field to the right. Once finished with the selection and entry, click Add to complete this process.

You may encounter issues with OEM numbers not being present in the manufacturer’s settings, as most claims processors require this to be defined prior to submitting claims.

To enter an OEM number for a manufacturer, click the cogwheel on the right side of the toolbar to open the Configurations tab. Once opened, navigate to Inventory Settings -> Manufacturer

Within your list of manufacturers, locate the specific one you want to add an OEM number to and click the pencil icon in the action column

And in the following menu, enter the appropriate OEM number within the field provided. Click Save when finished to store your changes.

This option can be selected on the job page in ServiceWorks by clicking the “Stock Repair” check box located between the Repair Code and the Part Billing drop-down fields.

Checking this box will indicate it is a dealer stock repair on the ServicePower claim form. If unchecked, it will indicate “No” on the claim form

If this error message appears, please ensure that the dispatch field within the product warranty section in a job in has been filled in

The “Invalid/Inactive Part Number” error message on a ServicePower claim form typically indicates that the part number you’ve entered is either incorrect or not currently in use or available in the system.

To resolve this error, you can follow these steps: 

  • Double-Check Part Number: Ensure that the part number you entered on the claim form is accurate and matches the part you intend to use for the service or repair. Typos or inaccuracies in the part number can lead to this error. 
  • Verify Part Status: Check the status of the part number in the system. It’s possible that the part you are trying to claim is no longer active or has been discontinued. Contact your organization’s parts department or supplier to confirm the status of the part. 
  • Use an Approved Part: If you are working under specific guidelines or warranties, make sure you are using a part that is approved by your organization or the manufacturer. Some systems may only accept certain authorized parts, and using an unapproved or generic part could trigger this error. 
  • Consult Documentation: Review any documentation or guidelines provided by your organization or the manufacturer regarding part numbers and their usage. This documentation may contain specific instructions for entering part numbers correctly. 
  • Use Alternate Part Numbers: In some cases, there may be multiple part numbers for the same component or product. Try using alternate part numbers if they are available and have been approved for use. 
  • Review Part Descriptions: Check the part’s description to ensure it matches the part number. Sometimes, discrepancies between the part number and description can lead to errors. 

This error can occur in various contexts, such as when filing a warranty claim or service request. To resolve this error, follow these steps: 

  • Double-Check Part Information: Review the part information you have entered on the claim form. Ensure that the part number, description, and any other relevant details are accurate and match the product you are servicing. Typos or incorrect data can trigger this error. 
  • Verify Product Information: Confirm that you have correctly identified the product or equipment for which you are submitting the claim. Make sure the product’s model number, serial number, and any other identifying information are entered correctly. 
  • Check Compatibility: Ensure that the part you are claiming is compatible with the product you are servicing. Some products have specific requirements for replacement parts, and using an incompatible part can trigger this error. 
  • Review Warranty or Service Agreement Terms: If you are submitting a warranty claim, review the terms and conditions of the warranty agreement. Check whether the part you are claiming is covered by the warranty and if it meets the criteria for warranty replacement.

If this error is being presented, open the job related to the claim. Scroll down to the Item/Part list and then click on the “plus” icon in front of the item number 

Once expanded, the Invoice# field is shown. Update the information in this box as needed
