Hi Vemuri,
Thanks for you prompt reply. This is the process:
1) The purpose is to service a vehicle that is still under a service plan.
2) It is claimed through a warranty vehicle not because it is still under car warranty period (which is a different scenario), but because a dealer is claiming the amount of the repair cost they had performed to a vehicle, which the vehicle owner has bought the service plan sold by the distributor of the brand.
3) Warranty will be raised against a vehicle, which will have identification number, known as VIN. This corresponds to the field Ext. Obj. No., with Obj Type VELO. Refer below:
However in equipment, it will have its own Equipment Number which is different from Ext. Obj. No. The VIN number is recognized only as description field in IE02. Refer below:
4) Warranty will have a 'validation/check' before it could proceed. For this particular scenario, it will be validated against the service contract number, which I believe will be tied to Equipment number instead of the VIN number (integration between SD-PM/CS).
5) The rest of the warranty claim process will happen after the plan<->vehicle relation has been validated (contract/plan exist,still valid within that day), which is not important in this discussion context.
