· 4th Claim Type (Warranty Extension) – This would require edit changes based on an additional claim type. Also, ServicePower will need to create logic to store percentage xxxx-up at a servicer level based on the 4th claim type.
· Labor reimbursement driven by Part – ServicePower will need a place to store the labor override at the part line level. The claim edit validation will need to be changed to use the override from the part file.
· Labor rate matrix visible to the servicer from the claim form – Design a popup from Repair Category that would allow the servicer to see the various rates based on the Repair Category selected.
Allow document attachments to claims – Modify and merge the existing document uploading functionality with the claim form. Create a button that would allow a servicer to select a document type that would be uploaded and attached. Create storage structure to retrieve and display documents from the claim form. Create an edit to validate the existence of an uploaded document. Create a method to allow the verification of an uploaded document by MDEA.
