ERP for Insurance Claims in Automobile Industries

ERP for Insurance Claims in Automobile Industries

In automobile industry, we often come across a scenario where a damaged vehicle comes to the service center for repair / service. If the damaged vehicle is insured, then the repair cost is either shared by Customer and Insurance Company or borne by insurance company entirely.

Suppose the repair cost is 1, 00,000 INR for the vehicle, then the invoice will be raised against the customer but since the damaged vehicle is insured, the customer will only pay partial amount say 40,000 INR whereas the remaining balance amount will paid by Insurance Company.

Since invoice is raised against the actual customer 60,000 INR amount is still on the debit side. Now, we have to move this balance from Customer to Insurance Company. For this we will have to configure Insurance Company as customer in Sage 300.

This can be done with the help of Adjustment entry by using some clearing account and then passing the Debit note entry against insurance company.

Below mentioned are GL effects entries of the entries.

AR Invoice Entry

AR Receipt Entry

AR Adjustment Entry

Debit Note

But Before passing this debit note as per protocol, many check points are there which needs to be verified.

Hence, we have developed a utility which will automatically create the debit note against the particular Insurance Company once all those check points are satisfied. Let’s us first discuss how the configurations and how entry will be recorded in Sage 300, ERP for Insurance Claims in Automobile Industry.
