marked in blue will alert a Samsung representative to look at the

Waiting for repair The most common delay reason

and used when waiting for the parts you ordered.

Parts Backordered / not available This alerts

Samsungs parts department that the part needed is not
available and they need to take action (ie. Give an ETA or
exchange)

Account on credit hold you have reached your

parts credit limit and need Samsung to take action (ie.
Increase your parts credit)

Wrong / Defective parts received The repair is

delayed because Samsung sent a wrong or defective part
and Samsung should take action.

Tech support needed This will alert Samsungs

tech support dept that they need to take action.

Customer not available Cant get in touch with

completion. This can happen for multiple

reasons. When this option is selected the

service call with customer.

Analytical Service Tracking Ratio - This is the score Samsung uses to give you service referrals. The higher the score
the higher up you go on the referral list. If ANY of the requirements are not met the ticket will fail. These are the
requirements:
1. After receiving the service call, save the ticket to CONFIRMED status (with a schedule date/time) OR save the ticket to
PENDING status (with a reason) with in 2 Business days of receiving the service call.
2. Once saved into CONFIRMED with a schedule date/time, the ticket MUST be saved into COMPLETE status within 24
hours of the schedule date passing. (ie. If the schedule date is 7/10/09 13:00, the ticket must be saved to complete status by
7/11/09 12:59 or it will fail)
3. Once ticket is saved into COMPLETE status, the warranty bill must be submitted within 3 Business Days.

Tips for getting a good ASTR score

Use the Pending status A ticket cant fail ASTR if its in pending status. The waiting for repair reason is very useful in this
regard.
Change the schedule date You can change the schedule as many times as you want with no penalty. Just NEVER let it age
past 24 hours (Requirement 2). If its coming close and the repair isn't done just change it to a later date!
Check back often Going over your tickets daily will help you immensely. Even a few minutes a day will give you a better
idea of what needs to be done then checking every other day.
Just submit The warranty bill doesn't have to be approved to satisfy the 3 rd requirement. It only needs to be submitted.
Once the ticket is complete send in that warranty claim ASAP!
