* Extraction of the claim information required for validation
* Individual assessment of each claim within the batch
* Continued processing of remaining claims where an individual claim cannot be processed
Claim Validation Scope:
* Validation of product/part information against IFS Assyst
* Validation of applicable customer information
* Validation of claim dates against available warranty information
* Identification of missing or invalid information that prevents claim processing
* Identification of potential duplicate claims using available claim attributes
Claim Creation Scope:
* Creation of eligible warranty claims as incidents in IFS Assyst

**Known Limitations & Edge Cases**
The following processing constraints and guardrails apply to this release:
* Claims are assessed using the product, customer, warranty, and claim information available to the Digital Worker.
* Claims with missing or invalid information required for validation do not progress to claim creation.
* Claims outside the applicable warranty period are not processed as valid warranty claims.
* Potential duplicates are identified using the configured matching criteria and surfaced with the related existing claim reference.
* Claims are processed individually, allowing the remaining claims in a batch to continue if a specific claim cannot be processed.
In addition, Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) interactions allow users to approve all valid claims, reject the batch, or approve selected claims before incidents are created.
