Auto Verification System
Overview
The auto verification system automatically validates claims/requests based on serial number validation rules. This system processes claims/requests instantly and assigns one of three statuses, significantly reducing manual review time for straightforward cases while ensuring proper validation for complex situations.
Note: The auto verification system focuses specifically on serial number validation and duplicate claim prevention. Other verification aspects may still require manual review.
How Auto Verification Works
The system follows a specific validation sequence for each claim:
- Serial Number Submission: Customer submits a claim with their serial/imei number
- Promotion Validation: System checks if the promotion requires serial validation
- Serial Number Check: Validates the serial/imei number against the approved list
- Duplicate Detection: Checks if the serial/imei number has already been claimed
- Status Assignment: Automatically assigns one of three statuses
- Database Update: Records the verification result for tracking
This entire process happens in real-time, typically within seconds of claim submission.
Verification Status Types
The system assigns one of three statuses to each claim:
Status: Good
You can safely approve claims/requests with this status:
- No serial validation required: The promotion doesn't have a predefined list of valid serial/imei numbers
- Valid serial number: The submitted serial number exists in the promotion's approved list and hasn't been claimed before
Claims/requests with the Good status you can safely bulk approve once your team is ready to process them.
Status: Check
Claims require manual review when:
- Serial not in list: The submitted serial/imei number is not found in the promotion's valid serials list
- System errors: Technical issues occur during the verification process
- Pending validation: Serial numbers may be uploaded to the system later
Check status claims/requests should be manually reviewed by your team.
Status: Bad
Claims/requests get the bad status when:
- Duplicate claim: The serial/imei number has already been used for a previous claim
- Serial number abuse: Attempts to use the same serial number multiple times
Bad status claims/requests should be rejected to prevent fraud and duplicate processing.
Serial Number Validation Logic
The system's validation approach depends on how the promotion is configured:
Promotions Without Serial Validation
If a promotion doesn't have any valid serial/imei numbers defined in the system:
- All claims/requests are automatically assigned Good status
- No serial/imei number validation is performed
Promotions With Serial Validation
If a promotion has a predefined list of valid serial/imei numbers:
- Each submitted serial/imei number is checked against the approved list
- Only serial numbers in the list are marked as Good
- Unknown serial numbers are marked as Check
- Duplicate serial numbers are marked as Bad
Rechecking Serial Numbers
The system supports rechecking serial numbers for existing claims/requests, which is useful when:
Individual Recheck
You can recheck a single claim's serial number:
- Re-verify the serial number against the promotion's valid serials
- Update the claim's auto-approval status (GOOD, CHECK, or BAD)
- Useful when correcting data entry errors or verifying specific claims
- Available through the claim management interface
Bulk Recheck
You can recheck multiple claims/requests simultaneously:
- Process multiple claims at once for efficiency
- Useful when new serial numbers are added to the system
- Updates all claim statuses based on current validation rules
- Provides detailed results for each processed claim
- Available through the bulk actions menu
Tip: Rechecking is particularly useful after uploading new serial numbers to a promotion. Claims that were previously marked as Check may be updated to Good if their serial numbers are now in the valid list.
Best Practices
To maximize the effectiveness of auto check statuses:
Serial Number Management
- Upload valid serial numbers before launching promotions
- Ensure serial/imei number lists are accurate and up-to-date
- Use consistent formatting for serial/imei numbers
- Keep as much serial/imei numbers in the database as possible
Monitoring and Maintenance
- Regularly review Check status claims/requests for patterns
- Monitor rejection rates to identify potential issues
- Update serial/imei number lists as new valid numbers become available
- Use batch processing to clear pending claims/requests efficiently
Customer Communication
- Clearly communicate serial/imei numbers requirements to customers
- Provide guidance on where to find valid serial numbers
- Set expectations for verification timeframes
- Offer support for customers with verification issues
