Summary of change
Revisions have been made to the topic, Body repair material allowances, to provide more clarity surrounding the circumstances where the participant can apply the additional material allowance, when applicable. As well, there is no longer a need to supply an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) repair procedure for clips when submitting additional material allowances.
The changes are intended to remove supplement approval delays. Participants can continue with repairs when the parts can be justified with documentation and the REQUIRES REVIEW process is not required.
A new topic, Add the additional materials allowance to an estimate, has been added to provide guidance regarding how allowances for additional materials are applied to an estimate.
