Supplement
Definition of a supplement.
Definition
A supplement is a change or addition made to the Estimate or Appraisal after it has been created by an ICBC estimator.
Example
The original Estimate or Appraisal requires that an A00 Suffix Identification (ID) be created. After the Estimate or Appraisal has been created, a change that is made to this is known as a supplement and modifies the Suffix ID from A00 to A01.Supplements occurring during estimates are a result of, but not limited to:
- damage to a vehicle part
- a price correction
- refinish time
- labour time, and/or
- labour rate.
Note: Every reasonable effort must be made by the repair facility to identify all visible damage to the vehicle, including paint, on the initial supplement. Any subsequent supplement must be made for hidden damages only.
