Linked to the repair
A removed part is linked to the appliance, the original ticket and the replacement the technician fitted, so a warranty claim has its evidence.

In detail
What Defective Parts & Warranty Returns does
Part of Replenishment, Receipts & Returns in Inventory Management. Keep shortages, supplier deliveries and defective returns visible until each has a recorded outcome.
Quarantined, not mixed in
Defective returns stay in quarantine, separate from available stock, until an authorised decision is recorded.
Followed to an outcome
Collection, inspection, supplier claim and the final repair, credit or disposal decision are tracked, so no return is left open indefinitely.
