In addition to new spare parts, Scania offers a broad range of reconditioned components, exchange components for trucks, buses and industrial and marine engines.
Exchange components have the same warranty as other spare parts.
This document provides information on how the Exchange programme works and
the requirements Scania has for returned cores.
Upon delivery of an exchange component, a charge is levied for the exchange component and the core. Cores are returned to Splitpoint, which inspects each core and
determines whether full reimbursement should be paid or if the amount should be reduced.
Cores are sometimes called return units. A core can be an exchange core or a warranty core.
The Exchange Catalogue in Scania Multi contains most exchange components.
General
Ordering exchange components
Exchange components are ordered from the Scania Order Office the same way as
other spare parts. Orders for spare parts and exchange components can be placed on
the same order.
Invoicing
An exchange component and core are invoiced on the same invoice as other spare
parts. The prices of the exchange component and core are found in the parts list. The
core price is a net price without discounts. The core price is determined by how fit a
core is for reconditioning and may change if the conditions for reconditioning
change.
Price changes for cores are notified 3 months before they are introduced.
Each core has its own identity; a core part number that differs from that of the exchange component. The core number is usually created by adding the number 1 in
front of the exchange component part number.
Example:
Exchange component 570 xxx.
Core 1 570 xxx.
Warranty cores
Components returned under warranty that are part of the Exchange programme but
have not been sent to the Warranty department are accepted as cores and can be sent
to Splitpoint like other cores.

Identification and cleaning
A core that is cleaned but not washed resists corrosion better than a washed core.
To facilitate core handling at Splitpoint and during the reconditioning process, the
core must be cleaned, but normally not washed. The cores must always be drained of
oil or other fluid.
As the type plate, part number or other identification must be easy to read, the area
for identification must be cleaned.
Inspection
Before the core is sent back, it must be inspected to ensure it fulfils Scania's requirements for exchange cores.
Address for returning cores from Sweden, Finland and Estonia:
Kuehne + Nagel AB
Västra Bravikenvägen 10, Box 934
S-60119 - Norrköping

Goods marking
Return of exchange cores
Each package (pallet, engine, etc) must have a completely filled-in goods label, part
number 1 715 910, affixed to the outside of the package. The return packing lists
(RPLs) contained in the pallet must be listed on the goods label.
A return packing list must be included when returning cores. The return packing list
is created in the web application CORE. Alternatively a return packing list, part
number 1 584 567, can be filled in manually and used. The same information on the
printed list can also be used. Several units with the same part number can be written
on one line, but then it is no longer possible to identify an individual unit in the event
of credit reduction. Each engine must be accompanied by a separate return packing
list. The engine serial number must also be listed on the return packing list. If possible, distance driven (km) must also be indicated.
For a warranty core, the claim number must be specified on the return packing list.
Dealers with branch dealerships who send in cores on behalf of these dealerships
must indicate the dealership customer number on the return packing list.
Return of exchange cores
The return packing list must be placed in a plastic cover and secured to the inside of
the package. If the delivery is made up of several packages/pallets, a return packing
333 256
list must be written for each package. In each pallet there must be one (or more) return packing list(s) detailing the contents of the pallet and nothing more.
A copy of the return packing list must be submitted to the carrier as documentation
for clearing customs.
Engines must be returned on the Exchange programme's transport pallet for engines.
For reasons of safety, the engines must be strapped and firmly secured to the pallet.
All apertures must be covered to prevent the entry of contaminants. Plastic covers
and plastic plugs should be used for this. Strong tape can also be used to cover the
apertures.
Oil and coolant must be drained and the engine must be covered with plastic to minimise corrosion damage.
Crankshafts, gearboxes, planetary gears
Crankshafts, gearboxes, planetary gears as well as other cores with special packaging
must be returned in their Exchange programme packaging.
The core should be secured to prevent the core or the packaging from being damaged.
Do not use any plastic packaging inside wood packaging.
Return packaging
Unit injectors
Unit injectors must be packed in exchange packaging. For PDEs (Bosch), the questions on the packaging must also be answered.
General
Cores must be packed in pallets to prevent damage during transport. In pallets, separator inserts should be used between each layer. Heavy cores must not be placed on
top of lighter cores.
Delivery remarks regarding the exchange component must be registered in RIDE,
which is also used for handling core credit.
Remarks regarding delivery, invoice or order errors must be made to the Order department (Supply Control, SPC).
Warranty claims
Warranty claims are made to the Warranty department the same way as for other
spare parts. All contacts with the customer are handled by the Warranty department.
Cores for approved claims that have not been sent to the Warranty department can be
sent to Splitpoint as warranty cores with a hanging label intended for this purpose.
After an inspection at Splitpoint, credit is paid for the core. Special damage codes apply.
Credit for cores
Exchange component claims
Returned cores are inspected at Splitpoint. Any damage, flaws or incorrect part numbers are registered in the core program, CORE. Credit is paid out after registration is
completed in CORE.
The general requirements apply to all cores. Certain cores are also subject to supplementary requirements. In order for full credit to be paid out, the core must fulfil the
requirements. If the requirements are not fulfilled, reduced or no credit is paid. There
must be a balance between purchased exchange components and returned cores. If
the number of cores returned is greater than the number of exchange components purchased, return of the overpaid credit will be required.
Supplementary requirements and examples of deductions for damage
Engines
The engine serial number and part number must be indicated on the hanging label and
return packing list. The engine core must be delivered on an engine pallet. The engine
core must be cleaned.
