Warranties configuration

Jus' couldn't wait to post configuration of warranties. Let me tell you basics of warranty. Most of the Discreet manufacturing company offer warranty from the date of delivery or from the date of commissioning. In most of the cases commissioning is done after delivery. So, warranty counter is set at delivery and countdown begins from the time of delivery or let’s says from the time you assign warranty date to the equipment or warranty counter to the equipment.
In my previous post I have explained you about how warranty is linked with serial number and equipment and how to configure serial number for automatic creation of equipment and make it a mandatory field at delivery etc.
In this post you will learn to verify warranty validity, add warranty view in equipment master, add data management field to Equipment master etc.
