Warranty |
The Warranty tab enables you to display and define bumper-to-bumper warranty information for components. If you pre-arrange extended warranties on components, you can also use this tab to specify multiple concurrent warranty periods.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can search on equipment ID, part ID/suffix, PM program class, SLA equipment category, assigned repair location ID, and operator ID/name, among other values. The list of searchable fields on the filter is extensive; use the scroll bar to view them all.
Note: Filtering data based on fuel/fluid type uses the information in the Supported fuel/fluid types screen group on the Codes tab.
The Primary Information screen supports department-level and location level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations to make changes or updates.
The field in the top section of this tab defines the data that displays.
Equipment ID
Identifier of the component currently selected in the grid or that you are defining. This field has a list box. The component year, manufacturer, and model display to the right of the ID.
When you insert a component with an asset category that supports automatic numbering and this field is blank, the system generates an equipment ID that follows the format specified in the Custom ID structure field on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Asset Categories screen. If the asset category does not support automatic numbering, the equipment ID is based on either part/location settings or system settings. If you specify an ID and the component’s asset category supports automatic numbering, the ID is not overwritten.
Whether an asset category supports automatic numbering is specified on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Asset Categories screen.
The Warranty information screen group in the bottom section of the tab defines the warranty information. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are optional.
If at least one row in the group indicates that a warranty is in effect, the component is considered to be under warranty, and the warranty status on new work orders is set appropriately. When a warranty claim is generated automatically, it uses the vendor ID on the warranty that is still in effect but closest to expiration. If a valid warranty is not found, the component is considered to not be covered by warranty.
Note: The data conversion to Release 5.7 transferred all existing component warranty settings to the first row in the group.
Control labels that are printed for parts issued on work orders include warranty work. For more information, go to control labels.

Vendor ID
Identifier of the vendor that provides warranty services for the component. This field has a list box.
Tip: If the warranty has expired, the vendor ID need not be active.
Vendor IDs are defined on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Vendors -> Primary Information screen.
Expiration date
Date that the warranty on the component expires.
Note: When you enter a vendor ID and the component has an in-service date, this field defaults to the in-service date plus the warranty duration specified on the More Info tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Equipment Types -> Primary Information screen.
Meter 1 expiration
If the component is under warranty and the warranty expiration is based on meter (in whole or in part), the meter 1 reading at which the warranty expires. This value may not be greater than the value in the Maximum meter value field on the Meter Info tab. This field is optional.
Note: When you enter a vendor ID and the component has an in-service date, this field defaults to the life meter value plus the warranty meter specified on the More Info tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Equipment Types -> Primary Information screen.
Deductible
Amount of the warranty’s deductible (if any).
Warranty type
The type of warranty.
