Message when a part is transferred
If this field has a check, printed messages are sent to locations when certain part transfer activities occur. The messages are sent only to location IDs that have information in the Printer ID field on the Message Printer tab of the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Locations -> Primary Information screen.
The following activities generate messages:
Transfers of parts with the status REQUEST: A message is sent to the location in the From location ID field ( Basic Info tab of the Data -> Parts Activity -> Stock Transfers screen).

Message when part under warranty is replaced
If this field has a check, a message displays when a part is issued to a work order to replace a part that is under warranty or still within its expected life. If the part is replacing a part still under warranty, FASuite makes an entry in the Warranty Parts Failure (WAR_FAIL) table. The message text is also automatically added to the Comments field on the Comments tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Work Order Center screen.

Maximum order price deviation percentage
Maximum percentage by which an order price for a part can differ from the previous order price without generating a warning message. This value applies only if there is a check in the Message when part order price out of range from previous order price field.
