Warrantable
If this field has a check, the part may have a warranty on it. The removed part may need to be kept if replaced while the unit is under bumper-to-bumper warranty.
When you issue a warrantable part for a work order, the vendor ID is required. A determination is made as to whether you are issuing the part to replace a part that is still under warranty. Refer to Parts Failures, Warranty, and Expected Life.

If this field has a check, the part includes a core part that you must return to vendor for core credit. This field must have a check in order to generate a core claim when you issue a part. A check automatically displays in the Core credit field on the screen from which you issue the part. Not required for rebuildable items.
For a list of screens from which you can issue parts, refer to information for posting parts.

Re-useable
If this field has a check, the part may be used again.
Allow fractional quantity
If this field has a check, the part may be issued in fractional quantities, such as 100.25. Examples of parts that are often issued in fractional quantities include gravel, bulk fluids, and hose or pipe.
