Component Warranties |
The Component Warranties tab enables you to define information about the equipment unit’s component warranties. You can track extended warranties on items such as engines or transmissions. If you pre-arrange extended warranties on equipment units, you can also use this tab to specify multiple concurrent warranty periods.
Information on this tab ties back to the Data -> Shop Activity -> Work Order Center screen when work is performed on components whose individual warranties are tracked in the system. Users are aware that work on the component is covered by warranty.
