Associate warranty documents with specific pieces of equipment or with other equipment. Define warranty terms based on equipment usage or by date.
One or more warranty coverage records may be established for a piece of equipment for tracking purposes to ensure that stipulations of the warranty are adhered to both internally and externally. In general, there are two types of warranty coverage records that can be tracked for equipment: calendar-based and usage-based. Warranty coverage records can be associated with an asset, position, or system.
Calendar-based coverage records require a duration value expressed in days. The start and expiration of this type of warranty for a given piece of equipment is expressed in terms of calendar dates. Usage-based warranty coverage records require a duration value expressed in some unit of measure other than days. The warranty’s unit of measure has to be defined as a logical meter for the equipment. The start and expiration of this type of warranty for a given piece of equipment is expressed in terms of usage.
If you are using the COVDURUP installation parameter, you may modify the Duration field of any warranty coverage record.
If you are using the COVDUPAC installation parameter, equipment can only have one active warranty coverage at any given time.
