Define Supplier Warranty Type Template

Explanation

The supplier warranty type template is used to create predefined supplier warranties for an object. Warranty conditions must be defined and then connected to the warranty type template, which is then used when connecting warranty types to objects in IFS Applications. Several warranty conditions can be connected to a warranty type template.

The warranty type can be valid for the following cost types: Material, Expenses, Fixed Price, Personnel, and External. By default, all these check boxes are selected for supplier warranties, which means that the supplier will pay for these costs when the warranty is valid.

When the Customer Order Connection check box is cleared, the supplier warranty dates will be calculated when the part is received into inventory. When the check box is selected, the supplier warranty dates will be calculated when the part is delivered to the customer.

If the Convert To Customer Warranty checkbox is selected, a customer warranty will be created having the same information as the supplier warranty. This customer warranty is generated when the part is received into inventory.

The warranty conditions IDs are selected from the List of Values. The minimum and maximum values can be changed or omitted.
