Warranty Basics

Introduction to warranty agreements

In Enterprise Asset Management, you can set up warranty terms that can be connected to an object or an object type. Warranty terms are created for a specific period. Warranty can be set up to provide full coverage or partial coverage, and you can set up terms to relate to hours, expenses, and items. Furthermore, you can also define specific items that are not covered by the warranty.

First step is to set up the vendor warranty agreements that you may have on your equipment, which is described in this section. Next, you attach warranty agreements to objects or object types, which is described in the following section. Vendor warranty agreements are only used for information purposes. If vendor warranty is set up on the object, you can see the warranty coverage period on the object.
