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 Cloud. 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 options are enabled for supplier warranties, which means that the supplier will pay for these costs when the warranty is valid.

When the Customer Order Connection option is disabled, the supplier warranty dates will be calculated when the part is received into inventory. When the option is enabled, the supplier warranty dates will be calculated when the part is delivered to the customer.

If the Convert To Customer Warranty option is enabled, 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.

If a Supplier Warranty Type Template needs to be enabled for use in Service, with the Use in Service toggle, it allows you to define warranties in Models and Service Objects using that template. When this template is used in Service, the Price Rule will be utilized for pricing purposes instead of the Cost Types.
