Calculate Warranty Dates

Explanation

This activity is used to calculate warranty dates for the supplier warranty that is connected to the serial. Once the start date of the warranty is specified, the system will calculate the warranty end date based on the given start date, minimum value, maximum value and time unit of the warranty condition.

Prerequisites

• The serial must have been created.
• A supplier warranty with a valid warranty condition must have been created for the serial. For more information, refer to the activity Enter and Maintain Supplier Warranties.
• The minimum and maximum validity period as well as a valid time unit must have been registered on the supplier warranty. Note that the minimum value is required to calculate the Valid From date and the maximum value is required to calculate the Valid To date.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, valid warranty dates are registered on the serial.
