When you set up serialized inventory items, you have the option to add a warranty to the item. Warranty information is set up on the Serial Numbers tab of the Maintain Inventory Items window. The steps below guide you through setting up a serialized inventory item with a warranty.

To set up and define a serialized inventory item with a warranty

  1. Click the Inventory Items navigation aid on the Inventory & Services Navigation Center and select New Inventory Item.
  2. Enter an ID for the item, and select either Serialized Stock item or Serialized Assembly as the item class.

  3. Fill out the item information.

    If this is a serialized stock item, skip to step 6.

  4. For a serialized assembly item, select the Bill of Materials tab. Don't click Save; saving the item at this point will cause it to become a stock-item type.
  5. Select item IDs for existing stock items or assemblies only, and enter the quantity. Press ENTER. Do this for each item that makes up the assembly.
  6. Select the Serial Numbers tab. To set up a warranty, select the This item is covered under a warranty check box. Then enter a warranty period in terms of either days, months, or years.
  7. When you're finished entering the serialized item, click Save.
