This function is used to enter warranty vouchers, created automatically as a result of sales transactions.

Different behavior can be implemented as a function of the target population, direct customers or resellers.

Different automatic processes can be developed, as a function of whether the product benefits from a warranty or not.

Also there are different integration mechanisms available according to whether they concern a product managed with serial number or not.

It is also possible to identify different behavior when the shipment is of the normal type or a loan.

The integration of the sales transactions generating the creation of a warranty voucher are described in the on-line help concerning the Warranty requests.

Several general setups interact at the level of warranty voucher management.

The Customer support general setup WARFLYLTI specifies the length of time that warranty vouchers are conserved in the warranty voucher function.
