Hi,

If you hav a Car and now if you have created a CAR as an equipment and any major part of Car like engine if you have created engine as an eqpt then Car would be a superior eqpt for engine , thus engine is installed in Car ,.. now if both have same warranty details then u can maintain warranty details for CAR and pass on the same to Engine .thus here engine would inherit the warranty from CAR ..,

It would work in this way ...You can maintain warranty details for CAR like start date , Master warranty & tick pass on warranty .., now in engine just enter the start date , tick inhert warranty ..and on creating Maintenance Order on Engine .. if it is in warranty u would get a warranty pop up

It is not working in our SAP ERP ECC system. I maintain warranty start and end date in functional location (FLOC) 1. However the subordinate FLOC 1-010 is not inheriting the data from FLOC 1. The aim would be to inherit it to subordinate FLOC 1-010 and all the equipments below. What needs to be maintained in order make the warranty inheritence work? Are the any other prerequisities beside the two checkbox in the FLOC master data (inheritWarranty/ pass on warranty)?

Thanks, Deborah

In SAP PM (Plant Maintenance), there are functionalities to handle the inheritance and pass on of warranties for equipment. Here's an explanation of how these processes work:

1. Inheriting Warranty:

- When you create a new equipment master record, you have the option to inherit warranty information from its higher-level equipment or functional location.

- If the higher-level equipment or functional location has a warranty assigned, you can choose to automatically copy that warranty to the new equipment.

- By inheriting the warranty, the warranty start and end dates, warranty type, and other relevant warranty information will be copied to the new equipment.

2. Passing on Warranty:

- Sometimes, equipment may be replaced or upgraded, and you need to transfer the remaining warranty from the old equipment to the new one.

- To pass on the warranty, you can perform the following steps:

a. Create a new equipment master record for the replacement equipment.

b. In the old equipment's master record, go to the Warranty tab and mark the warranty as "Transferred."

c. Enter the reference equipment number of the new equipment to which the warranty is being passed on.

d. Save the changes.

- By performing these steps, the warranty of the old equipment will be marked as transferred, and the new equipment will inherit the remaining warranty period and relevant warranty details.
