Hi,

I don't know th warranty functionality that well but if nobody else is answering your query I thought that I might at least TRY to help?

In the strict English terminology this sounds like the following

"Pass on warranty" sounds like the warranty is transferred from the current owner of the item to a new owner (i.e. passing it on to the new owner)

"Inherit warranty" sounds like it is the new owner receiving the warranty (i.e. inherriting it) from the previous owner?

Does this seem to fit at all with what you wanted?

Sorry i can't be much more helpful.

Hi Steve,

Thanks a lot for supporting the SDN Community people in a professional manner continuously.

Though i got some material from SAP library as follows, I find difficult to understand the exact difference between the two.

Pass on warranty

You can also set the indicator Pass on warranty when you create a master warranty. If the indicator is set in the master warranty, it is automatically copied when you enter the master warranty in the technical object. This indicator specifies whether the master warranty of the technical object should be passed on to the technical objects lower down in the hierarchy. If this indicator is set, both the warranties of the object being checked and those of the superior technical objects in the hierarchy are displayed in a list during the warranty check. The system searches for the next-highest equipment and the next-highest functional location for which the indicator Pass on warranty is set, and to which a master warranty or a warranty period is assigned. A maximum of two higher technical objects per warranty type are displayed.

Inherit warranty

This indicator specifies whether the master warranty or the warranty period can or cannot be inherited from the next-highest technical object in the hierarchy level. If the indicator is set, both the warranties that have been passed on and the warranties for the technical object are displayed in a list for the warranty check. If the indicator is not set, only the warranties for the technical object are displayed.

If you get some examples from somewhere,please let me know sothat it will be useful to me and SDN.
