Extended Warranty Maintenance

The Warranty Maintenance window allows you to keep a listing of various warranty information you can choose when you are entering a new deal. The data you enter on this screen will be used to pre-fill other fields with the appropriate numbers when setting up and processing deals. Instead of entering the warranty information separately on each screen, you simply choose a warranty from the list that you set up here.

You can access the Warranty Maintenance screen from the main screen when processing a deal. The button is available under the Process Deal tab on the right-hand side of the screen and under the Financial tab at the top. When you choose a warranty this way, the deal being processed will be updated with the selected warranty information.

You can also access the Warranty Maintenance screen by clicking the Maintenance menu and selecting Warranties from the pull-down menu.

The software will display a listing of available warranties. From this screen you may delete a warranty, add a new warranty, or edit and existing one.

Deleting a Warranty From The Listing

Click on a warranty in the listing to highlight and select it. Click the Delete Warr button to delete the selected warranty.

Adding a Warranty To The Listing

Click the Add Warr button. The software will add a blank line to the end of the displayed listing. Enter the appropriate warranty information.

The following fields are available in the warranty listings:

• Company: This is the name of the company providing the warranty.
• Plan Name: This is the name of the warranty plan itself. The information in this field will be displayed in other screens so you can select from the different warranty plans when processing a deal.
