POS Update Legit Warranty Manufacture List
When you choose option "A" from the Standard Utility Menu (2), you will arrive at the following screen.
There is one multi-value field to fill out on this screen, with two columns
Column #1 is the Manufacturer's code, and column #2 is a description to go along with this code.
There is a build in program that prepares data in "tab delimited" format to submit to manufacturers to register warranties. Right now it will auto prepare data for any item on an invoice that falls into the "FT" category.
This process starts when you place the special codes that you want to track in the FT codes list by using option "S" from the Standard Utilities Menu (1). Any code in this list becomes a candidate trigger to place something in the Warranty report.
Now, when you add an item to a customer invoice, and that part matches one of those in the FT LIST, you are forced to "apply" this item to another on the invoice. For instance if you sold two cars on an invoice ( to a company), and then added "EXTWAR" (extended warranty) to the invoice. If "EXTWAR" was on the FT LIST, they you would have to apply this item to one of the above cars.
Since "EXTWAR" is also an inventory part, it must have a VENDOR CODE also (i.e "VOLKS CAN", "GM", "FORD" etc etc).
So, in column #1 of this warranty control screen, you place "VOLKS CAN" as one of the vendors.
Now, when this invoice is finally processed the system will look at item (part number) "EXTWAR", retrieve the vendor code from the inventory file, and then look to see if the VENDOR CODE is in your warranty list. If it is, then it will prepare the data including description, pricing of the warranty item as well as the item being covered by the warranty.
