Calculate Warranty Dates
Explanation
This activity is used to calculate warranty dates for the supplier warranty
that is connected to the serial. Once the start date of the warranty is
specified, the system will calculate the warranty end date based on the given
start date, minimum value, maximum value and time unit of the warranty condition.
Prerequisites
- The serial must have been created.
- A supplier warranty with a valid warranty
condition must have been created for the serial. For more information,
refer to the activity

- The minimum and maximum validity period as well as
a valid time unit must have been registered on the supplier warranty. Note
that the minimum value is required to calculate the Valid From date
and the maximum value is required to calculate the Valid To date.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, valid warranty dates are
registered on the serial.
