The Master Codes window contains three panes: Material Class Codes Pane, Material List Pane, and Default Part Warranty Pane.
Material Class Codes Pane
The Material Class Codes pane on the left shows a tree view of the material classification codes, which are created and maintained in the Classification Codes window. Use this pane to select the classification codes of the materials shown in the Material List pane. When this pane is displayed, it shows the selection(s) that you made the last time you used this window. A check mark in a square indicates those codes that are selected, while an empty square indicates those that can be selected. After changing the selections, retrieving data, and then save. The system will remember what you selected and will show the same selections the next time the pane is displayed.
Material List Pane
The Material List pane shows all material master codes that have the classification code(s) selected in the Material Class Codes pane. The master code name, its associated classification code, and the primary units for the master code are required entries.
Default Part Warranty Pane
The Default Part Warranty pane shows the warranty for the item selected in the Material List pane. The warranty can be configured to expire after a certain number of miles, days, or either miles or days. This is selected from a drop-down list in the Warranty Rule column. After setting the warranty rule and saving, if you need to change the value for the rule (for example, change the number of miles to 5000 from 3000), use the Define Argument command. This command is found by right-clicking the record showing the warranty.
Parts warranties are used in the Material tab of the Progress window in the Fleet Management module. When a Material Day Card is approved and the material has active warranties, a message appears asking if you want to attach the warranties to the repair order. If you click Yes, then the material's warranties are added to the repair order shown in the Warranty tab of the Progress window. The warranties are set to begin at the time when the material Day Card is approved, but these parameters can be edited (or any warranty deleted) in the Warranty tab.
