PRODUCT WARRANTY COST SCHEDULE (PWS)

Product Warranty Cost Schedule Line Layout

The Product Warranty Cost Schedule (PROD_WARR_CST_SCH) table stores information used to calculate the warranty costs.

You cannot process Product Warranty Cost Schedule Line Types unless information from the Item, Item Product, and Product Price Catalog tables (or input files for new records) exists.

This Line Type is required if the Warranty Cost Calculation Code is "C" (Cost Schedule).   Otherwise, the record will be rejected.

There cannot be any gaps in the date range, and each new date range must not overlap any existing rows.  Each new row must have a start date one day later than the latest end date (or earlier than all existing start dates). 

The Unit Cost Amount can be updated if values exist for the Start Date and End Date fields.

If the End Date value exists, the system will update the existing End Date value by changing the current End Date value to one day before the provided Start Date.

For example, if a row currently exists with the following values:

START_DT

END_DT

UNIT_CST_AMT

01/01/2006

12/31/2007

516.97

 

A line is encountered in the input file with the following values:

START_DT

END_DT

UNIT_CST_AMT

04/01/2006

12/31/2007

549.16

 

The End Date of the existing row will be modified and a new row will be inserted.  The two rows will contain the following values:

START_DT

END_DT

UNIT_CST_AMT

01/01/2006

03/31/2006

516.97

04/01/2006

12/31/2007

549.16

 

You can view or update the information stored in this table in the Set Up Product Price Catalogs screen (Warranty Information subtask) in Costpoint Product Definition.

The application uses defaults for INSERTS ONLY if the input file field value is not provided.  The exception is MODIFIED_BY, which is updated using the default value if no value is provided.
