Contract Line Item Number Warranty Cost Schedule Line Layout (CWS)

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

You cannot process CLIN Warranty Cost Schedule Line Types unless Item and Project CLIN Product information exists.

This Line Type is required if the Warranty Cost Calculation Code is C (Cost Schedule). Otherwise, the record is 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 Warranty Unit Cost Amount can be updated if values exist for the Start Date and End Date.

If the End Date values exist, Costpoint updates 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 WARR_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 WARR_UNIT_CST_AMT
04/01/2006 12/31/2006 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 WARR_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 on the Manage CLIN Information screen in Costpoint Project Setup. 

Note: The application uses default values 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.
