Understanding Product Registration

You can use the Product Registration Entry program (P17051) to update or add equipment records.

You can use the Speed Registration Entry program (P1705) to enter equipment records quickly. For example, if you sell bike helmets, you do not have to create equipment records for each bike helmet that you sell. But you can include product registration cards with each helmet, and customers can send you product and customer information.

You can enter information in the tab header fields that are default entry values which apply to multiple product registration entries. For example, you can enter product information on the Product Defaults tab once, and enter multiple site and owner numbers. As you create multiple product registration entries, the system adds the entries to the detail area.

Conversely, if you would like to create multiple product registration entries for a single customer, you can enter the customer information once, and then enter multiple items and branches.

You can only use the Quick Product Registration form to enter customer and product information. To review equipment entries, you must inquire using the Work With Equipment Master program (P1701).

Note: You can enter serial number, product, and customer information directly into the detail area without entering customer or product information in the tab header area. If you leave the fields in the tab headers blank and enter the customer and product information in the first line, the system uses these values to populate the detail rows that follow.

The Speed Registration Program (P1705) also uses some processing options for the Equipment Master Revisions Program (P1702).

See Setting Processing Options for the Equipment Master Revisions Program (P1702) (Release 9.2 Update).
