Manage Supplier Warranty Coverages Using File-Based Data Import

Oracle Fusion Cloud Maintenance provides an integrated asset supplier warranty solution for enterprise assets. You start here with defining warranty coverage templates. You can reuse the templates to model and translate the warranty terms that are extended by a warranty provider. The coverage defines the terms from the purchase of an asset or through the continued support of an existing asset through an extended warranty period.

In this release, you can create, update, and delete warranty coverage using a file-based data import (FBDI) process, Import Warranty Coverages.

The FBDI template provides tabs to define warranty coverage, covered items, meters, and repair transaction codes. The template includes detailed column descriptions and sample data for common use cases.

Now, users can incrementally define and update a warranty coverage, until the coverage is used to create its first asset contract or if the coverage has reached its end date.

Steps to Enable

Tips And Considerations

Here are a few tips when you create, update, or delete a warranty coverage:

  • Create Warranty Coverage Header: You can create a header if you know the duration and units of measure. However, it's a good practice to create a complete coverage that includes terms and conditions, applicable items and meters, and repair transaction codes.

  • Update Warranty Coverage: You can update a warranty coverage, including child resources, if the coverage has an asset contract or has reached its end date.

  • Delete a Warranty Coverage: You can delete a warranty coverage and its child resources only if it has an asset contract or has reached its end date.
