Add Fixed and Open-Ended Coverage to Sales Orders

Test Your Set Up
- 
               Sign into Order Management, then create a sales order. 
- 
               On the catalog line, search for the item, then click Add. Field Value Select Item PTO54222 
- 
               On the catalog line, search for the item. Field Value Select Item Fixed Extended Warranty for Standard Desktop 
- 
               Wait for the search to finish, then notice that the catalog line displays 5 Year as a read-only value. 
- 
               Click Select Covered Item, select the order line to cover, then click Add. 
- 
               Verify that you can't edit the Duration or Period. 
- 
               On the catalog line, search for the item. Field Value Select Item Open-Ended Extended Warranty for Standard Desktop 
- 
               Wait for the search to finish, then notice that the catalog line displays two empty fields, and that you must set them before you continue. If you don't, then Order Management displays an error. An open-ended coverage item is similar to a variable coverage item, except Order Management displays the default values for Duration and Period on the catalog line for a variable coverage item, and doesn't display any values for an open-ended coverage item. The Order Entry Specialist must set these values for an open-ended coverage item. 
- 
               Set the values on the catalog line. Attribute Value Duration 1 Period Day 
- 
               Click Select Covered Item, select the order line to cover, then click Add. 
- 
               Verify that the coverage order line for the open-ended coverage doesn't contain prices. You didn't set up a charge for Day, so no pricing will display, and you can't submit the sales order.
