Add a Warranty After a Purchase

A customer may decide to purchase a warranty after purchasing an item. For example, the item may have been purchased as a gift and the recipient would like to purchase a warranty for the item. Perhaps the customer has reconsidered the warranty option and returns to the store later to purchase the warranty. You can also add a warranty plan in the current transaction if the customer declines the warranty at first and reconsiders the decision before the transaction is tendered.

To add a warranty after a purchase:

1. Click Extended Transaction in the Register Sale screen.
