Hi! We are trying to reduce efforts on maintaining the warranty information at the equipment level. The solution we are attempting at is to create a functional location with warranty start date, warranty master and setting the inherit and pass on indicator. We also assign an equipment to the functional location. However, that equipment has no warranty data set up.

When I create a service order with the functional location entered, the warranty check kicks in.

However, when I create a service order with the equipment, the warranty check does not happen even though the FLoc is determined and populated automatically.

The check on the equipment only works if I also maintain the warranty start date and inherit indicator.

I did find this example http://www.sap-img.com/plant/pass-on-and-inherit-warranty.htm, but I just want to confirm that this is really how standard works and that it is not a bug.

Cheers!
