The General tab allows you to document the type of warranty, the supplier, cost, status, expiration date, and other details. Many of the fields in this tab have functions specific to the Warranty module. These fields are defined below:

Supplier |
The person or group that warranties the asset (i.e. supplier, manufacturer, 3rd party). |

Review Date |
The date the warranty is up for review or renewal. |
Mileage Coverage |
For a fleet item, this field allows you to indicate the mileage covered by the warranty period (i.e. 30,000 miles). Note: This field is only available if the Entity Type is a Fleet Vehicle, Fleet Component, or Fleet Subcomponent. |

For a fleet item, this field allows you to indicate the asset's odometer reading at the start of the warranty period. Note: This field is only available if the Entity Type is a Fleet Vehicle, Fleet Component, or Fleet Subcomponent. |

This field is calculated automatically by the system. It reflects the value in the Mileage Coverage field plus the value in the Starting Mileage field. This represents what the odometer reading will be at the end of the warranty period. Note: This field is only available if the Entity Type is a Fleet Vehicle, Fleet Component, or Fleet Subcomponent. |
