Warranty Area Setup

In order to enable Warranty Integration for an area within a division, the company and division-level settings to Enable Warranty Integration must first be assigned.

Additionally, verify that all the required fields are populated on the Setup > Area > General tab. Required fields are every field but Address 2 orFax. If there is an empty field, the area (and subsequently all the jobs in the area), will not transfer to BMT Warranty.

To enable Warranty Integration for an area:

1. From the Setup menu, selectAreas.

2. Double click the appropriate area to edit.

3. • Or, highlight its row and click the Edit Area Information icon.

3. In the Area Information dialog, click the Warranty tab.

4. Check the Warranty Enabled checkbox, which will enable the remaining Connection Settings fields:

1. • The time zone for the area can be assigned to a different time zone than the division and/or company.

   • The default password is assigned to new homeowners created in WMS for that area. This password overrides the division's and company's default password. There is a hierarchy for passwords: company (always the default password for warranty users in BMT Warranty), division (always the default password for suppliers in BMT Warranty), and area (always the default homeowner passwords in BMT Warranty). Setting a password at a particular level will set the password for that type of user. After initial login into Warranty with the default password assigned here, a user can change his/her password.

   • The Short Name field identifies the community or area in BMT Warranty. (Defaults to the current sales code for the area.)

5. Click the OK button in the Area Information dialog.

6. Click Save in the Areas toolbar.
