This screen maps WMS Purchasing Activities in a 1:1 relationship to specialties found in BMT Warranty. The intention for mapping purchasing activities to specialties is so that a default supplier can be assigned as the supplier of issue in Warranty. The supplier selection can be changed in BMT Warranty as needed.
In BMT Warranty, specialities are created and edited in the Our Company tab> Knowledge Base > Specialties. Begin by setting up the specialties in BMT Warranty, then bring them into WMS for mapping. It is recommended to have the specialties list final before performing the mapping. Any time a new specialty is added in BMT Warranty, import the specialty into WMS and map it using these instructions. Existing mappings will not be affected.
Only suppliers that are Warranty-enabled in the Setup > Suppliers screen can be assigned to work orders in BMT Warranty, otherwise the default supplier will be blank in BMT Warranty.
From the Warranty menu, select Map Specialties to Purchasing Activities.
Perform the import any time a new specialty is added in BMT Warranty so it can be mapped.
From the Warranty menu, select Map Specialties to Purchasing Activities.
Specialties from the Warranty Management application are listed on the left side of the screen.
WMS Purchasing activities are listed on the right side, along with specialities that have been mapped to them.
Drag a Specialty Name from the left column to the appropriate Purchasing Activity in the right column.
Once the mapping is complete, perform a Send to Warranty.
Lastly, set up the update interval for default suppliers going forward in the Bmt.Net Enterprise Administration application. See the topic Update Default Supplier on Workorders.
Any mapping changes should automatically be sent to BMT Warranty via the web service. If you have a new specialty in BMT Warranty, subsequent to completing and sending the mapping, you will need to import it, perform the mapping, then manually do a Send to Warranty again.
