The integration with BMT Warranty primarily operates behind the scenes through a web service hosted in the Bmt.Net Enterprise Administration application. Initially, however, it is necessary to manually run a Send to Warranty function. This transfers WMS company, division, area, supplier data marked as "Warranty-enabled," and all jobs to BMT Warranty (assuming the Warranty account is already enabled).
This needs to be performed one time, after the initial setup steps for BMT Warranty are complete. Then, only when new specialities are brought down from Warranty and mapped, will this need to be done again.
If the process encounters incomplete data, the process will not fail, rather display the specific error and continue. Hit the Refresh button to load updated data in the bottom of the screen.

From the Warranty menu, select Send to Warranty.
Click the Send All icon, or selectSend All from the menu.
If all data has transferred successfully to Warranty, a 'successful' message will appear on the bottom of the screen.
If an error is encountered during the transfer, the error message will relay the issue. Check the WMS Setup screens to ensure the required fields are populated at the company, division, area and supplier level. Or, test the connection to the web-based Warranty application.
The data showing in the progress section of the screen is written to log files for reference. The log files are created under Start > Programs > BuilderMT > BmtNet > bin > Logs. Once a log file reaches 5MB in size, a new log file will be created automatically.
