Warranty of spares
An urgent requirement from our clients is the capture of the
warranty of spare parts. I know the warranty of equipment,
function, and location. However, I am not up to date on

are under warranty. If there are any user exits available to
check the warranty at the time of release or save and check
the condition of component based on the characteristics
value defined in the material master data classification. This
will ensure that when the component is under warranty,
the users do not save or release the order & give an error
message to check the material under warranty.

- 41 -
SAP PM Interview Questions
✍ ANSWER
I can think of two ways for this in the sales order:
Use the additional data tabs to do this and then used a batch
program run overnight to work out what equipment records
to update if the update is not needed immediately.
You don’t need to use a user exit but SD is very good for
user modifications. There are plenty of user exits and the
documentation is very good too (unusual for SAP). In
transaction SPRO, Sales and distribution->User Exits, there
are user exits at all stages of the process. Click on the IMG
activity document and the help will tell you the user exits
and the program names.
