Accounting Translations deep dive -- Semantics of INV_WARRANTY_ADJ

c.schinzer
Hi all,

Context:
I am currently working through the DemoGlSetupData.xml in order to adjust it
to
a) the context of my customer
b) the context of German Accounting rules

I am wondering, what could be the semantic meaning of INV_WARRANTY_ADJ.
While the english entry on the respective AccountingsUiLables.xml indicates
that this is for "Invoice Warranty" the translations to other languages are
unclear to me:
Some sound like "an Invoice Position for Warranty Fees" while others sound
like "Warranty for the Invoice" (i.e. the sum that is paid for
shipping-warranty to an insurance).

Anyone who could point me to the proper meaning? Or anyone who can explain
how this is used in invoicing / accounting?

Thanks & regards

Carsten,
Its type for applying adjustment to the invoice.

Adjustments items on invoice allow lot of flexibility. Positive or Negative value of amount controls if it you want to add something to invoice total or want to reduce it. They are generally used for stuff that is not part of your product catalog.

In this case, INV_WARRANTY_ADJ can be used for adding certain charge to Invoice or give discount (-ve value) on invoice. Mostly expected to be used by CSR in special scenario.

In case you want to sell some kind of warranty on top of some product (e.g 2 year Protection plan on Computer) then it be wise to add a product to Catalog.

Thanks and Regards
