Product warranty display should be based on purchase date
If you associate a product with an account (a piece of equipment, for example, that has an associated warranty), and specify the sale date of this product, why not then reflect the time remaining on the warranty on the Account summary screen?
In other words, I associate the product 'Dell Computer' with an account, with a purchase date of 1/1/2006. The product is configured to include a 3 year warranty. If I open the Account Details page for said account today (April 22), the warranty on that Dell Computer should show '2 years, 8 months' (time remaining on warranty based on purchase date) instead of '3 years 0 months'.
This would be a really handy way of keeping track of products you've sold to an account and whether the product is in or out of warranty at any given time.
Perhaps if based on the purchase date the product is no longer under warranty, the warranty field could display 'OUT OF WARRANTY' in red letters or something.
What do you guys think?
