For tire product records, define the original tread depth for warranty and return purposes. When customers return tires, the system uses the original tread depth and a percent of wear table to determine the return value for the tire.
Note: The Original Tire Tread Depth utility works with Return Goods Verification.
Define original tread depth in integrals of 1/32 of an inch. For each 1/32 of an inch of the original tread depth, enter a whole number.
For example:
1 = 1/32, 2 = 1/16, and 3 = 3/32.
Or you can use decimals to define original tread depth, which also relate to each 1/32 of an inch.
For example:
0.5 = 1/64, or half of 1/32.
To define the original tire tread depth for a tire product record:
From the Maintenance menu, select Product to display the Product Maintenance window.
Display the tire product record for which to define original tread depth.
From the Additional Data menu, select Miscellaneous Data to display the Product Miscellaneous Information window.
In the Original Tread Depth field, enter a value for each 1/32 of inch of the original tread depth.
