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 how to check the warranty of material component when we create the order and assign the component to the orders which 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 and give an error message to check the material under warranty.
I have created one material with a classification and assigned characteristics like a warranty counter or warranty period that defines the value in this classification. From here, the user can create the order for any equipment and assigned this material which act as a spare to order for repair (in case it needs one). When the user saves this order system to check the characteristics warranty period and counter for that material which are allocated in the component tab, the characteristics value exit for any material system will then throw a warning message that this material is under warranty. The user has to check the validity of warranty for that material manually.
The only thing missing from the configuration is the knowledge or know how on how to capture the warranty of spare parts. Where can I get this information and how do I capture the warranty of spare parts

This is regulation warranty for materials.
Follow the steps for compliance with regulation:
1) Go to the transaction BGM1
2) Create master warranty screen will appear. From there, enter all the mandatory data;
3) Go to class, it will ask for class assignment, but don’t assign any class there;
4) Now what you have to do is use transaction CL02 for creating class there in the basic data it will ask for validity. Enter from date and to date as warranty dates and save the class;
5) Assign the class to the meter warranty you created and save it.
This will work out and solve your problem even though it seems to be a crude method.
If the purpose of this is to serve only as an information message, then you could probably utilize user-exit CNEX0026 (general inspection of material).
You can view this user-exit via TCode SMOD
