A phone or laptop is kept as its own device, with its own codes and condition. Warranty is set on the product, and each sale keeps its own copy of it.
6 things it does
A phone asks for its IMEI or serial number, and a laptop asks for its serial
Professional only
Which codes do I have to enter for a phone or a laptop? A product tracked by serial number carries a device type, such as phone, laptop or appliance. The type decides which codes and facts each unit asks for, so a phone asks for a serial number or an IMEI, and at least one is needed.
Without it
Phones, laptops and earphones carry different codes. If one form asks every item for an IMEI, the shopkeeper types the wrong code or leaves the box empty.
With it
Each product has a device type, and the type decides which codes its units ask for. A phone needs an IMEI or a serial number, and at least one of them.
When you add a unit, the form asks only for the codes that type uses.

Write down a used phone's condition, battery and checks before you sell it
Professional only
What do I record about a used phone before I sell it? Each device can record its condition (new sealed, new open box, used or refurbished), its minimum price, its battery, a faults and repairs note, and yes or no boxes for carrier lock and locks cleared. PTA approved is asked only in Pakistan.
Without it
A used phone comes back to the counter. The customer says the battery was fine, but nobody wrote down what the phone was like when it came in.
With it
Each device keeps its own record: its condition, its minimum price, its battery, a note of faults and repairs, and yes or no boxes for carrier lock and locks cleared.
Type the battery level and the number of cycles where the device asks for them. Write the faults or repairs in one note. Tick carrier lock or locks cleared when they apply. Each device has its own record, so phones of the same model can differ.

A used phone is sold with the warranty it really has left
Professional only
Can a warranty apply only to new phones, or carry over what a used phone has left? On a device, each warranty cover is for new devices, used devices or every device. A used device can carry the end date its own warranty has left, and Installed on starts a warranty that begins on a date, even after the sale.
Without it
A phone bought used is sold with the same long warranty as a new one. When it breaks, the customer is told it is covered, and the shop must then say no at the counter.
With it
Each warranty can be set for new devices, for used devices, or for both. A used device carries the end date its own warranty has, and the receipt prints it.
When you take in a used device, you type the day its own warranty ends, and that date goes on the sale. A warranty that starts on a date, such as one that starts when an item is installed, can be set on the device's page, even after it is sold.

Give a product one or more warranties, each with its own length
In every edition
Can I set a warranty period on a product that starts from the sale? A product can have one or more warranty covers, each with a name and a length in days, months or years. A cover starts from the sale or from a date, and a product starts with none.
Without it
Warranty terms differ. The shop gives its own, the brand gives another, and a compressor may have a third. Written on a card in a drawer, they are easy to lose or mix up.
With it
A product can hold several warranties, each with a name and a length in days, months or years. Each one starts from the sale or from a date you choose.
Open the product's Warranty tab and add a warranty. Add as many as the product needs. A new product starts with no warranty, so you add only the ones it has.

A sold phone keeps the details it had on the day it was sold
Professional only
If I edit a device's details later, does its sale change? When a device is sold, the sale keeps a copy of its condition, codes and facts as they stood at the sale. Editing the device later does not change that sale.
Without it
You correct a device's record weeks after a sale. Now the old sale shows a battery level or a code that the phone did not have when the customer bought it.
With it
The sale keeps its own copy of the device's condition, codes and facts as they were at the sale. A later change to the device does not change that sale.
When a device leaves the shop, the sale keeps a copy of what the device was like at that moment. The copy holds its condition, its codes, its battery, its cycles and its notes. You can edit the device later for the next sale. The copy in the old sale stays exactly as it was.
Other ways people ask this

The warranty date on a receipt stays the same, even if you change the warranty later
In every edition
Does a receipt's warranty end date change if I edit the cover later? Each sale keeps its own copy of the warranty, so changing a cover later does not change the end date on a sold item. The receipt and the invoice show that copy.
Without it
A customer comes back to the counter a year later with the receipt. The product's warranty has been changed since, and nobody is sure which end date counts.
With it
Each sale keeps its own copy of the warranty. Changing a product's warranty later does not move the end date on a sold item, and the receipt shows that copy.
When an item is sold, the sale keeps a copy of each warranty it has: its name, its length and when it starts. If you change the product's warranty afterwards, that copy does not move. The receipt and the invoice print the copy, so the end date on the paper is the one the customer was given.
