# Warranty Tracker

## Business Case

### Problem Statement
Warranty management is often neglected:
- Missing warranty documentation
- Expired warranties untracked
- Difficult to file claims
- Scattered across multiple files

### Solution
Centralized warranty tracking system that monitors expiration dates, stores documentation, and manages claims.

### Business Value
- **Cost savings** - File claims before expiration
- **Organization** - Central warranty repository
- **Compliance** - Meet handover requirements
- **Proactive** - Automatic expiration alerts

## Quick Start

```python
from datetime import date

# Initialize tracker
tracker = WarrantyTracker(
    project_name="Office Tower",
    substantial_completion_date=date(2024, 6, 1)
)

# Add warranties
tracker.add_warranty(
    item_description="HVAC System - Rooftop Units",
    system=BuildingSystem.HVAC,
    warranty_type=WarrantyType.MANUFACTURER,
    manufacturer="Carrier",
    contractor="ABC Mechanical",
    duration_years=5,
    coverage_details="Parts and labor for manufacturing defects",
    contact_email="[email protected]"
)

# Check expiring warranties
expiring = tracker.get_expiring_warranties(90)
print(f"Warranties expiring in 90 days: {len(expiring)}")
```

## Common Use Cases

### 1. Monthly Review
```python
# Get expiration report
report = tracker.generate_expiration_report(months_ahead=3)
print(report[['Item', 'End Date', 'Days Remaining']])
```

### 2. File Claim
```python
claim = tracker.file_claim(
    warranty_id="WRT-0001",
    issue_description="RTU-1 compressor failure",
    issue_date=date.today(),
    reported_by="Building Manager"
)
```

### 3. Export for Handover
```python
tracker.export_to_excel("warranty_register.xlsx")
```
