# updateWarranty

mutation · in the family [Warranty](/reference/warranty/)

## What it does

Edit warranty terms on what you sell — change its details.

Edit a Warranty's mutable attributes. Requires the unrestricted capability + the record's CURRENT revision.

## Careful

Edits take effect immediately and write a new revision; the old revision stays in history.

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Selling** — Ringing sales, serving customers and issuing invoices.

- Owner
- Manager
- Associate Manager
- Sales Associate
- Cashier
- An API key whose scope allows `api:updateWarranty`

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | yes | The id of the record. |
| `revision` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | yes | The revision id you read on the record; the change is refused if an edit landed in the meantime. |
| `input` | [EditWarrantyInput](/types/EditWarrantyInput/) `EditWarrantyInput!` | yes | No further notes. |

## Returns

[Warranty](/types/Warranty/) `Warranty!` — A Warranty — THE WARRANTY INSTANCE: one sold order line under one WarrantyTerms template. Born by the ENGINE when the sale completes (paid AND delivered) for every variant line whose product carries an active product-attached template or whose variant names a manufacturer carrying an active manufacturer-attached template (one warranty per matching template); never created on the wire. The policy is SNAPSHOTTED at birth (provider · durationDays → expiresAt = startsAt + durationDays), so later template edits never rewrite an issued warranty. `active → expired` is the scheduler’s over expiresAt; `active → claimed` is fileClaimWarranty (a warranty_claim CsCase linked both ways). The serial number is optional and stamped through updateWarranty. Listings keep expired warranties as coverage history (the settled-payment class — a status filter narrows to active); every warranty stays reachable by id from the order line’s warrantyIds.

- `AUTHN/REQUIRED` — Sign in to do this. ([AUTHN](/errors/AUTHN/))
- `AUTHZ/FORBIDDEN` — Your role does not allow this action. ([AUTHZ](/errors/AUTHZ/))
- `RATE_LIMIT/THROTTLED` — Too many requests in a short time. ([RATE_LIMIT](/errors/RATE_LIMIT/))
- `NOT_FOUND/*` — That record could not be found. ([NOT_FOUND](/errors/NOT_FOUND/))
- `CONFLICT/*` — The record’s state, or a change made in the meantime, does not allow this; the codes are on the CONFLICT page. ([CONFLICT](/errors/CONFLICT/))
- `VALIDATION/VERSION_REQUIRED` — The request did not say which app version it came from. ([VALIDATION](/errors/VALIDATION/))

## Dry run

Add `dryRun: true` to the request envelope (`extensions.at`) to rehearse this call: every check runs, the write is rehearsed against the current records and nothing is stored; the answer is the refusal a real call would give, or the record it would create. Every response to a rehearsal carries `dryRun: true`, so a rehearsed record is never mistaken for a saved one.
