Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in AASB 137 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets - July 2004.
A manufacturer gives warranties at the time of sale to purchasers of its product. Under the terms of the contract for sale the manufacturer undertakes to make good, by repair or replacement, manufacturing defects that become apparent within three years from the date of sale. On past experience, it is probable (that is, more likely than not) that there will be some claims under the warranties.
Present obligation as a result of a past obligating event – The obligating event is the sale of the product with a warranty, which gives rise to a legal obligation.
An outflow of resources embodying economic benefits in settlement – Probable for the warranties as a whole (see paragraph 24).
Conclusion – A provision is recognised for the best estimate of the costs of making good under the warranty products sold before the end of the reporting period (see paragraphs 14 and 24).
