The service contract in SAP Business One

The basis for services within a service in SAP Business One is the corresponding service contract. Such must exist for a customer if he is to receive services in SAP. Such service contracts can also be created as templates and then individually designed for each customer.

You can store such support contracts or warranty contracts for any item or service in the system for customers. A contract has a term that is determined by a start date and an end date. In addition, contractual conditions are stored, which regulate processing periods, among other things.

Master data customer equipment in service

If an item that is managed with a serial number is delivered to a customer via a delivery (delivery note) or an outgoing invoice, a so-called customer equipment is automatically created in SAP Business One. This can then be used to track which products, devices, licenses, etc. are used by which customers.
