The service contract in SAP Business One
Service contract in SAP Business OneThe basis for services within a service in SAP Business One is the corresponding service contract. This must exist for a customer if they are to receive services in SAP. Such service contracts can also be created as templates and then customised 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.
Customer equipment master data
If you have a delivery (delivery note) or an outgoing invoice to a customer, SAP Business One automatically creates a so-called customer equipment. This can then be used to obtain important information: Which customer uses which products, devices, licences, etc.
