Multiple Contracts

Depending on your service level agreements with a customer, you may have to handle a service item under more than one service contract.

By handling a service item under multiple contracts, you can do the following:

You can consider the following examples of using the multiple contracts functionality.

Creating Multiple Contracts per Service Item

You can manually create a service contract or contract quote for service items already registered in non-canceled contracts owned by the same customer. To do this, follow the standard procedure of creating service contracts and service contract quotes. For more information, see How to: Work with Service Contracts and Service Contract Quotes.

When you add a service item on a contract line that is registered in other service contracts or contract quotes, a warning message is displayed stating that the service item already belongs to one or more service contracts or contract quotes. If you confirm this message, all relevant service item information is copied to a newly created contract line.

Copying Documents

You can automatically create a service contract or contract quote for service items that are already registered in other service contracts or contract quotes by using the Copy Document action.

Creating Service Orders for Multiple Contracts

You can manually create a service order for a service item that is registered in multiple active contracts. A service contract is active when it is signed and not expired.
