Maintaining Support Services for Customer Products
You can view comprehensive support service information about your customer products, while you monitor both current and historical data. You can also view transactions, transaction details, and customer product service details. For example, you can view customer product services to determine how many products have a particular type of service, or you might want to know what type of service program can be applied to a customer product. Viewing customer product services enables you to determine which service programs are about to expire, and then initiate the steps to renew them.
Note: You must set the profile option Service: Allow Service Date Change to Yes to be able to modify start and end dates.
2. Select a line, then choose Services.

The original start and end dates show the values entered when the service was ordered or renewed.
Note: Changing the effective dates does not impact any financial termination. For example, if you extend the service end date, your customer will not be billed. Similarly, if you shorten the time before the service ends, a credit memo will not be raised.
