Siebel Field Service Guide > Agreements > Agreements Screen > Financials ViewThe Financials view for the agreement references the quotes and orders corresponding to the agreement. From the Quotes screen > List > Agreements view and the Service Order screen > List > Agreements view, users can click the Auto Contract button to automatically create an agreement based on the quote and order contract. The data mapping will determine what fields are copied into the agreement. See Configuring Data Maps to Copy Specified Items for more information. The Origin and Renewal Details section contains the origins of the agreement—the order and quote information. Renewals are done at the level of the agreement line items. The Total Amounts section contains the revenue totals for the agreement including net discounts, adjustments, taxes, and shipping. NOTE: The Total Amounts section should ideally be synchronized with the Accounts Receivable system to provide suitable visibility for contract revenue.

The revenue should be based on the following: Both of these are defined in the price list and the cost list, using the Administration - Pricing screen. Finally, the Revenue Recognition and Invoice Details section contains information about the amount invoiced, the date of the invoice and the invoice schedule. This information is supplied by the Charge and Invoice module. Table 53 describes items in the Financials view. This view is also useful for co-term information. See Using Co-Terms for more information. |
