CSSBCServiceRequest Class


CSSBCServiceRequest is the class that the Service Request business component is based on. It provides special functionality that is present in the Service Request module. The Service Request module is used to keep track of issues and problems that either the customer or the employee encounter. Among the functionality that is tied to the Service Request are entitlement verification, checking warranty, and calculating commit time.

Usage Guidelines

Service Request is used to log and track problems that need to be resolved. A Service Request has a life cycle, beginning as Open in status to ultimately being Closed when it is resolved. The user should update the status as events occur in the processing of the Service Request. The state model, when enabled, guides the user in navigating to the next possible state to reach a resolution.

The Status and Sub-Status fields are required by this class.
