This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Entitlement Match page.

Entitlement Match page

The system displays agreements and warranties that meet the entitlement search criteria that is entered for the service order or case. Select the appropriate agreement line or warranty for the case or service order. The system displays the details for the agreement line or warranty in the Details group box. You can only select one agreement line or warranty.

Note: If you have not saved the service order, you can perform another entitlement search and select a different warranty or agreement line by clicking the Edit button on the Service Order page.

For cases, agents can attach an agreement, but only the manager can detach it once it saved. When an agent selects an agreement on a case, he or she can still perform another search by clicking the Clear link and selecting a different agreement before saving the case.

Once the case is saved, only the manager has the privilege to change the agreement. This is controlled through the rule-based security that is defined in the Display Template Component pages for the Clear field. PeopleSoft delivers help desk manager and call center manager as sample data and provides these user IDs with the ability to detach agreements.

Product Information

Field or Control

Definition

Product ID and Product Description

Displays the ID and description of the product

Currency

Displays the currency of the transaction price. The system does not display this field for PeopleSoft HelpDesk.

Transaction Price

Displays the price of the transaction for receiving support or the specified service for the product (repair, preventive maintenance, and so on). The system does not display this field for PeopleSoft HelpDesk.

Purchase Option

Displays the method of purchasing the service or support offering for an agreement or agreement service transaction. The system does not display this field for PeopleSoft HelpDesk.

Options are:

Flat: The service or support offering is purchased for a flat fee.

Prepaid: A specified number of work units of the service or support offering is purchased in advance. There is no transaction fee for the service or support offering as long as there is remaining quantity for the agreement line.

T&M (time and material): The price of the service or support offering per transaction is based on the labor rate.

Remaining Quantity

Displays the amount of unused, prepaid quantity. As long as a positive quantity remains, there is no transaction fee for the service order or support offering. For field service agreements, the prepaid quantity is in units of service orders or hours, and the system decreases this quantity by 1 service order or the appropriate number of hours specified in the timelog as billable each time a service order that is covered by the agreement line is saved.

If the service order is canceled, the system increases the appropriate number of hours or remaining quantity by 1. For support agreements, workflow processes must be implemented to update remaining quantity. Lines with zero remaining prepaid quantities are not shown.

Note: The system makes any agreement line available for selection that has more than one product for which there are some products with a zero prepaid balance and some products that have a positive prepaid balance or do not use the prepaid purchase option. If the user selects that line, the system makes the corresponding detail section with the product lines that have zero prepaid balances unavailable for selection.
