Create a Service Contract Subscription Line

While creating a service contract, you can add subscription lines for recurring sale of items associated with the contract over a period of time.

They can include a number of serviceable items, both tangible and intangible, within each line along with their pricing terms. You must create and manage a subscription line with the same Enterprise Contracts UI that is used for creating a contract. You must enter the following additional information for a subscription line to be processed:

  • Number: Line number of the subscription line for the item selected.

  • Start Date: Start date of the subscription line. This value can be changed and may differ from the start date of the contract.

  • End Date: Date until which the subscription line is valid. This value can be changed and may differ from the start date of the contract.

  • Line Quantity: Number of subscriptions of each item selected.

  • Name: Inventory item name of the subscription line.

  • Price UOM: Optional for service contracts, it is the unit of measurement for pricing. For example, the Price UOM can be 'Each'.

After creating a subscription line, you can review the billing schedule of each item within the line. You can create more subscription lines by following the same process. In case of amendment to the contract lines, you must regenerate the billing schedule for the changes to reflect on the contract.

In addition, you can create, amend and cancel subscription items in the contract, after which you can submit the contract for approval.

Note: Prior to subscription line creation, ensure setup of the 'Sales Product Type' and 'Service Duration Type' fields in the Create Item task.
