The number you enter here, along with the duration period, provide defaults when you order the service. You can select any period or unit of measure as long as it’s associated with the Time unit of measure class.

Duration and Duration Period are required for warranty and service contract item types only.

Enable for Customer Self Service

If Enable for Customer Self Service is enabled for the item, then the customer can see this item in the product selector dialog box.
Note: On the REST API this translates to an attribute called CSSEnabled.
