Determine the Types of Contracts 'Linked' to the Membership

Memberships typically exist to reward customers for participating in standard service with the company. Refer to How Are Service Credits Earned? for more information. If memberships of this type are related to standard service for your company, determine the contract types for these contracts.

Note: Standard Service Contract Types. These contract types are probably different from the type of contract you may link as the membership contract. The membership contract is used for miscellaneous charges like general ledger posting. These contract types are related to financial service, etc.

For our two examples, assume that the company provides financial service. The capital credits are related only to financial service, frequent flier miles are accumulated for a combination of services.

The following table illustrates the contract types that are associated with the sample membership types:
Membership Type Description Contract Types
