Contract Types Working with Contracts

The five default contract types are:

Type Description
Days The contract is tracked according to a number of days of services the account has purchased. This value is entered into the Quantity box for the contract. When the contract type is Days, and as activities are generated for the account, the value in the Remaining box will not decrement.
Hours The contract is tracked according to a number of hours of services the account has purchased. This value is entered in the Quantity box for the contract. The total time is calculated using the Elapsed Hours value for all activities generated for the account. As activities are generated, the value in the Remaining box decreases to reflect the number of hours left on the contract
Incidents The contract is tracked according to the number of service calls the account has purchased. This value is entered into the Quantity box for the contract. The total number of incidents reflects the total number of tickets the account has opened. As tickets are opened, the value in the Remaining box decreases to reflect the number of incidents left on the contract.
Value The contract is tracked according to a currency value placed on the services the account has purchased. This value is entered into the List Price or Contract Amount box for the contract. When a ticket activity is created against the contract, the activity's Total value is charged against the contract amount, and the value in the Remaining box decreases to reflect the value left on the contract.
Perpetual The contract has no limit. The account can open an unlimited number of tickets and activities for an unlimited amount of time.
