Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to History logging Step Size for Quotation Term Number The number that defines the sequence for the successive quotation coverage terms and cost terms. For example, if you enter the value 10, the numbers assigned to successive quotation coverage terms or cost terms are 10, 20, 30, and so on Step Size for Quotation Configuration Line The number that defines the sequence for the successive quotation configuration lines. For example, if you enter the value 10, the numbers assigned to successive quotation configuration lines are 10, 20, 30, and so on. Use Prices in Service Contracts If this check box is selected, sales prices can be defined on the service contract configuration line. Note By default, the field is not checked.

This will give additional information as to how much each of the configurations under the contract is contributing to the total revenue. If this check box is cleared, revenue recognition is done for the contract as a whole. Default Estimated Revenue Amount per Period If this check box is selected, Infor LN calculates the default estimated revenue amount of the contract for a specific period. Step Size for Contract Term Number The number that defines the sequence for the successive contract coverage terms and cost terms. For example, if you enter the value 10, the numbers assigned to successive contract coverage terms or cost terms are 10, 20, 30, and so on. Step Size for Contract Configuration Line The number that defines the sequence for the successive contract configuration lines. For example, if you enter the value 10, the numbers assigned to successive contract configuration lines are 10, 20, 30, and so on.
