Defining a Location

Use this procedure to define a location for a product or maintenance contract. Locations are used if a product or service is used at a location that is different than the bill-to address, and appears on product invoices as the ship-to address. Locations are also used as the tax location.

To define a location

  1. Access Service Location (BR16.1).
  2. Select the Company and Customer for which you are defining the location. This is the AR Company and AR Customer for the contract.
  3. Use the following guidelines to enter field values:
