Define a Maintenance Agreement Header for a General Maintenance Agreement

This document explains how to define the common values for a maintenance agreement that is not connected to a specific customer. The common values make up the agreement header.

Use this instruction to create an agreement that allows handling of occasional customers and material sales.

Outcome

An agreement header with common values for a non customer-specific agreement is defined. The agreement header contains information that control all service jobs you connect to the agreement.

The information about the agreement header is stored in the ACUAGH table.

Use the agreement header when you define an agreement line with the different services that are to be included in the agreement.
