Next Service Calc. Method Field, Service Mgt. Setup Table
Specifies how you want the program to recalculate the next planned service date for service items in service contracts.
The order is considered to belong to the contract whose number is contained in the Contract No. field in the Service Header table. Posting the service order that belongs to the service contract and includes the service item which is on service against the same service contract will result in recalculating the value in the Next Planned Service Date field for that service item. The method of recalculation is chosen using the value in the Next Service Calculation field.
This field contains the following options: Planned and Actual.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Planned |
The next planned service date is recalculated by adding the value in the Service Period field for the service item to the previous next planned service date. Also, when the last service actually took place is disregarded. |
Actual |
The next planned service date is recalculated by adding the service period for the service item to the value in the Posting Date field of the last posted service order that belongs to the service contract and includes that service item. |
