Contract Management

ServiceDesk Plus Cloud supports Contract Management that enables you to formulate, control, and manage contracts with external parties. A contract is a legally binding agreement between parties. Contract management can be used in conjunction with incident management and asset management. You can create contracts for your assets and software or standalone contracts.

Contract Types

You can classify contracts into various types, such as lease, maintenance, support, warranty, and the like. Besides the default contract types, you can configure new ones.

Configuring Contract Types

 

To add a new contract type,

 

List View Page Actions

Use the Search icon displayed on the upper-half of the page to search contract types by name.

 

 

To edit or delete a contract, use the corresponding option displayed under Settings  next to the contract.

 

 

If you delete a contract type when it is used in contract/s, the contract type will be deactivated. 

To enable a deactivated contract, click the contract name and disable Contract Type not for further usage option.

 

 

Under Table Settings, you can define the number of records to be displayed per page and sort contract types in an alphabetical order or reversely.

 

 

Contract Settings

Using the Contract Settings, you can define the starting number for contract IDs and the ID prefix. You can also select the template on which a request must be raised upon contract expiry.

All these settings are available under Setup  > Customization > Contract Management > Configuration.

 

Contract Configuration 

 

If the selected contract expiry request template is deleted in the request under Setup > Templates & Forms > Incident Template, the default incident template will be assigned in the Contract Expiry Request Template in contract management, and the request will be created using the default request template.
If the selected contract expiry request template is disabled in the request under Setup > Templates & Forms > Incident Template, the default incident template will not be assigned in the Contract Expiry Request Template in contract management, but the request will still be created using the default request template.
