Service Contract

podolly

Does a service contract required if we ship the manufactured item to a customer which we provide 1 year warranty for it? For every shipped item, it gets a S/N, and 1 year warranty from the installation date (not the shipment date). If I want the system to handle the warranty, do I need to create a contract for the item manually? Or any way to generate one automatically? How about the warranty period on the service item card? Does this one already serve the purpose?

Many thanks.
