Contracts - Service Mgmt (vs.3.70)

Hi!
assuming a signed contract for servicing a customer's item of 1000 uc per year, and that in the first 6 months the total value of required services by customer is already 2000 uc: for the next request from customer (quote, order), would Nav alert user that the value of customer's contract is not enough to cover any further requests? #-o

Cheers,

You could add a flowfield in the contract for Service Ledger Entry table where Service Contract No. = Contract No. and get all the values that has been posted.

Then you can check that val with the annual amount of the Contract in the validate function of the Contract No. of the Service Header and display an error or message...

Hi Arhontis !
so, in your opinion, there is no way the standard NA application to provide that (alert) feature? Some code/devellopment should be done? :-k

Yep,

Since the contract is signed, the system does not care if you have a BAD contract (with alot of work done) or a GOOD contract (with little work done) so that it will display a message that you are loosing money with that contract.

Thare is a Gain/Loss functionality (look in a Contract), but there aren't any automatic checks...

The solution you need is very simple, a field and 3 lines of code in the OnValidate function of "Sales Header"."Contract No.".
