Overview

Overview

This process is designed to help organizations that maintain separate contracts for lease payments and service revenue verify that service calls are invoiced against the proper contract. When service calls are mistakenly assigned to the lease contract instead of the appropriate maintenance contract, it can lead to billing errors and inaccurate profitability reporting.

The alert checks for invoice service calls that are linked to the contract types specified in variable W. This allows users to be alerted when a service call is billed under a contract type that may not be appropriate for the service activity and make needed corrections.
