Manual Distribution of the Annual Amount Difference

If you are going to change the annual amount of the service contract or contract quote, you will need to distribute the difference between the new and calculated annual amount values on the contract lines. You can do it manually or let the program do it automatically.

To distribute the annual amount difference manually:

  1. Open the Service Contract or Service Contract Quote window.

  2. Press F5 to open the Service Contract List window and select the relevant contract or contract quote. Then click OK to open the Service Contract or Service Contract Quote window containing information for this service contract or contract quote.

  3. Click Functions, Open to open the contract or contract quote for editing.

  4. Select the check box in the Allow Unbalanced Amounts field on the Invoice Details tab.

  5. Change the contents of the Annual Amount field according to your needs. Note that it is not possible either to sign or to lock the service contract if it has a negative annual amount. If the annual amount is equal to zero, the contents of the Invoice Period field must be None when either signing or locking the service contract.

  6. Modify the values in the Line Amount field on the contract lines. Note that the contents in the Calcd. Annual Amount field is updated as soon as you change any line amount on the contract lines. The distribution is completed when the value in the Calcd. Annual Amount field is equal to the new annual amount.

For Help about a specific field, click the field and press F1.
