SAP Service Management: Service Contracts

by Mike Piehl

Overview

When I looked for help to configure service contracts. I quickly realized there was a gap in the material. There was very little material that talked about Service contracts. I could find bits and pieces about billing plans, revenue recognition or contracts, but nothing to give me the full picture. So I decided to pull it all together into one place.
This book is both how to manual and a reference guide. The idea is that the initial sections of the book will provide you with a quick start guide to implementing service contracts. Then I provide a walk through to see how the process will look for the user, and finally all the individual pieces of configuration that make up the process. It will guide you through the configuration in all of the following areas:
* Service Contracts
* Service Notifications
* Billing Plans
* Revenue Recognition
* Reporting
This is THE comprehensive guide to SAP Service Contract configuration. If I missed anything you need to know, let me know and I'll add it to the book.
