You can create service object relations between a service object and a service agreement or service order. When you create a relation, you attach the service object to the service agreement or service order.

When the relation has been created, you can attach the service object to any lines on the service agreement or service order.

Template BOMs

You can also specify a template BOM for the object relation. The template BOM is a bill of materials for the object on which you perform service. If you replace a component part of the service object during a service visit, you can register this change in the service BOM by using the form.

Example

You create a service agreement for servicing two elevators at a customer site. The service agreement has the identification ID SAL-001.

The elevators have been set up as objects in the form as EL-S/1000 and EL-L/1000.

You attach the service objects (EL-S/1000 and EL-L/1000) to the service agreement.

You want to register changes in the BOM for the service object as you replace component parts of the object, so you attach a service BOM to the service object relation, as described in the following table.

Service BOM

EL-S/1000

ID SAL-001

BOM-EL-S/1000

EL-L/1000

ID SAL-001

BOM-EL-L/1000

Because there are service object relations for the agreement, you can now create service agreement lines with these objects as described in the following table.

On a service visit, you have to replace the gearbox for elevator EL-S/1000. To replace a component part of the object, you can access the BOM Designer by using the service object relation that you set up for the current service agreement.

Access the BOM Designer by using a service object relation

  1. Click > , and then select a service agreement.

  2. Click , and then click .

  3. In the form, click to open the form, and then update the BOM.

Automatically created service orders

If you automatically create service orders for a service agreement, the service object relations in the agreement are also in the created service orders.
