Select how service order lines will be initially grouped after they are automatically created. You can group by:

Service agreement
Employee
Service object
Service task

Example

You create a service agreement with a start date on 03-31-2007 and in the Combine service ordersfield, you specify By service object. You then create the following service agreement lines:

Agreement line number	Transaction type	Description	Interval	Service object	Start date
1	Hour	SAL1	Weekly	X-1	04-01-2007
2	Hour	SAL2	Bi-weekly	X-2	04-01-2007
3	Hour	SAL3	Weekly	X-2	04-01-2007

You do not specify time windows for any of the service agreement lines. Therefore, the service order lines will not move from the calculated day that they fall on.

Next, you generate service order lines from the Create service ordersform from 04-01-2007 until 04-30-2007.

In total, 10 service orders are created. Because the combined setting that you selected was By service object, all service orders that are created have only service order lines with one specific service object. Service order lines that are generated from the service agreement and have the same service date and the same object are combined on the same service order.

Note
In this example, the calendar specified in the Service parameters form has no closed days.

Further grouping of service order lines into service orders occurs according to any time window that you specify on the service agreement lines.
