Add Service Offering
Service offerings determine what is billable and non-billable for the service being provided. Through service offerings, you can determine the type of service you are going to provide to your customers. You can define offerings to include items such as onsite and repair time commitments, pre-negotiated rates for travel and work time, rules for billability of parts and consumables, event charges, as well as fixed fee services. These items can vary by service offering and can be changed mid-stream as you learn more about the work to be performed. Every Service Offering is associated with specific inclusions, service items, service levels, price books, part prices and billing settings. Hence, when you select a service offering for a case or work order, all the associated items of the service offering will be applied automatically and the billing will be generated accordingly.
