Hi Howie,

Thanks for the reply.We have a requirment of creating Service contract and there will not be any integration with the

ECC system.Currently we have service master agreement type supported by SAP as default.Just trying to understand if this

type can be used for the service contracts.

Hi

Service master agreement type is nothing but agreement with sub agreements. SAP here suggest that you treat service as a sub agreement thereby keeping track of various milestones etc. However in SAP ECC services are not individual contracts rather there is a seperate master data component (service master).

Since there is no integration, decision you need to make is whether you want to treat service as an individual sub agreement or a material in e sourcing as there is no seperate master data component for services in e sourcing. Based on business requirement you can proceed further.

Priya,

The types are arbitrary suggestions provided by SAP. Instead, I would recommend looking at what your client's requirements are in mapping to the document type, and adjusting the type configuration as appropriate.

Good luck!
