Service Management – Settlement Rule: Define Time and Creation of Distribution Rules

This lesson will be another short and sweet one.  Who doesn’t like things to be straightforward.  ha ha ha  This is often another piece that doesn’t need to be touched, unless your FICO group gives you specific instructions to change it.  And if they do, it’s really easy 🙂

Here’s where you locate it in configuration.

You’ll notice again, this is by order type.  Now you can’t be plant specific in this screen, but typically, that isn’t a requirement I’ve run into.

Settlement rule Time:  You have a few options, and all this section does is determine when the settlement rule must exist in the service order.  Keep in mind, if you’re dealing with the in-house repair scenario, the settlement rule will be generated for you, so it won’t really matter what setting you choose.

Distribution Rule Sub-Order:  This is the setting to apply if you are using Sub-Service Orders (IW36).  You can define how the settlement rule should be determined.

That’s it.  Nice and easy.
