Contracts
Contract Expiry - Close Contract
For expired contracts that remain active, you have the ability to buy back serial numbers that have been selected, if the selected items are customer assets.
If there are serial numbers to buy back then the Buy Back Request maintain screen will be displayed for you to edit and save the details as needed. At that point the contract status will change to End of Contract and will be pending closure approval.
If there are Buy Back Requests created, they will be pending approval for processing the Buy Backs. If the closure request is cancelled then the buy-back requests will also be cancelled. The acceptance of the buy-backs will be contingent upon the closure request being approved.
For the closure of a contract where an internal asset is selected, the contract status will change to End of Contractand a work order will be created to process the return upon approval of the closure request.

Upon opening, this screen will default to the Expired status, listing all the serial numbers on contracts that have expired, indicating the state of the serial number. The expiry date is based on the contract start date + contract period.
You can view all contracts, regardless of expiry date, by selecting the All status.
