Use this activity to enter information required to create a Recurring Service Program using the New Recurring Service Program assistant. It is possible to define a Recurring Service Program either using a Recurring Service Package and/or a Request Contract.
To create a Recurring Service Program using a Recurring Service Package, the package should be in Active state and should be valid. If the package valid dates are empty it is always considered valid.
Request Contract can have several statuses; Planned, Active, Negotiated and Closed. However, a recurring service program can be created using a request contract in all these statuses, except in Closed status. When a recurring service program is connected to a request contract, the program validity is set by Valid From and Expiry Date of the request contract. Even though these dates are editable on the program, they are required to be inside the period defined by the Request Contract Valid From and Expiry Date.
The Item Information section is optional, but it is important to note that a location for the program is mandatory when creating scopes for models, and requests will only be generated for objects located at the location specified in the program Item Information. The item information can be modified on a Preliminary program.
As a result of this activity, a recurring service program with unique program number will be created. The new recurring service program will be in the Preliminary state.
