Alternatively, a service employee monitors incoming service requests and creates a follow-up order when services or spare parts are required on-site, at your own service center, or at the service center of a supplier.
Your service employee creates a service order with relevant details such as the account, affected product, location of service provision, order priority, the services and spare parts required, and related expenses that might result from the service execution, for example travel to the customer. After the order is planned, an order confirmation is sent to the customer and the order released for follow-up processes.

process variants Document work, track actuals and release a service confirmation i The Confirming Service Execution business process enables the service performer to complete the job, after executing a service, by reporting back actual times and spare parts as well as travel expenses, for example. The service confirmation document is also used to record additional information about the work performed, the root cause of a product problem, warranty information, or feedback with the aim to increase product quality.
If the location of service provision is your own service center, or if there is unplanned consumption, the service performer processes a goods activity confirmation for spare parts. This enables him or her to trigger a goods issue directly for the related logistics area without having to trigger the outbound delivery process.
For service provided at a supplier’s service center, the actual service and spare parts consumption in the confirmation is taken from the goods and service acknowledgement.
After the service confirmation document has been released, the system automatically triggers customer invoicing and passes necessary information to Cash Flow Management to calculate the costs-of-service, and also to Inventory Management to adapt the inventory level in case of spare part consumption. For fixed price services, where there is no service confirmation, completion is confirmed directly in the sales or service order and the follow-up processes triggered from the order.
