Definition of Periodical Price Increase for Service Contracts

You can now define periodical price increase on service contract items. When the service contract items have auto renewals, the predefined price increases will be automatically applied to billing requests. 

Service contracts are long-term agreements with your customers. You may need to increase your prices in the future. Prices for goods or services may increase rapidly, or you offer your customers discounts for now but need to increase the price later on. 

To deal with the potential impacts of price fluctuations, your company can plan the prices of the provisioned services in advance. To do so, you can predefine prices for service contract items that are planned to be extended through automatic renewal in the future. Your customer service managers can perform this task in the Manage Service Contracts app, with no need for laborious preparation efforts in pricing master data or determination logic.

For more information, see Defining Prices for Auto Renewal.

With this feature, you benefit from reduced manual maintenance efforts through automation and mass processing for pricing updates of service contracts.

  • Define periodical price increase on service contracts
  • When creating billing request lines based on a renewal, the predefined price increase will be applied
  • Predefined future prices will be automatically taken into consideration during service contract auto-renewal process
