Within the Maintenance Contracts Minutes, you could simplify negotiations with your customers and manage key information on existing contracts. With this tool, you could register the agreements laid down in the contract and access all relevant information centrally, making it easier for any member of your organization to be aware of the contract. Optimize your maintenance operations with thisluciía3n integral.
1. Access the "Contracts" module fromthe main menu. Once inside, you would find a table with the list of existing contracts. To create a new one, click on the "Create Contract" button in the upper-right corner.
2. When entering the Contracts module, you should fill in the required fields, such as the Customer's name. To facilitate this task, we have a drop-down list containing customers previously created in the Customers' section.If you haven't created any customers, you can do so quickly by clicking on the "+" icon on the right side of the customer drop-down list. In this way, you could easily register the information of a new customer without having to leave the contract module and go to the Customer module. Streamline the process of creating contracts with this intuitive functionality.
3.When creating your contract, choose a name that clearly identifies it. We recommend that you use relevant information on your purchase order, quotation or contract, such as the item, purpose, objective or description thereof, to facilitate its identification.
4.To create your contract, select a code that identifies it clearly and precisely. We suggest you use relevant information on your purchase order, quotation or contract, such as the number or code if you already have it. If you do not have one, use codification that will allow you to obtain key information on the contract easily. For example, if you have a contract with Caterpillar customer for a full-cost maintenance service and this is the fifth negotiation with them, you could create a CAT-C. In this case, "CAT" would identify the Caterpillar customer, "MTC" would represent maintenance at all costs, and "5" would indicate that it is the fifth negotiation. Using this type of code would help you facilitate the identification and management of the contract efficiently.
5. Record of contract amount.
When creating your contract, make sure you record the amount of money contracted, considering securities without tax. We recommend that you use relevant information on your purchase order, quotation or the original established contract sent to the customer to make this registration precisely and reliably.
