When entering a "Pre-April 1, 2003 Contract for Services", end users should enter only the balance that is left on the service contract. The total value of the contract should be recorded on the detail line of the Service Contract.

To accomplish this, once you have entered your order header and are ready to create the "detail lines" associated with the order header, you should create a detail line that is TEXT ONLY by entering a "T" in Ln Ty (Line Type). In the Description fields, enter a brief description: "Original Value of Contract was....."

This will enable anybody reviewing the contracts to see what the total value of the Service Contract was when you entered into it.
