Service Order:
A service order is a short-term agreement between service provider and service recipient, in which one-time services are ordered by the service recipient and resource-related billing performed upon completion. Such an order could be, for example, to maintain or repair some equipment, making it necessary to send a technician along with spare parts. These services are usually billed.
Service Contracts:
Service contracts are outline agreements with business partners which define services offered for a particular period. You support service contracts by processing contract-based and planned services.
Service contracts represent long-term service agreements with customers in relation to the content and scope of services guaranteed within specific tolerance limits for certain parameters, for example, within a predefined timeframe.
I hope this helps

Difference between Frame order and service order

Hello guys,
Can anybody tell me the difference between the Frame order and work order in system point of view?

Hi Sam,
Framework order: -
Purchasing document used to procure materials or external services. Instead of stipulating a specific delivery date, this type of purchase order has an extended validity period.
Framework orders are defined via the document type FO. They are used in accelerated procurement processes in connection with maintenance/ servicing plans or invoicing plans, and for blanket purchase orders (purchase orders with limits).
A framework order covers multiple procurement transactions over a longer period in cases where the administrative costs of processing discrete POs would be disproportionately high.
Services Order: -
Used as a means of documenting service and customer service activities
in Logistics - General (LO),, Order comes to
Describes a task which is to be carried out within a company.
The order specifies:
    - which task is to be carried out
    - when the task is to be carried out
    - what is needed to carry out the task
    - how the order costs are to be settled

Difference between Change request and Service request

HI All,
Can any body tell me the actual difference between Change request and Service Request. Does it have any difference ? Or they are same.

Are you referring to the project Specific Terms ??? If yes, then following are the differences.
Change Request - Suppose user is using a Sales Report which displays Revenue by Customer. Now the user wants to see the same by Product as well which is not available in the current report. So the user raises a Change request and the development team works on it to include the same and make it avaialable for the user.
Service Request - These kind of requests are more likely raised when the user needs access to some system (raise service request to Security team), wants to move a transport to the Production box (raise Service request to Basis Team)..etc.

Difference between std procurement and service procurement & advantages?

Dear Gurus,
what are the differences between standard procurement and service procurement &
advantages of External services management?
Thanks...

hi,
In std procurement we procure materials while in the service procurement we procure services...sap has given these two differently may be bacause while procuring the services you never know in advance that how much exact amount is req. just because you don't know for eg wether there is any req. of changing the parts, or general maintenence or anything else...
so due to this you use the value limits....
Advantage: As the services procured are not FIXED as in the std procurement, we do have flexibility for adding up the new services as per the req...
and as we provide the value limits, in the real time scenerio it doesnot cause any FI problem later...

"difference between sales order and scheduling agreement "

hi,
i want to know difference between sales order and scheduling agreement and where use scheduling agreement & where sales order ?
please help
amit

Hi Amit,
Its not hard to find this info at help.sap.com
Sales Order
Definition: Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time. The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
Scheduling Agreements
Purpose
A customer scheduling agreement is an outline agreement with the customer containing delivery quantities and dates. These are then entered as schedule lines in a delivery schedule. You can either create schedule lines when you create the scheduling agreement or you can create them later.
You fulfill a scheduling agreement by creating the deliveries in the schedule as they become due. You process deliveries for a scheduling agreement in exactly the same way as you process a normal delivery. After you have carried out the delivery, the system updates the Delivered quantity field in the scheduling agreement item with the delivery quantity. The following graphic shows the document flow for scheduling agreements.
Integration
You would use this component if you had outline agreements with the customer that contained future delivery quantities of materials that would be sent at certain times within a fixed time period.
If you work with scheduling agreements for the component supplier industry you also need to choose the "Electronic Data Interchange" (EDI) component.

Pricing date for Service Order and Service Confirmation

Hi,
I cretated a Service Confirmation as followup for Service Order.
Client is asking "Pricing Date" should be same Same in Service Order and Service Confirmation. But, I am not seeing any such field in the screen.
I need to check T&C field and Zone field. But, I am not seeing these fields also.
Can you please let me know, where can I find this fields. (In which assignment block).
Thanks,
Sandeep
Edited by: Sandeep Reddy on May 31, 2010 7:21 PM

Hi,
I think by PRICING DATE they mean BILLING DATE.
In date profile of SERVICE ORDER and SERVICE CONFIRMATION you assign the BILLING DATE date type (i think it is there in the standard itself- however just ensure it).
Or customize a PRINCING DATE date type in the DATE PROFILE of SERVICE ORDER and CONFIRMATION and copy the date set in SERVICE ORDER to SERVICE CONFIRMATION.
This is one strategy you can use.

Difference between partner order and partner oject?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
S.Sumana.

Hi Kumar,
coming to customization in between SO(Rush order) and OR(Standard order).
Go to VOV8 T.Code.
The Rush order has the details as "Under Shipping tab",
There will be "X" mark in the immediate delivery .
the Rush order will be having the order related billing.
But the Standard order can be either Order related or Delivery related.
In Standard order after creating the order we are going to create the order we are going to create the delivery by using "VL01n" T.Code.After that we are going to create the billing by using "VF01" T.Code.
Regards,
Mohan.
I think you understood if you need any other info. pls ask.

Difference between process order and Production order

Hi Experts,
Can any buddy tell me the difference between process order and production order. Why process order is used for process industries. Why do we use recipe for it and routing for production order ?
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit
There is a difference between production order and process order.
Supposing a 10,000 lit tank is being manufactured in discrete manufacturing. You have to follow the necessary routing steps and can make by physically seeing its development stage by stage. For this type production you can have a production order.
In case of process of order if some chemical in a reactor is loaded with intial temp of 30 C and need to be heated to 80 C then there is phase change. Hence we use Heating as an operation and the change of temp is phase. For such type of process we process order.
Hope this is useful. Pl reward.

Difference between settlement order and standing order

Can someone state the difference between standing order and settlement order with examples in the organization tab of equioment.

Hi,
Standing Order
Standing orders are used to carry out on-going maintenance jobs and settle them at month end rather than creating a fresh PM order every time. Using order hierarchies, you could attach sub-orders to the standing order and settle them to the standing order to provide you with more precise recording of maint costs at sub-order level as well as a budget monitoring at the standing order level.
Please go through the following link.

Difference between incomplete order and backorder processing

What is the difference between incomplete order and backorder processing.

Hi,
Incomplete order is an order in which all the fileds(To which the Incompletion procedure is assigned) are not filled before saving the sales order.Using backorder processing, you can list sales documents relevant for requirements for particular materials and confirm them manually. You can assign available-to-promise (ATP) stock to outstanding order quantities. In addition, you can withdraw already confirmed quantities and reassign them to different items. This means If the stock of a material has been confirmed to a particular order or delivery, and after that you have recieved an order which ahs to be delivered immediately , then you can change the stock allottment of the previous order to this new order using back order processing. The transaction code for this is "V_RA". Transaction code to see which incompletion procedure is assigned to your sales order type is "VUA2" And to see the Incompletion procedure itself is "OVA2". Kindly please let me know If you need any more information on this.
