ContractServiceAdjustment

IMPORTANT  The SOAP API entered a limited enhancement phase in Q4 2020. Access to version 1.6 will be deactivated.

This entity describes an adjustment to the quantity of units of a ContractService entity that are added to a Recurring Service type Contract. It can only be created; it CANNOT be queried or updated.

In Autotask, users specify the number of Service Units associated with a Contract through the Contracts module when creating or managing a Recurring Service type Contract: Contracts module > Contracts > New Recurring Service Contract, or Contracts module > Contracts > Search Contracts > Open Contract > Services.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN  It's important to understand how Recurring Service Contracts interact with Autotask and influence other entities. Before you use the API to create or manage this type of contract, we recommend that you read our Adding a recurring service contract article. Then, review the Conditions and requirements and Special field attributes sections of this article to get started.

Conditions and requirements

General

  • Resources with security levels that specify limited or no contract visibility cannot create, update, or query this entity.
