Durations

• Note, this menu option is only visible when Purchase Orders is enabled in Admin>Setup>Billing.

• Note, within the Help Desk application this option is found within Supervisor>Service tab. 

The Durations menu is used to configure periods of time used for warranty and lease durations. They appear as a drop-down list when a default Warranty Service Level Agreement (SLA) is assigned to an Item Type. The duration selected determines the length of the warranty period.

Within Purchase Orders, the Lease Durations appear when a PO is created for leased Items, to specify the lease period.  

Within the Duration menu, a number of default durations exist. These can be edited or new durations created.
