Contract Related Lists: CIs covered vs Contract CIs

[Niclas]

Hello together,

On the Service Contract table [ast_service], there are two Related Lists: Contracts used by  [ast_contract_instance] and Contract CIs [contract_rel_ci]. 

In Paris out of box  Service Contract Form, [ast_contract_instance]  is displayed, but the documentation proposes to use [contract_rel_ci]. This is very confusing. Both support an M2M Relation between Contracts and CIs - so why are there two different tables and which one to use?

Nobody knowing this? 😕

Hi,

This two tables are for different purpose and have different significance.

1) contract_rel_ci : This is part of Service Level Agreement Data Model

2) ast_contract_instance : This is part of Contract management.

Thanks,
Ashutosh
