Configuring contract menus


The BMC Service Level Management  contract object integrates with the contracts module in the BMC Helix ITSM: Asset Management application. Configuring contract menus helps define Asset Contract Categorization for company types and company terms.

This information comes with the application as sample data. You can configure the sample contract menus by selecting the menu type. You can select from Company, Organization, Department, Contract Terms, Cost Center, Supplier Name, Supplier Organization, Supplier Group, Notification Group and Notification Contact. The sample data is stored in the form called SLM:SampleContractMenus where you can look up contracts. If you have different menus that you want to point to the Company, Supplier, or other items, you must change the data in this form. If BMC Helix ITSM: Asset Management is installed, the data in this form automatically reflects corresponding menus.
