Maintenance contracts and associated information may be moved or copied from one contract to another using this utility. The customer name, location, and contract number may also be changed.
The copy option copies the information of an existing contract to a new contract. The move option permanently changes the customer name, location, or contract number of a contract. In addition, the move option moves only calls assigned to the contract being moved when the call date falls within the date range, and only moves MC and MCC calls.
