Sales document type used to control service contract processing. There are two service contract types in the standard SAP System:

• Rental contract (MV)
• Maintenance contract (WV)

These service contract types are defined in Customizing for Sales and Distribution under Sales ® Sales Documents ® Sales Document Header ® Define Sales Document Types. You can create service contract types that meet the requirements of your organization by copying the existing service contract types and adapting them as required.

In addition to defining the usual control data for sales document types, you also specify contract-specific data in the service contract type such as:

• Pricing procedure for determining prices for service tasks and service products
• Service contract profile containing default data for service contract processing
• Billing request type for resource-related billing
