Service Agreement 
A long-term outline agreement between business partners in which conditions, such as prices, and releasable products are defined. These conditions and products are valid for all service contracts or service orders that are created with reference to the service agreement.
Unlike service contracts (value/quantity), service agreements contain no target values or target quantities.
Note
You cannot replicate service agreements using SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC).
Service agreements make it possible for service providers to create long-term outline agreements with information about prices and services that are valid for certain business partners or a certain group of business partners.
Service agreements may include the following predefined data:
Services
Service Level Agreements
Follow-up activities
Price agreements
Billing
Service providers can create follow-up transactions such as those below with reference to service agreements:
Service order quotations
Service orders
Service contract quotations
Service contracts

The following settings are relevant for defining service agreements:

In the business partner master, you can assign one default service agreement to a business partner. To do so, in the business partner role Sold-To Party, call up the business partner and the different sales area data.
The service agreements and sales agreements that exist for this business partner in the system appear in the Sales area of the screen. You can also set one sales agreement or service agreement as the default.
Default setting: No service agreements.
You can create a service agreement for a business partner type, without specifying a certain sold-to party. This means that the agreement is valid for all business partners who are assigned to the corresponding partner type, and for whom the corresponding sales area data was processed.
These transactions are also considered during agreement determination.
If a service order is created with reference to a service contract, which in turn is a follow-up transaction of a service agreement, the service order is only checked against the service contract, but not against the service agreement.
