          Start Date

          The first day the service contract is in effect.*

          This field is blank unless you set up an Apex trigger or quick action to populate it. For example, you can create a quick action that sets the Start Date to the date when the Status changes to Active.

          Status

          The status of the service contract.

          Status is determined by your organization’s current system date and the service contract’s Start Date and End Date. The status is:

          • Active if the system date is equal to or later than the Start Date and equal to or earlier than the End Date.
          • Expired if the system date is later than the End Date.
          • Inactive if the system date is earlier than the Start Date.
          Status Icon

          Represents the service contract’s status with one of the following icons:

          • Active status icon Active
          • Expired status icon Expired
          • Inactive status icon Inactive
          Subtotal Total of the service contract line items (products) before discounts, taxes, and shipping are applied. (Read only)
          Tax Total taxes for the service contract. This is a currency field, so enter the amount, not percentage. For example, enter $10.50.
          Term (months)

          Number of months that the service contract is in effect.

          This field is independent of the Start Date and End Date values. Depending on how your business uses service contracts, you may choose to hide the Term field or set up data validation that populates the End Date when a Term is specified, for example.

          Total Price Total of the contract line items (products) after discounts and before taxes and shipping. (Read only)

          *Service contracts have four date fields. Created Date is the date the service contract was created in Salesforce, so it’s the earliest of the dates. Activation Date is the date that it was first activated for an account or customer. Finally, Start Date represents the date the service contract was put into effect or last renewed, while End Date is the last date the service contract is in effect. Start Date and End Date are blank by default, but you can create Apex triggers that populate these fields based on other service contract fields like Status.
