2. STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION
2.1. Principles
Two main Service Category codes can be found on Rhodia Legacy:
- Generic service (SERV) – This point to a generic services article.
1 purchasing family = 1 generic article file.
Their No. begins on 100000 in RCS. - Specific service (ZSER) - Is a service record used to purchase a frame control delivery to the task or package. The description is generic for multiple uses and can be changed in the command.
Their registration in RCS begins on No. 300000.
2.2. SBS scope and necessary information
A new record is created for each service that needs a new type of service or for a service type using a different unit code of an existing service (time, unit of work ...)
These services codes are used to pass commands type "FO" (benefits) in RCS.
SBS processes these applications on a global scope.
The requester needs to fill the excel template for services creation and send to SBS D&A Team.
