Summary
When selling units, you may wish to sell a service plan to your customer at the time so that it can be drawn upon in the workshop when their unit is serviced. The following article explains how you do this in Platinum.

To do this, follow this article and link that to a new sales centre on the Nominal Ledger (You may need to speak to your accountant for advice on what numbers to use and what nominal category to set this to e.g. Balance sheet - asset\liability for nominal payment centres). This will record all the sales of the service plans for you.

Create a stock code that is stamped with the sales centre created in the above step. Ensure that this is flagged as a non-moving part.
Finally, you will need a new internal account setup to record the sales of the workshop jobs. Follow this article on how to do this, and on the invoicing tab of the account, ensure that in the payment field, the cost of sales centre created above goes in there.
In Use
When you create your unit sales order, on the [Accessories] tab, enter in your stock code created above for the service plan and enter in a sales price for the service plan.
Follow the sales order through the usual route and convert to an invoice as normal.
Workshop
When the unit comes into the workshop for its service, add a job as normal, adding the customer in the keeper field and ensuring that the invoice account is the internal account created in the above step.
Add all necessary parts and labour and invoice the job off as normal.
