In Business Central, the term "service item" refers to equipment or items that require service. When you create a service order, you specify the items that need service. In the order, you can link a service item to an item in inventory or a service item group.
When you receive an item that needs service, you can register it as a service item. There are several ways to do so. For example, you can create a service item on the Service Items page, or as part of another process, such as when working with a service order.
