Extend Service Request Partially 

You can extend an SR partially which means return a few of assets and extend the remaining required assets simultaneously. It's a flexible approach to handle both the extension and return of the assets at the same time. It leads to quick decision and better time management. 

All assets will be pre-selected as per the original asset during the creation of an SR. 

Figure: Assets list

All other assets which were not part of the existing SR or the original asset collection will not be allowed to select. Uncheck the check box for the specific asset which you wish to return.

System displays the following validation message if you attempt to deselect all the pre-selected assets.

"At least one asset should be selected to extend the SR." 

A sample screenshot is shown below:

Figure: Validation Message

The Analyst will be able to view the following records under the Relationship tab. of the Original SR.

• Extended SR 
• Incident created for the returned assets
• All selected assets
