I responded to the Product that is a service. so the difference is this ia no longer an asset of the company but belongs now to the customer and the service is provided by the company, to the customer. like selling a car with a service contract. The contract (agreement) then determine when and what services will be provided.
To stop duplication, the assetmaint entities and code should be made generic then association to support the assetmain be done. What I am addressing is the scheduling of the service to the product sold. Though in an agreement, the actual maintenance process is run by the generic service code with supporting types.
