Universal Containers wants to implement Service LevelAgreements (SLA) for Work Orders. Which three considerations should the Consultant take into…

When implementing SLAs for Work Orders, several components are critical. Entitlements define the specific support level a customer is eligible for and can be associated with Accounts, Contacts, or Assets. Business Hours are crucial as they define the timeframes during which SLAs are active, ensuring calculations for compliance are based on operational hours. Finally, Milestones are the core mechanism for tracking SLA adherence, with statuses like 'Compliant' and 'Violated' providing clear visibility into performance against the agreed service levels. These three elements form the foundation of SLA management in Field Service.

While it's true that Milestones apply to Work Orders and not Work Order Line Items, the other three options represent the foundational components required to build the SLA process itself.

Standard SLA functionality is configured declaratively using Entitlement Processes and Milestones; it does not require custom Apex triggers for its basic operation.
