Service
The service object contains information about a service record.
Generally speaking, services are for non-tangible things like labor and transport. Products are for physical things that you rent and sell.
Take care not to confuse services with bookable resources. Your company supplies a service; bookable resources are people, vehicles, or venues who fulfil that service.
