      {
       line_item_id = Service_Line_Item.toMap().get("id");
       line_item_id_list.add(line_item_id);
      }
      data = {"data":{{"Work_Order":Work_Order_Id,"$Service_Line_Items":line_item_id_list,"$finance_data":{"discount_preference":{"Adjustment":0}}}}};

      contactResp = zoho.fsm.getRecordById("Contacts",contact_id);
      contactData = contactResp.get("data").toMap();

      email_list = list();
