When adding, editing or viewing Contracts, there are multiple components. See Contract – New - Form Layout and Navigation or Contract – View/Edit - Form Layout and Navigation for more information.
The Contract General component is where the general or core details of the Contract are entered.
The General component is displayed by default when the Add or View/Edit function is initiated. This is a longer component that can be navigated by scrolling up and down.
It is separated into sections, with each section having a heading highlighted in blue:
- General Information - general details, see Contracts - Add/Edit/View - General Information.
- Additional Information - this only displays if custom fields have been setup, see Contracts - Add/Edit/View - Additional Information.
- Contract Dates - dates pertaining to the Contract, see Contracts - Add/Edit/View - Contract Dates
- Inclusions & Exclusions - Terms regarding specific inclusions or exclusions on the Contract, see Contracts - Add/Edit/View - Inclusions and Exclusions.
- Attachments - general files associated with the contract, see Contracts - Add/Edit/View - Attachments.
- Signed Documents - upload files that are signed for reference purposes, Contracts - Add/Edit/View - Signed Documents.
- Executed Documents - upload files that are executed for reference purposes, see Contracts - Add/Edit/View - Executed Documents.
For a New Contract, all the details on the Contract General component can be added.
For Editing a Contract, the Contract General component details can only be changed if Contracts are in certain Status. See Contracts - Status for more information.
The System Administrator can turn on/off display of a majority of fields on the General Component and whether or not a field is required (to align to the process for the organization). See Settings - Contract Settings - Contract Core Field Setting for more information.
The only field required from the system perspective, is the Client and the display of this can not be turned off.
Any other field marked with an asterick is a required field (as set by the system or the System Administrator).
Sync to ERP
If it is an approved Contract and if the option to sync to the ERP is enabled, there will be a button to sync to the ERP system.
