Schedule of Values - Creation during Edit
This help pertains to Creation of a Schedule of Values during the edit of an existing Contract when no Schedule of Values has yet been created.
In order to create the Schedule of Values for an existing Contract, the Contract must be in a status that enables editing, see Contracts - Status.
Creation of the Schedule of Values means setting the Schedule of Values Accounting Method, adding, editing or deleting Line Items and then saving the Contract including the Schedule of Values. Once that occurs the Schedule of Values is created.
Creation applies when no Line Items have been entered on the Schedule of Values. The creation can occur during the edit of an existing Contract - if a Contract was added and saved, but the Schedule of Values wasn't created during the add.
A Schedule of Values once created can still be maintained but the functionality is slightly different as some information can't be changed once line items are added and the Schedule of Values is saved.
- To create the Schedule of Values during the add of a new Contract, see Contract - Schedule of Values - Create During Add.
- To maintain the Schedule of Values during the edit of an existing Contract and where Line Items have already been created, see Contract - Schedule of Values - Maintain.
