Associated contracts

In the Master Contracts application, you can create associated contracts for an approved master contract. Master contracts can have one or more associated contracts, and can contain several contracts of a particular type.

Terms and conditions are not copied to associated contracts. However, when a purchase order references an associated contract, the terms and conditions from the associated contract and master contract are copied to the purchase order.

In the Warranty Contracts application, you can change the start and end dates, authorized sites, commodities, properties for extendable, extension period, and conditions for extension.

Creating associated contracts

In the Master Contracts application, you use the Create Associated Contract action to create an associated contract. When you create an associated contract, the following information is copied from the master contract:
  • Identifier and revision number
  • Vendor information
  • Associated service level agreements
  • Properties for extendable, extension period, conditions for extension
  • Start and end dates
  • Authorized sites
  • Commodities

Viewing associated contracts

In the Master Contracts application, you view associated contracts on the Associated Contracts tab. When you view associated contracts, all contracts that are associated with the master, regardless of the revision of the master contract that you are viewing, are displayed.
