Create a Master Contract

Master contract is a contract which can contain master and demand contract items. It is a contract whose 'Contract Header Type' has attribute 'Show Position Type on Contract Item' = 'True'.

1. Open a catalog of contracts ('Contracts All', 'Contracts by Vendor', 'My Contracts', 'My Special Contracts' in standard Contract Manager sidebar).
2. Right-click in the catalog and call the 'Create' action.
3. The 'New: Contract' editor opens.
4. Fill in contract attributes:
   • Attributes 'Contract No.' and 'Vendor' are mandatory, see topic 'Create a contract' for details.
   • Make sure that attribute 'Contract Header Type' = 'Master Contract'.

     Selecting 'Master Contract' enables the 'position' functionality in contract items belonging to the contract. If contract attribute 'Contract Header Type' = 'Master Contract', then it is possible to specify its contract items position (Master, Demand or Standard).

   • Fill in other attributes as appropriate.

At this point it is possible to proceed to the creation of Master and Demand contract items.
