PeopleSoft Supplier Contract Management provides document reports that you can use or tailor to meet organizational needs. The reports provide summary and detailed document information along with where clauses and sections are used, if they have been changed, or if they have not been used since a date that you specify. The reporting system makes it easy to access, tailor, run, and view the reports.

You can run the reports from the run control pages of the PeopleSoft Supplier Contracts Reports menu. The system builds the reports using XML Publisher. To create the reports you do not need to use PeopleCode, and there are not any custom pages required to run the reports.

Note. To enable users access to Supplier Contract Management reports, you need to define users and roles as SCMTUSER users on the Report Category page. To access the page, select Reporting Tools, XML Publisher, Setup, Report Category and then search for the SCMTUSER report category. After accessing the Report Category page, you can specify the roles or users that you want to run and have access to report pages. If the SCMTUSER report category is not available, you can add the value.

Valid values include:

Ad hoc: A stand-alone document that is not associated with a transaction. When you select this value, the system displays the Ad Hoc ID field and ad hoc ID from and to fields.

Document Status Detail (CS_DOC_STAT2)

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicCreating Contract Content Deviations Reports

Access the Contract Content Deviations page (Supplier Contracts, Reports, Contract Content Deviations).

You use this page to run the Contract Content Deviation report (CS_OBJ_DEV_1) process. The report provides a listing of documents having deviations based on the document objects selected, and that have been manually modified within documents as of the date that you specify. So, this report enables you to identify which contracts have deviations against the type of content for which you want to search, such as highly sensitive terms and conditions.

The system tracks changes made to documents for all objects within that document based on when the document was last checked in, not when each individual change was made. For example, if you update an object one day and check it in, and then a different object in the same document is changed later in the day, and checked in, both objects will show the same last modified date. The last modified date always reflects the last time the entire document was checked in.

Note. Documents will only appear in this report if they have manual changes that were made directly to the newly created or copied document. So, for example if users update a document, and then you create a new document using the Copy From Contract link of the first document, the newly created document will not appear in the Contract Content Deviations report. This is because those changes were not made directly to the new document but were instead made by copying in the entire document.

Report Template

Use this group box to define template information for the report.

Template ID

Select a template for use with the report. The Contract Content Deviations report has three different template views. They are:

  • CS_OBJ_DEV_1: Content Deviation: This view is sorted by library setID, content type, content ID, and then transaction keys (setID/business unit, ad hoc ID/contract ID/purchase order ID). This view provides the full text of a modified section or clause.

  • CS_OBJ_DEV_2: Content Deviation Summary: This view is similar to the Content Deviation report (CS_OBJ_DEV) and has the same sort methods, but does not have the full text of modified sections or clauses.

  • CS_OBJ_DEV_3: Content Deviation by Contract: This view has the same information as the Content Deviation report (CS_OBJ_DEV) but is sorted by transaction keys (setID/business unit, ad hoc ID/contract ID/purchase order ID), then by library setID, content type, and content ID.

Library Object Selection Criteria

Use this group box to define objects from the contract library on which to build the Contract Content Deviations report. To define document-level values for the report use the Document Selection Criteria group box.

Library SetID

Select a library setID.

Incl Add/Del Library Content (include additions and deletions to library content)

Click to include library content that has been manually added or deleted for documents in the report. When this check box is deselected, the system only includes changes that have been manually made to existing document objects.

Clause or Section

Select to build the report for clauses or for sections. If you leave the field blank, both clauses and sections are included in the report. If you select Section, the Class Name and Approval Type fields are not available.

Class Name

Select a clause class name to which you want to limit the report. You use classes that require workflow approvals for the clause definition or within documents. When you select a class, the system only includes modified documents in the report that include clauses that have been updated within that class.

Approval Type

Select an approval type to which you want to limit the report. An approval type is a part of the workflow process and controls approvers for the clause approval process and document approval process. When you select an approval type, the system only includes modified documents that include clauses that have been updated within that approval type.

Document Selection Criteria

Use this group box to define document report criteria. The system uses these values along with the library object selections to create the Contract Content Deviation report. Depending on the source transaction that you select, the system provides additional fields on which to base the search.

Include Only In-Process Docs

Click to exclude documents in an Executed or Complete status from the report. When the check box is deselected, documents will be included in the report regardless of the Executed or Complete status.
