Setting Up Contract Constants
To define default information for the entire system, you set up system constants. Constants control the types of information that you track and the rules that the system uses to perform certain calculations.
Access the Contracts tab of the S/WM System Constants Revisions form.
- Recognize Credit When Entered
Select this option to move the credit amount to recognized revenue. If you disable this option, the credit amount is recognized over the life of the contract.
- Use Base Price
Select this option to specify whether the system uses the base price for pricing a contract for this form.
- Use Contract BU if Responsible BU is Blank
Select this option to specify where the system retrieves the responsible business unit for this form. If the responsible business unit is blank in the location indicated by the Responsible BU Location constant, and if you enable this option, the system uses the responsible business unit from the contract. Otherwise, the system uses the responsible business unit from the location in the constant. If the responsible business unit is not set up for the location indicated by the constant, the system displays an error message.
