NTE Rule (not-to-exceed rule)

Complete this field if you selected the Not To Exceed Control check box on the Billing Constants program (P48091).

Leave this processing option blank if no NTE rule is specified.

Enter 2 if the NTE limit applies to invoice and revenue amounts at this level.

Enter 3 if the NTE limit applies to revenue amounts at this level. If invoice processing exceeds the limit, the system issues a warning.

Enter 4 if the NTE limit applies to invoice amounts at his level. If revenue processing exceeds the limit, the system issues a warning.

NTE Amt (not-to-exceed amount) or NTE Foreign Amt (not-to-exceed foreign amount)

Complete this field if you selected the Not To Exceed Control check box on the Billing Constants program (P48091).

Enter the maximum billing amount. You can specify not-to-exceed amounts for:

Whether you complete the NTE Amt field or the NTE Foreign Amt field depends on the currency mode of the contract.
