Understanding Contract Amendments

If you set the Display Amendments on Update processing option for the Contract Workbench program (P43C00), every time that a contract header, block, or harvest is revised, the system logs the user ID and date on which the revision was made. You can review this log on the Amendments form, which is a media object. You can also use the Amendments form to add text to describe revisions. For example, you might add text to describe why you changed the contract and who approved the change or to explain why you issued a manual payment outside of the general contract terms.

You can access the Amendments form in either of these ways:

  • Click the link for Add Amendments (or Edit Amendments) from the contract header, block, or harvest record.

  • Set a processing option so that the system automatically displays the form when the system saves a contract header, block, or harvest record.
