Entering Log Information

Access the Work With Logs form.

Enter log information to identify information that is relevant to an order. The system provides you with multiple detail lines in which you can enter log information. After you enter log information, you can enter descriptive text for each line item within the log. You can also delete any of the log information for a contract.

Status Code

Enter a code that specifies whether the requirements for the log line were satisfied. Values are:

Blank: The requirements were not satisfied, the log line is not active, or no status is required.

Y: The requirements were satisfied.

N: The requirements were not satisfied.

Pay Effect

Enter a code that indicates whether the submittal requirement is of such importance that regular payments to the subcontractor can be suspended if the submittal requirement is not properly satisfied. This code is normally used with submittal log entries. Values are:

Y: Issue warning messages if log requirements are not met.

N: Do not issue warning messages.

If Pay Effect is set to Y, various warning messages can appear during progress payment entry when outstanding log requirements exist.

The outstanding log warning is set up in the Pay Effect field. For an outstanding log warning to occur, the status of the log must be N, the Pay Effect field must be set to Y, and the required and expired dates must be earlier than the system date. The system also checks for all log types in the Outstanding Log Types UDC (43/OL).
