AAIs for Specific Contract Cost Types (CT)

Use this AAI to determine the allowable cost types (objects) for the contracts.

You must follow these guidelines when you set up CT AAIs:

  • The first two characters must be CT.

  • The second two characters indicate the contract type, such as OS and OP.

    You must create a separate CT AAI for each contract type. You must also define the contract types in the UDC table for document types (00/DT).

  • The last two characters must be a numeric value from 01 to 99.

    This value uniquely identifies each valid cost type within the contract type.

  • Do not assign company, business unit, or subsidiary to the CT AAIs.

If you define multiple CT AAIs for a contract type, the system does not supply a cost type. You must enter a cost type for each commitment. The system compares the cost type that you enter against the CT AAIs for the contract type to ensure that the cost type is valid.
