Contracts

You create contracts for the subcontractors on jobs. Contracts specify details such as the contractor information, work to be done, contract commitments, dates, log items, such as submittals and transmittals, and so on. A submittal is information a subcontractor must provide to you. A transmittal is information you must provide to a subcontractor. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Subcontract Management system offers you these features to make the work with contracts as efficient as possible:

Contract Features	Description
Multiple contract types	You can manage a variety of contract types, including: Construction contracts Maintenance contracts Professional service contracts Fabrication contracts Encumbered cost contracts
Base agreement processing	You can create base agreements. A base agreement enables you to set up various jobs so that you do not have to specify distribution commitments for each job individually. This helps you manage contracts in which you have various categories of jobs, but with jobs in each category having identical costs.
Contract reporting	You can process a variety of reports regarding contracts. These reports can indicate: Payment status information by supplier, job, or contract. Log information. Unit price information. Committed cost information, integrating data from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Subcontract Management systems.
Change order updating	Change orders direct the system to change the amount of money committed to a contract. You can create and update change orders easily. Change orders can standalone or be rolled into the original contract for payment.
Supplemental data tracking	Many contracts require supplemental information in addition to the basic contract information. This information can be in the form of submittals, transmittals, and other user-defined log types. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Subcontract Management system provides these capabilities for managing supplemental data: You can track the completion and receipt of submittals and transmittals. You can report on deficient submittal information that is associated with a contract commitment. You can automatically update submittal status and transmittal status You can withhold progress payments against a contract because of expired logs. In addition, you can enter extended textual information regarding supplemental data and run reports about various log entries. You can also set up a model log entry for each contract type on the system, and then copy and revise those models in the actual contracts.
Contract inquiries	You can review this contract information: Up-to-the-minute payment status details by amount, units, or unit cost. Online log status details and update. Open order details on remaining commitments. Online budget comparisons. Contract searches.
