Amendment Statuses

Amendment status controls when amendment data can be entered into the system, when the system can process an amendment, and when an amendment becomes effective. An amendment may hold one of the following four statuses:

Field or Control	Description
Pending	This status appears by default when an amendment is first created. All fields on a contract that are available for amendment processing are editable. Only one pending amendment is allowed at a time for a contract. Amendments in Pending status are not selected for processing by the Amendments process.
Ready	Manually set the amendment status to Ready after you have completed your amendment data entry and are ready to process the amendment. Only one ready amendment is allowed at a time for a contract. Only amendments in Ready status are selected for processing by the Amendments process. After an amendment is set to Ready status and saved, the system performs the following edit checks: The amount allocation option is set to Complete if the amendment included the addition or price modifications of amount-based contract lines. Accounting distributions contain valid ChartField combinations for any amount-based contract lines that were added.
Complete	If the amendment is set to Ready status and the amendment date is equal to or before the process date on the amendment run control, the system: Creates any amended events as needed. Places any billing and revenue plans associated with amount-based contract lines that are canceled or for which the fixed price amount is changed, placed on hold, and sets them to a status of Action Required. Updates the amendment status to Complete. Displays the amended items in the current version of the contract.
Cancelled	Manually set a pending or ready amendment to Cancelled. After an amendment is canceled, it cannot be modified or reset to pending or ready status. To cancel an amendment that has already been processed, create a new amendment and reverse the changes made in the prior amendment.
