Contract Number

The contract number that you entered appears at the top of the page. If automatic numbering is enabled and you select a value of NEXT, the system generates a contract number. The contract number is a unique number used to identify a contract. The parameters that you establish for a contract number affect all components of the contract.

Contract Status

Displays a user-defined value that provides a visual indicator of where the contract is within the contract life cycle. This element also controls what processing can occur against the contract. When you define a new contract, the default contract status that you established appears; you can select a different contract status. If you select a contract status that is mapped to a different contract processing status, the system performs edit checking to ensure that the contract is eligible for the new processing status that you selected.
