Contract Line Types

Use the Manage Contract Line Types task to rename the types of lines available for selection when you create contract types. This optional implementation task is available in the Setup and Maintenance work area as part of the Enterprise Contracts offering in the Procurement Contracts functional area.

Line Types

Line types are names you give to the contract lines.

Associate each line type name with one of the fixed set of predefined line sources. A line source determines what item you can enter in a contract line and enables functionality of one of the integrated applications to that line. For example, project line sources expose Oracle Fusion Projects fields in contracts and make it possible for contract authors to relate lines to projects. Buy sources make it possible to create contract deliverables for the line and use those contract deliverables to create and manage purchase orders and purchase agreements in Oracle Fusion Purchasing or other integrated purchasing systems.

The application includes a set of predefined line type names for all available line sources. You may create additional names for use in different contract types. The predefined line types names are the same as the line source names they're associated with.

Line Type Sources

The application includes these predefined line type sources, which you can't modify or extend. If you don't enable the Use external item master option, you can create only those line type sources as described in this table:
