| Contract Type Code |
Enter a contract type code. There are 14 Costpoint-defined contract type codes that display automatically in this field. You cannot modify or delete these codes. Costpoint-defined codes are as follows:
For user-defined codes, once the code is assigned to a contract or subcontract, you will not be able to delete it on this screen. |
| Contract Type Description | Enter a description for new contract type codes. For existing codes, you can modify this field for both user- and system-defined contract type codes. |
| Show in Lookup |
This check box is selected by default for both user- and system-defined contract type codes, but you can modify it. Keep it selected to display the contract type code in the lookup of the Contract Type field on the Manage Contracts screen, and in the lookup of the Subcontract Type field on the Manage Subcontracts screen. Only those codes that are available in the lookup can be used for new records in Manage Contracts and Manage Subcontracts. If you clear this check box for a code that was already used in an existing record in Manage Contracts or Manage Subcontracts, you will still be able to save that record as long as you do not replace the contract type code for that record. |
| Source | This field displays System (system-defined code) or User (user-defined code). You cannot modify this field. |
