Re:           Roll Contracts

Date:        March 21, 2000

Roll Contracts duplicate existing contracts that will be used in the future. The task searches the contract file for contract numbers containing the current year and month that was indicated and duplicates the contracts changing the existing contract number to match the new year and month indicated. 

 

New contracts will have the contract and completion dates set to the next month and the shipped weight and count fields will be reset to zero.  The Item status on the contract will show as Closed if the contract is closed.

 

The Roll Contracts concept assumes that the last five characters of the contracts to be rolled contain a dash plus the year and month of the contract. (-yymm).

 

Roll Contract Options

 

Current Year and Month – Type in the year and month using yymm format.

 

New Year and Month – Type in the new year and month using yymm format.

 

For Contract Type – From the dropdown list select a Contract Type. 

 

New Contr Date – From a dropdown calendar select the contract date.

 

New Compl Date – From a dropdown calendar select the completion date.

 

New Status – From a dropdown list select the status code.

 

New Hold – From a dropdown list select the reason that the roll contracts are being placed on hold.  The options are Pricing, Weight, Receiving or No if no hold status is applicable.

 

Processing – The Processing window will flash with the contract numbers as each transaction is rolled into a new month/year.
