Creating new contracts from interface records for one supplier
You can create contracts from either the Create New GPO Contracts menu item, or in supplier mapping by selecting the GPO Contracts To Create button. This shows the same list as when you use Create New GPO Contract, but only for one supplier.
- Sign in as Contract Manager.
- Select Contract Interface > GPO Interface > Creation.
- Click Create New Interface Contract. This action is only available when the supplier is mapped.
- Fields that are specified on the contract group are automatically displayed on the Create New Contract Interface page.

Specify this information:

- Select the type of contract.
- Manufacturer
Manufacturer is the most common contract type, therefore it is the default.
- Distributor
Used for distributor direct contracts.
- Service
You can create service contracts that are designated as GPO contracts. Service contracts do not have items/lines in the GPO data. Lines are added later.
- Multi Tier Distributor
Used for distributor direct contracts with multiple tiers. These are created in Contract Management as manufacturer contracts to allow for the handling of multiple tiers. Multi Tier Distributors are not associated with distributor contracts. Unlike other GPO related manufacturer contracts, multi tier distributor contracts can have both tier costs and tiers with markups.
