Adding distributions to contracts

Contract lines can be distributed against a specific expense, department, or both. In Contract Management, distributions are required for standing and service type contracts and are optional for blanket, catalog, and contract type agreements.

When you add a distribution, the default values are used in the purchase orders and requisitions that were created against the agreement.

Distributions can also be created by using predefined distribution codes from Payables. When using distribution codes, you can specify the code at either a contract or contract line level.

Note: For distributions that are created through a header commitment, the information cannot be changed.

Select Manage Contracts.
Select a contract to which you want to add a distribution.
Click the Lines tab and select the contract line to perform the distribution.
On the Distributions tab, click Create.
Specify this information:

Distribution Account

Select the account and optionally a subaccount to which to apply the line distribution.

Percent

Specify the percent of the contract line to distribute to a specific company, dimension, or account.
If you do not specify a percent, then a default value of 100% is used.
Click Save.
In the Contract Line Distribution section, the accounting information that you selected is displayed in the list.
