Associate a contract to a contract interface record

When a manufacturer contract record already exists for the contract interface record, you can use the link to contract action to associate the two.

When the contract interface is linked to a manufacturer contract, contract interface lines is set to update. The Process Contract Line updates action is automatically run to ensure that the prices on the contract are current. You can find these records on the GPO Interface Contracts Needing Action tab. Set Line Updates Available For Processing to Yes and click Search.

When a line on the contract interface record is not found on the contract, the update function is set to create. You must review these records and manually run the process line updates action to load them to the contract.

The associated distributor contract number and distributor pricing code are updated and displayed on the distributor record if these are true:

• A distributor contract record is associated with the linked manufacturer contract.
• The linked distributor contract has the same supplier number as the distributor record on the contract interface record.
