Manage interfaced GPO contracts
This action can be scheduled to run as frequently as necessary. This action is typically performed after data from the GPO is updated.
Cost updates
When the cost updating processes are complete, manufacturer and distributor contracts that are in an active state will have lines that are available for cost defaulting.
Use these options to automatically update information on contracts.

| Auto Update Contracts | This option is selected by default. If you clear this check
box, you must run the Interfaced Contracts actions manually for each contract
interface.
