The contract feature in ITPF was anxiously awaited in my organization so I jumped on it as soon as it got released last week. 3 bus days later I got it done. I'm very pleased with how it works, and just wanted to share a few tips to help others with implementation:
- You will need to reload all the reference data files (except the custom dimension reference data files you may have)
- All the contract elements have to be marked as "CONTRACT" in the type column in the load file
- The summary plan view does not have the contract and asset tabs. There is nothing wrong!. These only appear in the line item tab
Once loaded the tool provides an easy view of the contracts that cost center managers can now work with to narrow the disconnects with the sourcing group.
Hope these help
