Core TSIs : Contracts : Working with Contracts : Adjusting contract prices using indexation : Indexing contract prices
Indexing contract prices
You can index contract prices in Planon.
Procedure
1. Go to Contracts > Contract lines.
2. Select the relevant contract line(s).
3. Select the required indexation method in the Indexation method field.
4. Enter the date of the first indexation in the Next indexation date field.
5. Activate the contract line(s).
The indexation method is registered from the start date of the contract line. In cases where the contract line has not yet been indexed, you can adjust the next indexation date. Once indexed, Planon will automatically calculate the next indexation date.
6. Go to the Contracts selection level, select the contract(s) for which you want to index prices.
If you want to index a large set of contracts, you can perform the indexation as a background action. In the Indexed up to and incl. field, select a date that applies to all contracts. For more information on the actions that can be run as a background action for contracts, see Using background actions.
7. On the action panel, click Index.
The Enter values window is displayed. By default, the last day of the current month is selected in the Indexed up to and incl. field. Click OK if you want to use this date.
8. To select another date, click Icon depicting a calendar in the Indexed up to and incl. field.
The date picker appears.
9. Select the required date.
* 
You can also index individual contract lines until a specific indexation date. To do this, go to the Contract lines selection level, select the relevant contract line(s) and click the Index action. Planon will retain the Indexed up to and incl.: date for each contract line.
All contract lines linked to the selected contract(s) are now indexed up to and including this date.
* 
If you prefer not to use the built-in indexing feature, you can also manually add amounts in Planon that have been indexed by another tool or application. The Add indexed amount manually action allows you to directly register a new amount on a specific reference date. For more information, see Manually adding an indexed amount.
