Outsourced assignment fields

Service providers : Subcontractors : Field descriptions : Outsourced assignment fields

The contract lines on a subcontractor contract belong to system type 'Outsourced assignments'. This type of contract line shares most of its fields with other contract line types. However, there are several fields that are unique to this type:

Field

Description

Outsourced maintenance proposal

Reference to the outsourced maintenance proposal from which the contract line was generated.

Split group

Reference to the split group that was defined for the properties associated with this contract line.

Adjustable payment schedule?

With this setting, you decide whether you allow flexible payments on subcontractor contracts, or not. The field is set to No by default. See Adjustable payment schedule.

Regular payment frequency?

If Adjustable payment schedule? is set to Yes, this setting becomes relevant. As regular payment intervals are the norm, Yes is selected by default in this field. The commitments are generated with the amounts set to zero. The amounts can later be adjusted freely.

You can allow the use of payments with irregular intervals, by setting this field to No. In that case, no commitments are generated. You must create them manually.

If you select Yes, the number of valid combinations with the values in the Payment frequency and Amount per fields is limited, because the payment frequency cannot be greater than or equal to the 'amount per'. Example: the value selected for a payment frequency Month, with an amount per Year, must be divisible by 12. The combination 12 months for a payment frequency per year is allowed.
