Managing Contract Items

Contract items are the priced lines of a contract - spare parts, services and transport costs the supplier has agreed to deliver. They are managed per contract: select an entry in the contract tree and the items assigned to exactly that entry are shown on the Data tab.

Items are sorted by their item number in natural order, so 2 comes before 10 just as in the supplier's price list.

Adding and changing items

The functions are available in the ribbon and in the item list:

• New Item creates an item in the selected contract.
• Edit opens the selected item. A double-click on a row in the item list does the same.
• Delete removes the selected item after a confirmation.

The item editor contains the following fields:

Field	Meaning
Name	Description of the item as agreed in the contract
Type	Additional type or brand information
Item No.	The position number of the item within the contract
Makers Ref.	The manufacturer's part number
Internal No.	Your own reference for the item
Unit	Unit of the agreed price, for example pcs, hour or set
Value / Currency	The agreed unit price and its currency
Description	Free text with further details

Item types

Contract items are distinguished by their type, because a contract usually covers more than spare parts alone:

• Spare part - a physical article delivered under the contract.
• Service - work performed by the supplier, for example service hours on board or in the workshop.
• Transport - travel and transport costs agreed with the supplier.

Finding an item

If you do not know which contract an item belongs to, use the search function described in Finding Contracts and Items.
