Use this screen to initialize CLIN (Contract Line Item Number) information by project. This information serves as a catalog of items or products available to be used and invoiced on that particular project. CLIN or catalog numbers and descriptions are assigned in this screen. Items from the Basic Part Data, Goods (Materials\Maintain\Items\Goods User Flow), or Services (Materials\Maintain\Items\Services User Flow) screens are linked to each CLIN through the Item Linkage subtask.
This screen consists of one table window and five subtasks. They can be used in the following manner:
The CLINs table window contains fields where you can enter the details of the CLIN. You then link each CLIN to items in the Item Linkage subtask.
Use the Item Linkage subtask to identify the items that you want to link to the CLIN in the main screen.
Use the Project Unit Pricing subtask to enter the from/to quantities, unit price, and start/end dates.
Set up this screen after initializing the ITEM_PROD table. The ITEM_PROD table is maintained through the Basic Part Data, Goods (Materials\Maintain\Items\Goods User Flow), or Services (Materials\Maintain\Items\Services User Flow) screens. You must set it up before you generate automatic product invoices. You should set up this screen before you attempt to enter unit usage data.
You can make changes to this screen at any time.
Use the fields in this table window to identify each CLIN for your project.
Enter the CLIN in this field.
Contract Line Item Description *
Enter a description for the contract line item.
Enter, or use Lookup to select, a valid sales group abbreviation code. You can set up sales group abbreviation codes in the Set Up Sales Group Abbreviations screen.
Enter, or use Lookup to select, a valid inventory abbreviation code. You can set up inventory abbreviation codes in the Inventory Projects screen.
Currency *
Enter, or use Lookup to select, the currency for this CLIN. The default will be your company's functional currency.
This currency code represents the type of currency with which this CLIN will be billed. You can create multiple CLINs for the same item, but with a different currency for each item. In a country like Bermuda, both British pounds and United States dollars are accepted currency, so you can enter a CLIN for one country with different currencies.
Currencies available for Lookup are those saved in the Currencies screen (Administration\Maintain\Multicurrency).
If the currency selected is other than your company's functional currency, enter, or use Lookup to select, the country for this CLIN. This country code represents the country to which this CLIN will be sold. You can create multiple CLINs for the same item, but with a different country for each item.
You can save only those country codes entered and saved in the Countries screen (Administration\Maintain\Codes). A country code is NOT required for CLINs maintained in your functional currency.
* A red asterisk denotes a required field.
