The Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) Table contains a list of all the Contract Line Items in the project's contract. CLINs summarize WBS tasks. The CLIN Table also contains descriptions, quantity, and reference codes for each CLIN to be reported. To define CLINs, you use the Contract Line Items window.
The CLIN Table is used for providing data needed in government reports, much like the headers and thresholds (see Reports for details).
The MPM government reports which utilize the CLIN Table are:
SF 1411 Report (includes quantity and reference codes)
DD 1921 Report (includes element codes as defined in RFPs)
CLIN/SOW/WBS Report (must be linked to the WBS)
Defining CLINs is described in Creating the Contract Line Item Numbers.
