Contract Details Tab

Use the fields in this tab to enter contact information for the project and other information codes. The incurred cost submission code is entered in this tab as well as the contract year and the PLC for wage determination selection.

Allow Edit

These checkboxes are displayed at all levels of a project, and control the ability to modify the selection of certain key information about the project. During setup of a project, information that is entered cascades down to lower levels and defaults in automatically, regardless of the value of the Allow Edit checkbox. The checkbox simply determines whether the default can be modified at the lower levels.

If you clear the Allow Edit checkbox at any level of a project, all lower-level Allow Edit checkboxes are cleared accordingly. (This means that the ability to restrict edits of data cascades down automatically from the level at which it was originally restricted). However, if you select a checkbox after having been previously cleared it, the modification does not cascade down to lower levels. You must modify them one at a time.

Incurred Cost Submission Code

Use this drop-down list to select the applicable incurred cost submission code if the project entered is a top-level project. Valid options are:

  • COMM

If you selected the Allow Edit checkbox at the top level, you can select any code. However, if you did not select the Allow Edit checkbox, you cannot modify the default top-level code.

The drop-down list displays the categories of projects contained on Schedule H of the Incurred Cost Submission. If the Require Incurred Cost Submission Code for All Projects checkbox is selected on the Projects tab of the Configure Project Settings screen, this field is required for all projects. All projects, including those other than government contracts, must be shown on the Incurred Cost Submission.

If the Require Incurred Cost Submission Code for All Projects checkbox is not selected, this field is not required.

CAS Covered

Select this checkbox if Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) are applicable to the project selected.

Select this checkbox if the project entered is a top-level project. If the project entered is not a top-level project, the default value of the selection from the top-level project displays. If you selected the Allow Edit checkbox at the top level, you can make any selection. However, if you did not select the Allow Edit checkbox, you cannot modify the default top-level selection.

Include in Aggregate Volume

If you select this checkbox, this project is included in the aggregate volume funding computation. The volume of business is based on total funded value by customer. Costpoint determines which projects have the Include in Aggregate Volume checkbox selected in this screen and then retrieves projects with the same customer from the PROJ table. Then it sums the total amount funded for that customer to determine what aggregate volume of business must be used to determine the discount percentage that needs to apply. The default for this checkbox is cleared.

Note: You can include any project in the funding computation even if the project does not use discount methods on the Manage Project Billing Information screen or the Manage Revenue Information screen.

If your discount method is Aggregate Volume by Customer or Aggregate Volume by Customer w/Burden, the Calculate Standard Bills screen and the Compute Revenue screen compute discounts based on aggregate volume using the discount percentage from the Manage Customer Volume Discounts screen. If your discount method is Aggregate Volume by Project or Aggregate Volume by Project w/Burden, they use the discount percentage from the Manage Project Volume Discounts screen.

Select the Allow Edit checkbox to enable modifications of this flag at this project's lower level tasks.

However, if the Allow Edit checkbox is cleared, you cannot modify the default top-level From (Month/Day) date.
