Program Description
This program can be found on the Contract Inquiries menu (CN-2-5). This inquiry only appears on the menu if the Contract History or Commitment module is activated in Contract Commitment Control File Maintenance (BI-3-1-18-19).
Rev 15 Changes
There was an old problem with the inquiry if you would go into the Contract History Inquiry portion and returned out the header portion, the Start and Expiration Date may have changed to the Start and Expiration Date on the last Contract History record displayed. This has been corrected.
Item Association was added to the Item Number prompt. If the operator enters an associated item number, the program will display the item that it is associated to.
Rev 14 Changes
When the Contract History inquiry is printed to a printer, the report will form feed between pages and print a heading on every page. Prior to Revision 14, the report did not skip over the perforation on the tracker fed paper.
Rev 13 Changes
Internal changes were made to correct a problem with ending out of the history portion of the inquiry and returning to the contract header information. The contract start and expiration dates would change when returning from the history inquiry to the date range of the history.
Internal changes were also made to include a CNHIST.DT type T in the inquiry (T=Reactivated). This type is assigned to the reactivation of contracts. This feature is only in effect if the Contract History package is activated.
Records prefaced with Reactivation are created in this program. Each history record will contain the following information (CN-2-5).
The following fields are described below:
(Reactivation or Inactivation) Date
This is the system date when the record was created.
Contract
This is the contract number when the record was created.
Group Bill
This is the group bill contract number when the record was created.
Dates
These are the start and expiration dates of the contract when this record was created.
Copy Allow
These are the expiration copies on a billing method 3. The expiration copies will be displayed whether viewing the information for a contract as a whole, the account, or an individual machine on the contract. On a billing method 2, it is the total copies included of all the machines on the contract if the contract is viewed as a whole or as the account. The individual machines copies included will be displayed if the inquiry is accessed for a particular machine. A billing method 1 will print an amount if the machine found in the history has the first quantity break greater than 0 and the first quantity rate at zero. Regardless of the batch bill response, all machines quantity break one with copies with a quantity rate of zero will be added together when viewing the information for a contract as a whole or an account. If a machine is viewed individual, the individual copy information is seen. A billing method 4 will have a zero if the first quantity rate is not a zero.
Base Rate
This is the base rate at the time when the record was created. If there is more than one machine on the contract, this is the total base rate if viewing the information on a contract as a whole or an account. If the machine is viewed individually, that machine’s base will display. A billing method 4 should always have a base of zero since there is no base for this method.
Billing Period-base
This is the billing period of the base and meter when the record was created.
Meter
This is the meter when the record was created (goes with base).
Billing Method
This is the billing method of the contract when the record was created.
