  The Supporting documents section has been added to the Vendor contract summary page.

  

  To add a supporting document, vendors click the Add icon.

  The Add supporting document dialog box opens. The vendor can then add the document information and the document or link and then click the Submit button.

  

  If you have configured a placeholder for a document type, the placeholder shows on the Vendor contract summary page. The vendor can hover over the caution symbol and click the Add document link to add the document for the document type.

  

  After the vendor submits the documents to Contract, any document they added to a line with a placeholder fills the placeholder in Contract.

  After the document is submitted to Contract, it shows in your Supporting documents tab. A badge in the Supporting documents tab heading shows the number of supporting documents that require attention.

  

  The Vendor document status column has been added to the column chooser for the Supporting documents tab. When you add the column to the register, you can quickly identify vendor documents. Vendor-submitted documents have a status of Pending, Received, Declined, or Recalled.

  A new vendor-submitted document has a status of Pending. You can open the document to view it. You can then receive the document or decline it to send it back to the vendor for revision.

  The Received/Declined button has been added to the Supporting documents page. To receive or decline a pending document, select it, and then click the Received/Declined button.

  

  The Receive/Decline supporting document wizard opens. Review the details on the first page and then click Next. The Received/Decline page opens. Click Received to accept the document or Decline to decline it.

  

  The Document status column on the Vendor contract summary page lets the vendor view the status of the Document in Contract. If the document has not yet been received in Contract, the user can recall it by double-clicking the document to open the Edit supporting document dialog box and then clicking the Recall button.

  

• Unpublished contracts on Vendor contract summary page – Unpublished documents now show on the Vendor contract summary page, so vendors can attach all the required documents needed for the contract to be published.

• Payment claims To-date certified – The To-date certified field has been added to the Payment claims banner, so you can easily see the total amount of payment claim certifications on the parent contract. Read more

  

  The to-date certified value is a snapshot of the values at the time of certification. The value does not include the amounts for payment claims that were certified after the current claim was certified.

• Payment forms Add schedule item new columns and date filters – The Line item WBS code, Summary progress quantity, Summary progress value, custom list, and custom label fields have been added to the Payment forms Add schedule item dialog box. Date filters have been added to the dialog box, so you can filter the Summary progress value and Summary progress quantity fields based on the dates they were claimed. Read more

  

• New columns in Line items tab Budget and commitment section – The Uncommitted remaining cost, Pending budget, and Final forecast columns have been added to the Budget and commitment section of the Line items tab. The Budget and commitment drill-down page has also been updated with the corresponding fields.

• Remove deleted line items from payment forms – Contract has been updated so that you cannot submit a payment form that has deleted line items. You must now remove all deleted lines from payment forms before submitting them. If you use auto submission after approval, the submission will fail if the payment form has deleted line items.

• Unpublished contract warning message – When you push to line items or pull from schedule items in a vendor change order or payment form before the contract is published, Contract now shows an error message stating that the contract must be published.

• Vendor change order line item import template update – The Goods receipt column has been added to the import template for vendor change order line items, so you can specify whether the imported line item requires a goods receipt. See the Vendor change order Line item import template for more information.

• Download previous versions of contract templates – You can now download the previous version of a document template from the template's version history. Values in the Template File column of the version history are now linked to the template files. Click the link to open the previous version. Read more

  

• New tags for vendor change orders for cost to date information – New general table tags let you use historical vendor change order data in contract documents. Previously, Contract had tags that included only current information. Read more

  New tags include the following:

  • <<Revised contract value>>
  • <<Revised contract value-words>>
  • <<Sum of prior executed VCO's>>
  • <<Previous Contract value>>

• Cost item collection tables tags – New collection tables and tags for Contract cost items and Parent cost items have been added to Contract. These collection tables can be used to show values for WBS phase codes in the line items Budget and commitment section.
