Field Description
Contract Status Code

Enter a contract status code.

There are eight Costpoint-defined contract status codes that display automatically in this field. You cannot modify or delete these codes. Costpoint-defined codes are as follows:

  • ACO: Complete Awaiting Close Out
  • AWARDED: Awarded
  • CLOSED: Final Invoice Paid/Closed
  • FBILL: Final Billing
  • FURL: Furlough Notice
  • NTP: Notice to Proceed
  • SWO: Stop Work Order
  • VERBAL: Verbal

For user-defined codes, once the code is assigned to a contract or subcontract, you will not be able to delete it on this screen.

Contract Status Description Enter a description for new contract status codes. For existing codes, you can modify this field for both user- and system-defined contract status codes.
Show in Lookup

This check box is selected by default for both user- and system-defined contract status codes, but you can modify it. Keep it selected to display the contract status code in the lookup of the Contract Status field on the Manage Contracts screen, and in the lookup of the Status field on the Manage Subcontracts screen. Only those codes that are available in the lookup can be used for new records in Manage Contracts and Manage Subcontracts.

If you clear this check box for a code that was already used in an existing record in Manage Contracts or Manage Subcontracts, you will still be able to save that record as long as you do not replace the contract status code for that record.

Include in Contract Backlog This check box is selected by default for both user- and system-defined contract status codes, but can be modified. If selected, all contracts with the contract status assigned will be included in the Contract Backlog Report.
Source This field displays System (system-defined code) or User (user-defined code). You cannot modify this field.
