Mass Contract Change Batches

Users with Accountant roles can create Mass Contract Change batches to perform a contract change event to change the contract CPI type or delete open drafts. Note that the Delete Open Draft batch action deletes all open drafts (regardless of the draft status) for the contract and activation group.

To create a Mass Casualty Batch:

Click Main Menu > Batch Management > Create Batch.
Set the Batch Type to "Mass Contract Change".

On the Definition page, modify the following information, if required:
1. Click to change the object type for the Target Level. Note that depending on the batch type, the Target Level may be automatically selected and cannot be changed.
2. Enter a new Batch Name.
3. Click at the top of the page. Note that you cannot leave the page until it is either saved, or reset to the previous saved version.
In the left-panel, click Actions.
1. Select the action that you would like the batch to do. Note that depending on the batch type, some actions may be automatically selected and cannot be changed.
2. Click at the top of the page. Note that you cannot leave the page until it is either saved, or reset to the previous saved version.
In the left-panel, click Filters to determine which objects the batch should be run on. It is possible to filter batches based on application objects such as, master agreements, contracts and activation groups, or by specific criteria (such as System, Lease Area, etc.). Note that Change CPI Type batches can only be run on one company code at a time.
- To filter a batch:
  1. In the Filters drop down menu, select "Default".
  2. After setting each field, click . You can select more than one option per field.
  3. Click at the top of the page. Note that you cannot leave the page until it is either saved, or reset to the previous saved version.
  Note: If intercompany transfers have been applied, the application will use either company code and cost objects of the original company or of the new company based on the batch target level and action type. See Intercompany Transfers for more information.
- To select batches based on specific application objects such as, master agreements, contracts, or activation groups (instead of filters). Note that different options may be available depending on the selected batch type.
  1. In the Filters drop down menu, you can select one of the following options (if available):
    - Bulk Master Agreements
    - Bulk Contracts
    - Bulk Activation Groups
    - Bulk Units
  2. For certain batch types, select a System or Company.
  3. Select one or more object IDs for the specific batch, and click .
  4. Click at the top of the page. Note that you cannot leave the page until it is either saved, or reset to the previous saved version.

For Change CPI Type batches, click Inputs in the left-panel to add more information and set the fields used . Note that the Inputs page is not available for Delete Open Draft batches.
1. The Company is automatically set to the company selected on the Filters page.
2. Select the CPI Indexation Type (which determines the type of indexation used) to change the CPI type to one of the following options:
  - "None": The contract does not use CPI indexation rates.
  - "CPI Local": The indexation values (CPI) will be defined manually by the user.
    1. The Current Index Level is set to 0.00 by default. If required, modify the value to indicate if the current index level is some other amount, but note that it will not affect the current financial schedule. It will be used to calculate the difference with the new rate when an indexation event is added.
  - "CPI Global": The Current Index Level is set according to configured indexation dates.
    1. Set the Reference Date that the application will use to filter the options in the CPI Indexation drop-down. Only the configured indexations that are valid for the Reference Date will be shown.
    2. Optionally, set the CPI Indexation Type to further filter the CPI indexation drop-down.
    3. Select a configured CPI Indexation.
    4. The Global Index Level displays the value configured (based on the current date) for the selected indexation.
3. Click at the top of the page. Note that you cannot leave the page until it is either saved, or reset to the previous saved version.
Optionally, to display the estimate of how many objects match the conditions set, click Batch Items: Calculate in the gray header.
Tip: In case of an error, refine the filter settings for a smaller batch.
To generate batch items, click at the top of the page. All of the matching objects are listed on the Batch Items page. The batch status changes from "Draft" to "Ready".
