MoversSuite Administration > Accounting and Financial > Contract Master
Define contracts to provide discounts to company accounts using this setup. Users can define a bottom-line discount and/or associate a discount to Item Codes for each plan.
MoversSuite users can assign contracts through the Billing Information tab or have them automatically assigned to an order using Account Profiles.
Contracts added within MoversSuite Administration > Accounting and Financial > Contract Master are available as options within appropriate dropdown selectors. The Inactive option allows the ability to determine which contracts are available or which ones can be hidden in dropdowns. By default, the Inactive option is unchecked and the contract will show as an option. If the Inactive option is checked, the contract will be hidden from the dropdowns.

Technical Note |
|
•If a record is marked as Inactive and there are commission or revenue items in MoversSuite currently linked to that contract, the contract remains functional for those items so that any additional processing can occur. •If a contract is assigned to a Commission Plan detail record or to an Account Profile record in Administration, the contract cannot be set as Inactive. If you attempt to mark it Inactive, an error will occur. The error will indicate the location of the error. The error can be resolved by removing the association: then you may proceed with marking the contract as Inactive. |
There is also the option to permanently delete the contract with the Delete button.
