Software contracts and companies

Before you can approve a software contract, you must specify a vendor. Before a vendor can be associated with a contract, a record for the vendor must be created in the Company Master or in the Companies application.

The Companies application maintains detailed information about vendors, manufacturers, and other companies.

If your system administrator has selected the Automatically Add Companies to Company Master check box in the Sets application, you can create a company record in the Companies application. If not, use the Company Master application to create a record. Selecting the Automatically Add Companies to Company Master check box also automatically creates a company master record each time you create a company record.

You can view all contracts associated with a vendor using the View Contracts action in the Companies application.
