View or Change Contract Terms Status

This activity is only applicable if the Contract Terms status definition has been configured. See Status Definitions.

Security Note: Assuming you can view the contract, no specific security right is required to view the status history of its sets of contract terms. To change the status, you need the following security rights:
• The specific Contract Terms status transition as an allowed status transition
Status link configuration may require that only different users can change consecutive statuses, or that the user who changes the status cannot be the user who last modified the set of contract terms.

Activity Steps

  1. Open the Sales Contract or Purchase Contract.
  2. Select the node for the specific set of contract terms.
  3. Select the Status History tab.
  4. If a full Comment is not visible, hover the mouse pointer over the field to display the comment as a tooltip.
  5. To change the status:
    1. Right-click and select Set Status To and the required status from the menu.

      Note: If the Editable property of the new status is not checked, the contract term details are read-only. If the Selectable property of the new status is not checked, the set of contract terms cannot be selected elsewhere in the MineMarket user interface; for example, in a despatch order.

    2. Enter a Comment if required.
    3. Update the Applicable Status Start Date if required.

      Note: Ensure that the selected date does not change the sequence of statuses within the status history. You can only edit the date of the initial status if you have permission to create the set of contract terms. You can only edit the date of a non-initial status if you have permission to transition the set of contract terms to that status.

  6. To delete a status, right-click the status and select Delete from the menu.

    Note: You can only delete a status if it is the current status and if you have permission to transition the set of contract terms to that status.

  7. Click Save.
