Contract Configuration

 

Custom configuration setups for the Contracts module can be found by navigating to Administration -> Cemetery System Setup -> Custom Configuration and conducting a search for %contract to find all the associated configuration pieces for contracts.

 

There are seven configuration pieces for contract functionality.

 

 

 

 

 

This setting controls whether the contract functionality is in use or not.

 

Y, to activate contracts

 

N, if contracts are not required

 

 

 

 

When new contracts are created this configuration setting defines whether the payment frequency is monthly or yearly.

 

 

 

 

 

This is where the default interest rate is defined, ensure this is a valid numeric value, the % sign is not required.

 

 

 

 

Where the setting on GracePeriod is in either, years / months, this configuration works in conjunction with the GracePeriodValue setting where the number of years / months are defined.

 

 

Default grace period value defines the number of years or months based on the setting on default grace period.

 

 

 

 

When a customer wishes to manually assign the contract record number, this setting should be set to either N or NULL. 

 

If contract numbers are auto assigned, set this to Y.

 

 

 

 

 

Some customers will only allow contracts to be created where an ROI / Location is part of the sale.

 

In this case, this configuration setting should be set to Y.

 

Where a customer allows any combination of items to form the contract, this configuration setting can be set to N.
