Create a contract and author a contract data requirement list

To author the contract data requirements list (CDRL) for a program, you must first create a contract. This object acts as a placeholder during the RFP phase. Once the contract is signed, the object represents the actual contract. The CDRL is a collection of individual data requirement items (DRIs).

Create the individual DRIs as follows:

Procedure

  1. Create a contract object with Teamcenter Contract Data Management. The contract provides tabs for referencing the program or project, contract line item numbers (CLINs) and DRIs, and other artifacts related to the management of the contract, such as correspondence.
  2. Define an Integrated Master Plan (IMP) to ensure that the program events with the event dates exist. These events define the onset and frequency of data delivery for each DRI.
  3. Generate a contract schedule using the event dates.
  4. Create DRIs with Teamcenter Contract Data Management.
