Generate the contract schedule

The Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) is a list of data requirement items (DRIs). The delivery schedule of the data described in each DRI depends on specific contract events or milestones. For each DRI, an event table defines the frequency and offset of data delivery, and it is based on the events in the contract schedule. The DRI's event table is used to calculate the dates and frequency of contract deliverables. IPP&E allows you to generate the contract schedule from the program IMP. Typically, contracts are associated with a program, project, or subproject.

Create the contract schedule as follows:

Procedure

1. Open the contract associated with the program, project, or subproject, and then click the Schedule tab.

2. Click More commands > New > Create Contract Schedule. Alternatively, click Add from the work area toolbar in the Contract Event Schedule section.

   The Add Schedule panel is displayed.

3. Select a schedule template, enter an optional description and project, and then click Add. The schedule name is generated by the system but you can change it if necessary.

   The system creates a new schedule in the Contract Event Schedule table. The planned contract start date and a contract end date are populated from the chosen template, as are the schedule tasks representing each program event.
