Two types of contracts are available in SCOT:
1. Master Contracts - used to set up the calculation frequency and general conditions (usually at country level, but you can have several Master contracts depending on various relevant criteria for you)
2. Child Contracts - defined at Supplier level (each supplier has its own child contract with its own information and specifics) and linked to a Master Contract
Child Contracts can be:
0 - Inactive
1 - Active
2 - Testing
3 - Performance Only
Active and Performance only are the most important Child Contract types.
Performance only: for suppliers who work with SCOT. No penalty calculation. Used to allow Performance Reporting via bulk email for suppliers without penalty contract.
Active: for suppliers who work with SCOT and agreed with penalties. Suppliers will receive Penalty Reports via bulk email.
Inactive: use this contract status if you don’t work with the supplier anymore. Supplier doesn't receive reports/penalties. Not considered in any calculation.
Testing: the intention was to use special test mode for such contracts blocking bulk email. Currently has same impact as inactive type.
