• Quickly roll out changes to coverage policies
• to all contracts Changes to coverage terms are immediately visible
to all contracts referencing the standard coverage
• to new contracts New coverage policies in effect for new contracts
only
• Changes to standard coverage policies are not reflected in instantiated
coverage terms
12
13. R12 Standard Coverage
Benefits

be changed to suit policy changes
• Roll out to all affected contracts is carried out implicitly
• Creation of new offerings is easy

since records are no longer needlessly stored against each contract
line

20. Tips from Oracle Development
• R12
• Auto-renewal – can take a long time to run if all your
contracts expire on the same day (e.g. at the end of the
year)
• Suggested workaround: Set conditions for when the contract
will get picked up for auto-renewal (create rules which break
up a large group of contracts into smaller groups)
• Use judgment in the number of lines and sub-lines
that you group into a single contract
• Creating a single service contract per customer with 1,000s
of lines some of which 10,000s of sub-lines can create
performance issues
20
21. Performance Improvements
• 11i10
• Eliminated Rules architecture - to improve performance for
contracts with large number of lines and sub-lines
• For contract copy, renewal and termination for contracts with
large number of lines and sub-lines
• R12
• Standard Coverage – store reference to coverage template
instead of replicating coverage information on every service
line

31. Enterprise Contracts Concepts
• Contract Types
– User-defined (e.g. Fixed price consulting agreement, service contract, cost-
plus research agreement, equipment lease agreement)
– Specifies intent (sell vs. buy)
– Line types that will be sold or purchased
– Line type drives the overall UI
• Contract Line Types
– Specifies the type of item you are buying or selling
• Project-based item, ext. warranty, goods, price-hold, subscription, usage,
lease, etc.
– Line type determines the information captured for the line and the
downstream execution
• System Variables
– Structured information (business terms) to be used in printing, defining policy
rules, approval rules etc.
