Pricing Amount-Based Contracts
This section discusses how to allocate billing and revenue amounts, select percent-based contract lines, apply contract billing and revenue header discounts and surcharges, apply billing and revenue line discounts and surcharges, and view contract line discounts and surcharges (discounts do not apply to recurring contract lines). Amount allocation allows you to allocate total contract price across contract lines. The Amount Allocation section is divided into separate pages for allocating billing and revenue. The Billing Allocation page is always editable. The Revenue Allocation page is editable if billing and revenue are separated on the contract. If they are not separated, then the Revenue Allocation page is read only and values are programmatically set to those used for billing.

Contract Billing
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Total Billing |
Enter the total contract price for billing for all types of contract lines. This should equal the sum of Billing Amount after discounts and surcharges for amount and percent based lines, plus sum of Billing Limit for rate based lines plus sum of Recurring Billing amount for recurring lines. |
Unallocated Billing |
Calculated by the system, displays the total billing amount not yet allocated to contract lines. This is calculated as Total Billing entered by the user minus Total Billing calculated by system under Line Totals group box. Unallocated billing does not need to be $0 for a contract to be activated, but this is encouraged. |
Fixed Billing
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Fixed Billing |
Enter the total billing amount for amount and percent based contract lines, This field acts as a control total on this page. The system sets the Allocation field to Complete when the sum of the billing amount allocated to the contract lines equals the amount entered in this field. Inclusive prepaids are included in the Fixed Billing field. |
Billing Discounts/Surcharges |
Use this to enter header level discounts or surcharges for amount and percent based contract lines before contract activation. Also, included in the display is the sum of all line level discounts and surcharges. Note: This link appears only for contracts with a contract classification of Standard. |
Net Fixed Billing |
Displays the net billing amount for amount and percent based lines after discounts and surcharges. The system calculates this value by subtracting Billing Discounts/Surcharges from Fixed Billing. |
Unallocated Fixed Billing |
Displays the billing amount that is required to be allocated across amount and percent based contract lines. This is calculated as Fixed Billing entered by the user minus the sum of Billing Amount on the contract lines. This amount must be zero before the value of Allocation field is set to Completed. |
Inclusive Prepaids |
Inclusive prepaids are fixed amounts agreed to by the customer at contract origination. Prepaid amounts identified as inclusive in the Prepaids functionality must be included in the total fixed billing amount of the contract. Prepaids can be identified as inclusive before a contract is activated. Prepaids not factored into the original contract price are referred to as non-inclusive and do not appear on this page. All prepaids, inclusive and non-inclusive are utilized against future activity on rate based as incurred contract lines. This field is not applicable for Internal contracts. |
Allocation |
The system calculates the status of the fixed billing amount allocations. Values include:
Note: Contracts with amount and percent based contract lines must have the fixed billing amount for the contract completely allocated across its amount and percent based contract lines and the Allocation status must be set to Complete before the contract can be activated. This is not necessary for contracts with only rate-based or recurring lines. If you have percent based contract lines with amounts based on a percentage of the total fixed billing amount, after entering and applying percentages that total 100, you may be required to allocate a rounding difference as a fixed amount to one of the contract lines before the Allocation is set to Complete. |
Recalculate |
When you click this button, the system recalculates the unallocated billing amount and unallocated fixed billing amount and sets the value of the allocation to Complete or Incomplete based on the Unallocated Fixed Billing value. It recalculates header and line level discounts when there is a change in the discount percentage or a change in the contract line billing amount. It also recalculates the Net Amount on amount and percent based lines and recalculates all fields under the Line Totals group box to reflect the latest changes in any of the amount fields on the Contract Line Pricing grid. |
Note: This grid is not visible for contracts with a classification of Federal Reimbursable Agreements as amount allocation is not applicable for them.
Contract Line Pricing
Use the fields in this group box to allocate the Total Billing amount across individual contract lines. The system displays contract lines with an Active status only.
Note: All types of contract lines are part of this page, including, amount, percent, rate and recurring contract lines.. Columns displayed depend on the price type of the contract lines with only applicable columns being shown. As an example, columns for amount based discounts are not available on rate based contract lines. Instead rate based discounts may be entered on the Related Projects page.

Retrieve Billing Price |
Applicable for amount based lines, select this check box to reprice the contract line. When you select this option and click the Recalculate button, the system retrieves the list price from the PeopleSoft Enterprise Pricer or list price in Order Management, multiplies it by the quantity on the contract line, and updates the Extended Price, Billing Amount, Billing Discounts/Surcharges, and Net Billing amount fields for the selected contract lines. The contract line Start Date is used for purposes of effective dating. If the contract line start date is not available, then the contract start date is used. |
Line (line number) |
Displays the contract line number assigned to the contract line when it was added to the contract. |
Product |
Displays the product identifier associated with the product on the Product Definition page. |
Bundle |
Used for grouping related contract lines displays the bundle name assigned to the contract line. |
Price Type |
Displays the price type associated with the contract line. |
Quantity |
Displays the quantity associated with the contract line. You can change this value at any time before contract activation. When you change the quantity, the system automatically updates the associated quantity on the Billing Plan Lines page. |
Extended Price |
Displays the list price multiplied by quantity for amount-based contract lines. |
Billing Amount |
Applicable for amount based lines, enter a price for billing. By default, the Billing Amount is set to the price defined in Order Management multiplied by the quantity, but can be overridden. The Billing Amount for a percent-based line is calculated and display-only. |
Percentage |
Applicable for percent based lines. If the percent based line is priced using % of Lines option then this value can be changed on Percent-Based Billing Pricing page. If the percent based line is priced using % of Total then its value is derived from the Order Management module. |
Basis Type |
Applicable for percent based lines, use this page to identify a basis for the calculation and the percentage. |
Billing Discounts/Surcharges |
Applicable for amount and percent based lines, click this link to identify contract line specific discounts. This field appears for Standard contracts only. |
Net Billing |
Applicable for amount and percent based lines, displays the Net Billing amount after subtracting discounts or surcharges from the Billing Amount. |
Recurring Billing |
Applicable for recurring lines. Recurring contract lines are available for standard and internal contracts. Recurring contract lines cannot be added to contracts that opt to Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue since revenue plans are not assigned to these lines and revenue always equals the amount billed. The Recurring Billing amount is used to identify the amount expected to be billed and recognized for revenue on the recurring contract line. It is included in the Total Billing amount of the contract. The amount entered does not directly impact amounts on the bill plan or billing processes. Instead, the billing process will use the latest List Price in Order Management when it comes time to bill the customer. |
Awarded Cost |
Applicable for rate based contract lines on government contracts, enter the awarded cost value. |
Billing Limit |
Applicable for rate based lines, enter the billing limit for the line. Billing Limit is applicable for all contract classifications except internal. For government contracts the billing limit cannot exceed the Awarded Cost. For federal contracts with federal customers, the sum of the billing limits cannot exceed the Total Billing amount for the contract as identified on the Contracts General page. For federal contracts with non federal customers the sum of the billing limits cannot exceed the total prepaid amount in ready status. |
Related Revenue Amount |
Hover over this field to view the revenue amount for the contract line. If the contract separates billing and revenue then the revenue amount is editable on the Revenue Allocation page and the revenue value for the line can be viewed here.

Use the Revenue Allocation page (CA_PRICING_REV_PNL) to identify the total revenue amount on the contract and to allocate that amount across contract lines. The Revenue Allocation page is editable if billing and revenue are separated on the contract. If billing and revenue are not separated on the contract then the Revenue Allocation page is read only and amounts are programmatically updated from the Billing Allocation page. The ability to edit data on the Revenue Allocation page is specific to the contract line type (amount or as incurred) and whether those line types separate billing and revenue on the contract. It is possible to separate billing and revenue on amount based lines and not to separate them on as incurred lines and vice versa. The line types identified as separate for billing and revenue while creating the contract are editable on the Revenue Allocation page. Recurring contract lines are never editable since revenue plans are not assigned to these lines and revenue is recognized equal to the amount billed.

Retrieve Revenue Price |
Select this check box to recalculate the contract line's revenue price based on product prices in Order Management and the Enterprise Pricer. Any changes in quantity are also used to recalculate the line’s Extended Revenue Price. This field is applicable for amount and rate based lines if the contract line price type separates billing and revenue (Separate Fixed or Separate As Incurred Billing and Revenue are selected for the contract). This check box is not enabled for percent based lines and recurring lines. After selecting this check box and clicking the Recalculate button, the system retrieves the revenue price from Order Management and this would include the Enterprise Pricer if configured for product pricing. If the Revenue Allocation is Manual then the revenue amount and revenue limit values are replaced by the updated extended revenue price. If the Revenue Allocation is Auto then the Relative Percentage and Suggested Revenue values are recalculated based on the updated extended revenue price. The revenue amount and revenue limit are replaced by the suggested revenue amount. If the Override Revenue check box is selected then the relative percentage and suggested revenue are not applicable and the revenue amount and revenue limit field are enterable. |
Line |
Displays the contract line number assigned to the contract line when it was added to the contract. |
Product |
Displays the product identifier associated with the product on the Product Definition page. |
Bundle |
Used for grouping related contract lines, displays the bundle name assigned to the contract line. |
Price Type |
Displays the price type for the contract line. |
Quantity |
Displays the quantity for the contract line. This value cannot be edited and will match the value on the Billing Allocation page. Note: This field is applicable for amount and rate based lines and modified only on the Billing Allocation page. |
Extended Revenue Price |
Displays the revenue price multiplied by quantity for amount and rate-based contract lines. To view the updated extended revenue price select the Retrieve Revenue Price check box and click the Recalculate button. The latest revenue price is retrieved from Order Management and the Enterprise Pricer. When the Automated Allocation is selected, the extended revenue price is used as the basis for the allocation. |
Relative Percentage |
Displays the contract line’s relative percentage to the total and is display only. This field is visible only if Revenue Allocation is Auto. Each contract line is assigned a relative percentage using its Extended Revenue Price relative to the total of all extended revenue prices for all lines on the contract. Contract lines where Override Revenue is selected are excluded from the relative percentage calculation. |
Suggested Revenue |
Displays the suggested revenue and is display only. This field is visible only if Revenue Allocation is Auto. The Suggested Revenue field assigns a portion of Total Revenue to contract lines participating in the allocation (that is where the Override Revenue check box is not selected). The system calculates suggested revenue as follows:
Contract lines identified as being Overridden will display a blank for Relative Percentage and Suggested Revenue. After the allocation is complete, Total Revenue is allocated to a contract line via the suggested revenue calculation or an override. The total of the two should equal total revenue on the contract. The revenue allocation specific to amount based lines is altogether separate from the allocation of total revenue. |
Override Revenue |
Select this check box to exclude a contract line from the automated revenue allocation. After selecting or deselecting this field click the Recalculate button to get the updated revenue amounts. When selected, the revenue amount and revenue limit fields are enterable. If not selected the revenue amount and revenue limit fields default from suggested revenue and are display only. Based on the contract line price type, this check box is selected and grayed out if the contract does not separate billing and revenue and the revenue amount or limit is set to the billing amount or limit. This check box is always selected for percent-based lines and recurring lines and cannot be edited. |
Revenue Amount |
Applicable for amount based lines, the revenue amount works as follows:
Note: If the Revenue Allocation is set to Manual and the Retrieve Revenue Price check box is selected, then the Revenue Amount is updated with the latest extended revenue price in Order Management and the Enterprise Pricer overriding any existing value. Similarly, for revenue allocations set to Auto where the contract line is set to Override Revenue, any previously entered revenue amounts would be updated with extended revenue price. Note: This field is not applicable for Federal Reimbursable Agreements. |
Percentage |
Applicable for percent based lines, displays the percentage used to determine the revenue amount on the line. It may be different from the percentage used for billing if the Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue check box is selected on the contract. Note: This field is visible for percent based contract lines on standard and internal contracts. |
Basis Type |
Applicable for percent based lines, use this page to identify a basis for the calculation and the percentage. The basis percentage used for revenue allocation can be different from the basis percentage used for billing if the Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue check box is selected on the contract. Note: This field is visible for percent based contract lines on standard and internal contracts. |
Revenue Discounts/Surcharges |
Applicable for amount and percent based lines on Standard contracts, click this link to identify contract line specific discounts. The value for this field will default from the billing discounts/surcharges field on the Billing Allocation page if the Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue check box is not selected on the contract. When you assign revenue discounts to a contract line, the system generates discount specific accounting distributions on the Accounting Distribution Discounts /Surcharges page and the revenue discount amount is used there. If the contract does not Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue then the billing discount is used to create the revenue discount. |
Net Revenue |
Applicable for amount and percent based lines on Standard contracts, displays the Net Revenue amount after subtracting discounts or surcharges from the Revenue Amount. |
Recurring Revenue |
Displays the recurring revenue amount for recurring contract lines. The value always matches recurring billing and can be modified on the Billing Allocation page only. Recurring contract lines cannot be added to contracts that opt to Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue since revenue plans are not assigned to these lines and revenue always equals the amount billed. Note: This field is visible only for standard and internal contracts. |
Awarded Cost |
Applicable for rate based contract lines on government contracts and always display only, the amount can be edited on the Billing Allocation page. |
Revenue Limit |
Applicable for rate based lines, the revenue limit works as follows:
Note: If the Revenue Allocation is set to Manual and the Retrieve Revenue Price check box is selected, then the Revenue Limit is updated with the latest extended revenue price in Order Management and the Enterprise Pricer overriding any existing value. Similarly, for revenue allocations set to Auto where the contract line is set to Override Revenue, any previously entered revenue limits would be updated with extended revenue price. Note: Revenue Limit cannot be less than the revenue already processed. If the suggested revenue limit does calculate to a lesser amount, then you should select Override Revenue and increase your revenue limit to the amount already processed. Note: Much of the automated allocation functionality assumes the use of contract line revenue limits. With new functionality, organizations who enter a revenue limit of zero to indicate no revenue limit (or unlimited revenue) may need to update a newly defaulted default revenue limit to zero. |
