Freeze Sub Contract Revision

Explanation

This activity is used to freeze a sub contract revision. Usually this activity is performed to prevent anyone from doing any more changes on a sub contract revision. Freezing a sub contract revision is normally done at critical stages during the lifecycle of a sub contract. This can typically be when submitting an invitation to tender, awarding the sub contract, and when the sub contract is agreed and activated.

The sub contract revision will be frozen (if not already frozen) automatically when performing any of the following activities:

• Setting Invitation to Tender Baseline
• Setting Sub Contract Baseline

Since the activities below offer the possibility of performing the activities above, they will indirectly freeze the revision if you choose to set a baseline.

• Activate Sub Contract
• Award Sub Contract
• Submit Sub Contract

To perform modifications on a frozen revision, it is recommended that you create a new revision, rather than unfreezing the frozen revision.

Prerequisites

• The sub contract revision must not already be Frozen.
• The sub contract should not be in either the Cancelled or Closed status.

System Effects

• The sub contract revision is frozen. Further changes cannot be performed on the sub contract lines and items except item status changes.
• The Frozen option is enabled.
• All default values on the sub contract will be copied to each line item, except for the values that are already overridden on the item level.
