This activity is used to enter a call off value for each contract item or to call off the full amount for all items on the contract. Note: It is possible to enter positive, negative and even a zero value as the call off value. Calling off of contract items is a necessary step in proceeding with the contract. When a valuation is created, it will not be certified unless a call off has been created and released.
A negative call-off value reduces the total amount already called off for an item, for example when a released call-off needs to be reduced. A released call-off cannot be edited directly, so this is done by entering an additional call-off line with a negative value rather than changing the amount on the existing released call-off.
If there is a project activity connected to the items, planned committed cost will be reported to the project. The cost elements on which the cost is reported to the connected project activities will be deduced depending on the posting control setup and the report codes connected to the sub contract.
A call off must exist in the Planned status.
Call off values are entered on the call off.
