View the Scheduled Reports and Payments screens

Once the contract has been activated, the system creates a list of schedule reports and payments based on the details of the contract.

Scheduled Reports

The system will analyse the content of a contract and identify all the report types (process trigger types) defined in the contract. For all the identified report types P2i schedules the report for the duration of the contract based on the frequency defined for each report type. The frequency of a report type can be periodic (monthly, quarterly, half yearly or annually) or non-periodic (one-off reports). If a report type defined in the contract is associated with performance measures then the system will associate the measures identified in the contract (measures for a contract are identified through the Investment Reporting Framework and currently the Performance Based Acquittal is the only report type which will be used to measure supplier performance).

Scheduled Payments

The system will analyse the content of the contract and identify the payment amount defined for each financial year. This payment amount for the financial year can be of periodic (monthly, quarterly, half yearly or annually) or non-periodic in nature. When the identified payment amount is periodic then system automatically calculates and schedules the amount based on payment frequency defined in the contract. When the identified payment is non-periodic the system schedules the payment on month specified in the contract.

Trigger Payments

The system automatically identifies the reports for a payment period and associates the report to the payment. The associated reports are mandated by the system to be in assessed state before the user can process a payment for the payment period. However, a payment can be processed to a supplier without receiving a report by escalating the request.
