Recent Price Increases - This view shows the user their facility items that have a price increase over the past 3 months. We calculate the impact this increase in price will have over the next 12 months vs. what the spend was for the item over the previous 12 months for the facility. The results are sorted based on the 12M Price Impact in descending order, showing the items with greatest potential impact to the facility spend first.

Create New Contract
Previously, in Contracts, users were not able to create or update their own contracts, they had to contact Customer Support to create new contracts for them. Now users can Create New Contract within the Contracts page. This will allow users to manage all the components needed to create a contract, such as Products, Pricing, Tiers and Cross-references. 
Users will first enter Basic Info for the new contract. Contract Name, Contract Code, Effective Date, Expiration Date, and Supplier are all required fields. Optional fields Sourcing Officer and Contract Description. When all details are correct the user will Continue to the Tiers step.
As the user advances to the next step, the contract is saved as a Draft. If the user needs to come back to a Contract, they can find the draft contract on the Contracts page by changing the filter from Active to Draft.
On the Tiers step the user will add their Tier information including Name, Facilities, Price Tier Rules and Rebates. The user can assign multiple Tiers, multiple Tier Rules, and can apply multiple Rebates.
The next step for the user is Products And Pricing where the user will upload and map their products. Here the user will Upload and Map their products file including pricing. If the file the user will be uploading contains the same fields for mapping each time, the user can save their mapping to be used for future uploads.
Once the user successfully uploads/maps their product file, they will be able to manage their products and pricing in the Products And Pricing grid, having the ability to update the product details, pricing and removing any unwanted product from the list without having to upload a new file.
If users need to upload additional products to the Products And Pricing, the user is able to select Upload New File
Users can select Reupload to be be taken back to the upload file process, or the user can select Cancel, keep current file if they no longer need to Reupload the file.
When users select Reupload they are able to add to the existing Products And Pricing by uploading a new file, mapping fields, and processing the updated file the same as the original file. If users want to replace the existing products, instead of adding to them, users are able to select Replace the current contract products. The user will then upload a new file, map fields, and process the file to replace the existing products.
After completing Products And Pricing, the user will advance to the optional Cross References step. Here the user has the option to upload a cross reference file for the system to cross like items to the products uploaded by the user. If the user wishes to bypass this step, they can simply advance to the next step.
Another optional step for the user is Supporting Documents. Here the user can upload any needed Supporting Documents for the contract. Upload requirements; xls(x), csv, ppt(x), pdf, doc(x), 10 MB or less. If the user wishes to bypass this step, they can simply advance to the next step.
The second to last step for Create New Contract is Manage Members. Here users will be able to assign a Tier and Price Activation Date for each member organization. Users are able to pivot between multiple tiers if they created more than one tier on the Tier step. If the user wants to see the Manufacturers Market Share and Last 12 Months Spend details, they can expand the row for each organization.
When the user has finished entering their data, they will advance to the Summary section. In the summary section, the user will be able to view the details of the contract for each section. If they need to edit any details, they can use the pencil icon or navigate to the desired section.
When the contract updates are finalized, the user will then Publish Contract to activate the newly created Contract. If the user was updating an existing Contract, they will Save Contract updates.
Also new to the Contract screen is the Cross References view where the user can view the Cross References that are applied to each Cross Reference List.
Users are also able to expand the Cluster for each cross reference that was assigned during the Cross Reference upload step of the contract creation process. Here the user can remove crosses from the Cross Reference to manage each list.
