Tips   Edit line items in an CSR

Use this screen to enter or change detailed information for a line item on a contract sourcing request (CSR).

You can change the price of a catalog item to indicate the price you want to pay, which can be lower than the catalog price. The catalog itself is not updated, as the field indicates only a preferred price and not an actual price.

In an amount-based CSR, the Total shown equals the sum of minimum amounts of all line items. In a quantity-based CSR, the Total equals the sum of all line item minimum quantities times their prices.

  1. Enter or change line item information.
    • If you change item quantities, enter only whole number (non-precision) quantities.
    • If you change the unit of measure (UOM) of a catalog item, a new non-catalog item is added to the CSR and to the related CR. The original catalog item remains on the request (for historical purposes). Use care changing any UOM.
