To report a contractual change to the PRC, go to the “Modification” section under “Contract Management” under the “Award” section. It can also be done in the "Data correction" section by clicking on the blue arrow below the newly modified column.
The operation to run to register a modification to the system will follow the following steps:
Once the “Modification” option is selected, the contract search screen appears. The search for the contract can be done by entering the registration number of the contract which consists of:
- Body code
- Registration number
- Year of execution
Or you can search based on the following criteria:
- Group of contracts
- Type of contract
- Contracting body
- Year of execution
- Expedient
In this second mode it is mandatory to report at least some of the criteria, so that the program will search for contracts with the chosen search criteria and display them on screen for the user to select what he wants to modify. Depending on the search criteria chosen and how many of the criteria are reported the list of contracts that the program will show will be higher or lower.
In the case of criteria search, the system will display the list of contracts that meet the requirements. Clicking on the registration number will access the contract in question. If necessary, the paging buttons will be activated, as the system displays the search result in blocks of 15 rows.
From this result list, a query can be made in the contract file by clicking on the 'File' icon of the contract in question.
In the event that the contract selected to make the modification has several lots, a screen will be displayed in which the user and will have to indicate in which lot of the contract he wants to register the modification.
The selection will be made by pressing the batch number. At the same time you can access the tab (query only) of the batch using the corresponding 'Tab' icon.
Once the contract and the lot in question have been selected, the system will determine whether the latter has extensions. If so, the change will be made against the last extension. If not, it will be against the lot.
