How to Manage Sectional Dates Change Under Compensation Events

In this article we show you how to add manage Sectional and Key dates within your contract(s) on FastDraft. 

This article explains the following:-

• How to Add/Edit Sectional and Key dates
• How Sectional and Key dates are updated

In order for the functionality to work, Sectional dates must be switched on via the Contract Overview and preferably upon creation of the contract. Be aware that this must be switched on for NEC TSC contacts in order for the dates to be populated when task orders are created. 

How to Add/Edit Sectional and Key dates

Under Contract on the left hand panel click on Other Dates 

You can now enter the details of your Secondary dates. When clicking on the plus sign on the right hand side, a new pop up window is displayed where details of the new date to be added can be entered. 

• Description
• Type  (The task/project start and completion dates are for task/project orders only)
• Date

How Sectional and Key dates are updated

Secondary and Key dates can be amended within FastDraft via the Quotes workflow  (CE & Submissions). If secondary dates are enabled they will appear at the bottom of the form.  The Contactor can then choose which dates need amending - they can amend as many as necessary. 
 

 
They will also appear on the communicated quote form so the PM can see them before accepting.  
 

 
Once accepted the date(s) will be updated under Other Dates. 
 

 
In the above example the Date is updated to the new Date - shows when it was last amended -  and which notification caused the update. 

All of the Secondary dates DO NOT update the Contract End Date.  That is only affected by CE's and Submissions with quote.
