In order to manage contracts efficiently the Rights department, Managing editors and Desk heads try to renew all contracts for any given cost centre in the same calendar month. This makes contract value comparisons easier, and it also makes it easier to adjust deliverables across the contracts.
This screen lists the Chart of Accounts cost centres and the month in which their contracts are intended to renew.
The data in this screen is used as an aide memoire in the Contracts screens, and is not enforced as a rule.
The list of cost centres is defined in the Chart of Accounts screen. The Start month is added by selecting a valid month from a list of values.
