Overview
You can use the CLIN/SLINs feature to add Contract Line Items (CLINs) and Sub Line Items (SLINs) on the CLIN/SLINs tab, along with their Modifications on the Period of Performance, CLIN/SLINs, and Contract Mods tabs of Contract records.
The Funding/Obligations tab includes the Cost, Fee, Price, and Total fields for Funding and Obligations. The Total fields for Funding and Obligations are automatically calculated as the sum of the Cost, Fee, and Price fields. You can now put all the Funding and Obligations on a CLIN or a SLIN through a CLIN Mod on the Funding/Obligations tab.
When creating Contracts, either through Intelligent Contract Ingestion (ICI) or manual creation, the Funding and Obligation fields roll up through the Contract hierarchy. Funding and Obligations information on SLIN records roll up to the related CLIN and all the financial information on CLIN records roll up to the related Contract.
This document is a step-by-step guide on how you use the CLIN/SLINs feature in Microsoft Dynamics.
