	<AimSection><Paragraph>To evaluate contracts, the following conditions must be fulfilled:</Paragraph>
		<List><ListItem>The contract status must be <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/icap#active" role="enum">Active</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Call orders must exist for the contract.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The time elapsed (%) must be more than the percentage specified on the form.</ListItem>
		</List>
	</AimSection>
	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>The method of extrapolating can produce a distorted picture because the delivery schedules are not included. For instance, if the largest quantities are delivered at the end of a contract duration, an evaluation will show a backlog that does not correspond to a real situation.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>You can carry out an evaluation on contract level by not printing the separate contract lines. You can accept small negative or positive deviations in the call order with regard to the quantities.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Deviations are calculated as follows:</Paragraph>
		<Formula><Paragraph UserLevel="Novice" UserType="Taskuser">
Called Quantity - Agreed Quantity x Elapsed Time Factor
-------------------------------------------------------    x 100%
                    Agreed Quantity
</Paragraph>
		</Formula>
		<ExampleSection><SectionTitle>Example</SectionTitle>
			<List><ListItem>Agreed Quantity = 100</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Called + invoiced = 40</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Contract duration = 10 days</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Time Elapsed = 6 days</ListItem>
			</List>
			<Formula><Paragraph UserLevel="Novice" UserType="Taskuser">
                     40 - 100 x 6/10
Negative Deviation = -----------------  = -20%
                            100
</Paragraph>
			</Formula>
			<Paragraph>If this percentage is greater than the allowed percentage, the contract line is printed.</Paragraph>
