Creating a Rule-Based Pool Linkage 

Purpose

You use the rule-based pool linkage

•    If you want to link your single contract with a pool contract, but the start date of the single contract is unknown or not defined yet

•    If you can only describe start date of the single contract with a date rule

The system creates the rule-based linkage during contract inception. If the contract is already active, you cannot create a rule-based pool linkage.

If the system cannot activate the pool linkage, an error message is displayed.

Prerequisites

•    You have not activated the single contract yet.

•    You have created a pool contract.

•    The organizational data and currency are identical in both the contract item and the pool contract item.
