All Collabs are created as active collabs, indicating they were created by a new PMI Blanket Purchase Order. Collabs will not be created for Discrete Orders. A separate workflow is available to Boeing for marking collabs as active or inactive. A system script will evaluate the collabs with inactive date attribute populated to mark them as inactive.
This script runs daily at a coordinated time with the alert and exception scripts. An email alert is sent to inform users that a Collab is made inactive on that date.
Inactive collabs are not included in PS/PSR downloads or uploads. Inventory uploads will not fail for the inactive collabs. Exceptions will only be evaluated for active collabs.
