Negotiation Manager is a database of contractual actions, both financial and non-financial, processed by Central Processing Offices (CPO).

For each log record that is created a Log number is automatically assigned.  A Log record may be associated with an OSP number.

 

If the Log number is known, and the user has access to view it, click the Negotiation Manager Go button button.  Enter the log number, then click "OK"; specific log record will display.

 

Quick Query allows the user to search for a record using pieces of information.  Any combination of data can be search on.
