FOCUS column

ContractApplied

Whether a negotiated contract rate was applied to the charge, as carried in the platform’s FOCUS 1.4 contract. It lets the rows priced under the organization’s agreement be separated from rows priced at list, which is what makes the value of the agreement measurable per SKU. Consult the FOCUS specification for the normative definition of this later-release column.

Example

Two rows for the same SKU differ here: one priced under the enterprise agreement, one for a service the agreement does not cover.

Where it comes from, per export

The export column that feeds ContractApplied in each format the platform ingests, and the transform applied. A format with no row does not carry the column; the value is then absent rather than guessed.

How Runcost uses it

Runcost reports contracted versus list-priced spend so procurement can see which services fall outside the agreement.
