EDI 196
Data contents of the Contractor Cost Data Reporting Transaction Set (196) for use
within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment.
This transaction set can be used to support contractor cost reporting require-ments
for actual costs and estimates at completion associated with major
research and development (R&D) and production contracts or programs. This
includes nonrecurring and recurring costs by work breakdown structure ele-ments
summarizing all activities on a contract or proposal; non recurring and
recurring functional cost or hour categories for selected work breakdown
structure elements; progress curve (learning curve) information detailing unit
or average lot data by functional cost or hour categories; and summary con-tractor
business base information such as indirect expenses, rates, and
resources. This information can be used to evaluate contractor proposals,
make cost projections of a given program, develop historical data bases to
develop statistical techniques, and make independent cost analysis of new
acquisitions. This transaction set can be used to convey proposed, initial,
progress, updated, or final (end of contract) cost information.
