  • The media type of the record
  • The valid-from date of the record
  • What entity level the record is valid for (enterprise-level, Agency-level, or Business Unit-level)
  • The vendor contract of the record (the Supplier Type, Payee, Order Partner, Supplier, and Currency values)
  • The vendor rate details of the record (the Cost Type and Rate Type values)
