A contract workflow has been configured for the Contract business solution to make it easier for you to check your contracts.
Several people or even several departments are often involved in the approval and revision process for contracts. Such workflows can range from simple approvals to complex, multi-stage approval processes.
The system monitors all events - so all contract deadlines are met. The responsible users are automatically informed when a contract expires or a cancellation option is due.
With Contract, you can customise these processes to suit your individual requirements.

In this status, you can still make enquiries, carry out renegotiations or wait for extensions. You can carry out these workflow steps from here:
Mark as valid
Move to the "Cancelled" status
Cancelled" status
The contract is moved to this status after cancellation. From here, you can move the contract to the workflow status - terminated.
Invalid" status
If you have marked the contract as invalid at any time, it is moved to the "Invalid" status.
Terminated" status
If a contract has been cancelled and the contract term has ended, the contract can be declared as terminated.
