Pushing out the contract dates delays the contract's start and end dates. The amendment adds new periods to the contract's end and truncates periods from the beginning of the contract. As a result, the contract term and TCV (Sales) remain unchanged after the amendment.

For example, a subscription, with a quarterly billing frequency is sold for one year with a TCV (Sales) of USD 96,000.00. The contract start date is 01-July-2024 and the end date is 30-June-2025. The selling term is four (because the billing frequency is quarterly) and the net price is USD 24,000.00.

You want to move out (delay) the contract term by two quarters.

For this scenario, the start and end dates are moved out (delayed), so that the initial two quarters at the beginning of the contract are no longer a part of the contract. It is illustrated in the following diagram:

Here the billing application receives the payload for the amendment from an order or asset line item generated in an external system. When the application processes this line item per the request, it uses the value in the Effective Start Date field on the order line item (OLI) as the start date (say 01-January-2025) from when the change is effective. As a result, the billing header fields are updated as follows:
