You can create an agreement from the Opportunities, Accounts, Contacts, and Agreements tabs. When drafting your agreement record, you fill out the mandatory data fields, such as Agreement Name and Account for your agreement record. The system automatically populates the system fields, such as Status Category and Status, which help identify which step of the agreement process is currently in the agreement lifecycle. For details on various status categories, statuses, and agreement actions, see Agreement Status Categories and Statuses and Agreement Actions. 

To complete the agreement, you must fill out data fields relevant to your agreement. For the complete list of agreement fields, see Agreements Fields.

You can also create an agreement using the Contract Wizard. The Contract Wizard enables you to choose from and execute runtime wizard instances based on pre-configured wizards to create well-formed agreements.
