Creating a Contract
When you create a contract from a quote, note the following:
- A contract can be created during any stage of the quote. Contract creation is not dependent on the quote stage or approval status.
- If the business requires the Create Contract button to be hidden at any Quote stage, you can configure the button by applying a Visibility rule in the layout.
- You can create multiple contracts. However you must select a contract type.
- When the QuoteToContractThreshold setting is not configured under Quote Settings, the Quote-to-Agreement creation happens synchronously. However, when this setting is defined, the creation of Contract Lines from Quote Lines is handled asynchronously according to the specified QuoteToContractThreshold setting.
- All standard and custom fields will automatically map from the Quote to the Contract object, provided the API Names and Data Types match exactly on both objects.
- A contract can be created irrespective of the status of the cart. A contract generated from an empty cart has no line items.
