Working with Related Items

Customers have business information associated with a contract. They want this business information created as separate objects in the CLM application and its record linked to a contract.

Administrators can define the relationship between objects that signify how the parent object is connected to a related child object. Accordingly, the related objects are displayed on the contract details page of the parent object.

Custom objects can be associated with a contract. Administrators must create custom objects as separate objects in the CLM application and link each record to a contract by creating a reference field. For more information on creating a custom object and reference field, see Creating and Managing Objects and Creating and Managing Fields.

The Related Items tab on the contract details page displays a list of records from various custom objects related to the record.

Note: The Related Items tab is displayed only if at least one custom object is associated with the Agreement object.

Accessing Related Items

  1. Click the App Launcher icon () and select Contract Apps.
  2. Select a record to open the contract details page.
  3. Go to the Related Items tab.


    This page displays the custom objects related to the contract.

Use Case for Associating Custom Objects with Contracts

This use case describes how users can associate custom objects. In this case, the administrator creates custom objects, for example, Service Plan and Invoice, and associates them with a contract by creating a reference field.

The user wants to create and view one or more service plans associated with a contract. For this, an administrator must create a Service Plan custom object and link it to an account so that every account record captures invoice details.

Prerequisite: The administrator has created a Service Plan custom object.

After the administrator has created the custom objects, users can view the custom objects in the contract details page.

Creating Orders Automatically Upon Contract Activation

  • The administrator has enabled the Create Order setting for the contract types.
  • Values in the Accounts and Price List fields are populated.
  • A contract is activated. For more information, see Activating a Contract
Customers using the Quote-to-Cash process must manually create orders from contracts. To make the process faster and more efficient, an admin setting is available that lets you automatically create an order and its associated order line items when a contract is activated. You can apply this automation to contract types, like MSA contracts, giving you more control over when and how orders are created. This ensures a seamless transition from contract to order without manual intervention, saving time and effort for customers.
  1. Click the App Launcher icon () and select Contract Apps.
  2. Select a record to open the contract details page.
  3. Go to the Related Items tab.
    This page displays a list of orders associated with the Order object related to the contract.
  4. Click View All button to view all the orders linked to that object.

    When you click the order link, it navigates to the Order page in Order Management.

    You can view the following tabs:
    • DETAILS > Order Details: Displays the transaction details of the order. For more information, see Order Details Page.
    • RELATED LIST > Order Line Item: Displays the transaction details of an order line item. For more information, see Order Line Item Details Page.
