Amending a Contract from an Opportunity
- The original opportunity is associated with a Conga CLM contract.
- The original contract is in the Activated status before you create an amendment.
- The previous (parent) opportunity and amendment opportunities belong to the same account.
A contract amendment is a formal modification to an existing, activated agreement. In Conga CLM, amendments allow organizations to update contract terms, pricing, scope, or other provisions without replacing the original agreement. The amendment preserves the full history and lineage of the original contract while capturing the changes in a new, related agreement record.
When you initiate an amendment from Dynamics 365, Conga CLM creates a new Amendment Contract record that inherits terms from the Original Contract.
The system automatically updates the statuses of both records:
-
Original Contract: Status changes to Being Amended (Status Category: In Effect)
-
Amendment Contract: Status is set to In Amendment (Status Category: Request)
The Amendment Contract then follows the standard contract lifecycle, just like a new contract.
