Contract activation

After a contract has gone through final approval, it is moved to the Ready To Activate status. In this state, the contract can be activated, making the associated articles and terms available for use. The contract lines are also available for cost defaulting. When activated, changes or updates to the contract or contract lines cannot be made without going through the contract amendment or addendum process.

If the contract is inactivated, the contract articles and terms are not made available for use and are considered expired.
