Updating header dates on contracts with lines

On contracts without lines, you can update the effective and expiration dates directly on the contract header. To update these dates on contracts with lines, you must use the Update Contract Dates action.

To view details about contract lines and headers with different effective and expiration dates, open a contract record and click the Manage Date Changes link.

  1. Select Contracts > Contracts.
  2. Open a contract record.
  3. Select Actions > Update Contract Dates.

    • When all line dates should match the new header dates select, Update All.
    • When the line dates should not be changed select, Do Not Update.
