Renewing Contracts

When you create a renewal, the values of custom fields on the contract are copied to the renewal and the values of custom fields belonging to related contract line items are copied to the renewal lines.

When you renew a contract, the values and totals for the renewal are calculated automatically.

Notes: Notes Notepad
You cannot renew a contract that has a related renewal.
If after renewing a contract, you make changes to the renewal using the Salesforce Contract Detail page you must recalculate the values and totals for that contract manually. See Calculating Contract Values.
The values and totals are recalculated automatically on the enhanced Contract Detail page.
