Contract

Here is a description of the field sets on the Billing Contract and Billing Contract Line Item objects. Billing Central checks whether you have been granted access to fields in the Billing Central field sets. Fields that you do not have access to are hidden. For more information, see Field-Level Security.

Notes:

Billing Central uses the Enhanced Contract Additional Fields field sets on Billing Contract and Billing Contract Line Item to determine which extra fields to include on the enhanced Billing Contract Detail page and in the custom related list for Billing Contract Line Items. Billing Central's own fields that are already displayed are not repeated if they are also included in these field sets.

You can control whether fields in the Enhanced Contract Additional Fields field set on Billing Contract Line Item are added to, or replace, the default fields in the custom related list for Billing Contract Line Items. For more information, see the Replace Fields in Custom Related List field in the FinancialForce Billing Central Settings.

Warning:

Removing fields from the Active Contract Locked field sets might compromise your billing data because users will be able to edit active contracts without going through a change request. The change request process ensures that only valid changes can be made to an active contract, and that billing schedules and billing documents are automatically regenerated to reflect the changes. If you allow users to bypass this process you must manually rectify any billing schedules, billing documents, and any transactions in your accounting system that are impacted by their edits.
