Extend a contract

To extend a contract, use the Extend Contract action on the Customer Subscription Contract page. The feature can be used for recurring billing as well as for usage-based billing. This article describes the handling from a usage-based perspective. To learn more about extending contracts, go to Extend subscription contracts.

Extend a contract based on a subscription

In addition to the Customer Subscription Contract page, the Extend Contract action is also available on the Usage Data Supp. Subscriptions page, and from the lookup in the No. of Imported Lines field on the Usage Data Imports page. This action is useful if errors occur when processing imported lines due to subscription lines and subscriptions that don't exist.

The Subscription field is available on the Extend Contract page on the Vendor FastTab. When you open the page from the Usage Data Supp. Subscriptions or Imported Lines pages, the subscription is automatically predefined. When you open the page from the menu, you can also select the (supplier) subscription using the AssistEdit button. The Quantity and Provision Start Date fields are predefined based on the (supplier) subscription. The item is also preselected if it was found through references for products. If not, you can select it manually.

If you extend a contract, the created subscription lines automatically have a link to the references for subscriptions, based on which the future usage data can be found and processed.
