Contracts detail page - Details

Updated over a week ago

The Details card within the contract details page shows all the key information of a contract.
Here you will find important contract parameters such as start and end dates, product information, billing configuration and contract status.

This map serves as the central, fixed reference point for anyone who needs to view or change contract information.


What does the Details map show?


The map shows:

  • Contract number

    • Unique ID

    • Always read-only

  • Linked Customer (Contractor)

    • Customer name + customer number

  • Linked product

    • Clickable link to product details

    • Determines rates and services

  • Start date

    • Date on which the contract comes into effect

    • Always read-only

  • End date

    • Automatically calculated based on service end dates

    • Read-only

    • May be empty with ongoing contracts

  • Signing date

    • Date the contract was signed

    • Only visible for Signed contracts

  • Payment term

    • Determines the payment term of invoices

  • External reference (optional)

    • Optional

    • Useful for synchronization with CRM or DMS

    • Editable (with permission)

In addition, customer and product are clickable links for quick navigation.


Status of a contract

A clear status badge will appear at the top of the page:

  • Draft (blue) – in preparation

  • Sent (green) – sent, waiting for signature

  • Signed (green) – active

  • Cancelled (yellow) – cancelled before signing

  • Terminated (red) – terminated

Status logic

  • Contracts can go through the following statuses:
    Draft → Sent → Signed → (Cancelled/Terminated)

  • A contract that is signed while the end date is in the past → Automatically Terminated.


Actions within the Details card

Fields you can edit

  • Payment Terms

  • External Reference

Read-only:

  • Contract number

  • Start date

  • End date

  • Billing type

  • Product

  • Contractor

  • Signing date

Navigation actions

  • Click on Contractor → open customer details

  • Click on Product → open product details


Behaviors & Logic

Date logic

  • Start date can never be changed after creation.

  • End date is determined fully automatically by the system:

    • The system always takes the last service end date as the contract end date.

  • Once the end date passes, the contract will automatically be Terminated.


Conduct at the end of a contract

When the contract ends:

  • Status becomes “Terminated”

  • All underlying services will be terminated on the same date

  • New invoices are no longer generated

  • Existing invoices remain available


Problem

Solution

Status does not change to Signed

End date is in the past → contract is automatically terminated

Date fields appear incorrect

Check service dates in Locations map

External reference cannot be adjusted

Check permissions and contract status

Payment Terms are completely missing

Contract is Prepayment → field is never shown




Can I change the start date?
No, this isn't possible. If this is incorrect, create a new contract.

How do I change the end date?
Not directly – end date follows automatically from service end dates.

What happens when the contract expires?
Status automatically becomes “Terminated” and billing stops.

What is the difference between Cancelled and Terminated?

  • Cancelled: contract never became active

  • Terminated: Active contract that ends (manually or automatically)

Can the system automatically renew contracts?
No, extension is done manually.

Can I fill in the external reference?
Yes, with permissions.
