Prerequisites
Procedure
The contract moves to a Closed status when one of the following events occurs:
- The contract’s expiration date has been reached.
- You close the contract manually with the Close command.
For contracts without release orders that can be invoiced or received against, the contract is closed, and contract subscriptions are deactivated when it is fully invoiced or fully received. If a contract expired or is closed manually, contract subscriptions will not be deactivated until the contract is fully received or fully invoiced.
When a contract that has pending requisitions associated with it is manually closed, the submitted requisitions are automatically removed from the submitted status.
Requisitions that are automatically withdrawn need to be manually edited and then manually resubmitted. The contract attached to these requisitions is not automatically detached. This allows the user who selected the contract to review the impact and choose another contract or make other adjustments to the purchase.
Automatic withdrawal does not happen in the following cases:
- The available amount of the contract reaches zero because release orders have been applied against the available amount balance.
- You modify the original CR (Contract Request) and the available amount reaches zero because the contract's maximum commitment is set lower than the amount used. In this situation, the contract is automatically closed.
- The contract was automatically selected for the requisition. In this case, the requisition remains in the submitted status, but the contract is automatically detached from it. The price is recalculated to the original customer catalog price, and the approval process is reevaluated. Similarly, if a requisition is in the composing status, the contract is automatically detached from it.
- If a contract is reopened, the withdrawn requisitions are not automatically resubmitted.
