Central Contract. Doubt with Status: In renewal

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I'm working in a new implementation of SRM 7.01 in extended classic scenario.

We create contracts directly in Contract Managment and we have the following process:

•User creates a contract (Contract A),  save and release. The new status is: released.  There is not approval WF. 

•Through the button: Renew, the system creates a new RFX and the Contract has a new status: In renewal

•In SoCo we create RFx Response and then we accepted one of them

•Finally,  We create a new Contract, through the button: Create Contract for this Response  in the Rfx Response . And the system creates new one (Contract B).

The doubt is if we have a new contract (Contract B) and this contract was assigned to previous RFX and previous Contract (Contract A), Why Does is the status of contract:A still in Renewal? The system should change the status of contract:A  to Completed or something like this?

The user requested that the previous contract has status completed or something similar if we have created a new contract in the RFx Response. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tania,

Once you create an RFx out the contract , the system changes the status of this contract to( in renewal) . From the response of this newly created Rfx you must update the original contract ,that is when the system will have the complete reference.

When you create a new contract out the Rfx response , the old contract will not have any reference . You can create N number of contracts from this rfx response. The system cannot go and update the original contract with all the new contracts that you created.

Thanks Naveen,

So, it is necessary an enhancement in order to cover the request of client. Any suggestion?
