NEW: The existing Cloud Materials, Orders and Contracts cards have been merged into one new consolidated and customizable Cloud Contracts card
The Cloud Contracts tab lets you review and manage your SAP Cloud Contracts for your customers.
Cloud Contract Overview
- Pre-filtered by current and future contracts and sorted by contract end date, so that contracts that are up for renewal are highlighted and listed at the top.
- Structured along the Contract ID of your SAP Order Form (also referred to as CMS Case ID):
- Auto Renewals: Your contract renews automatically and keeps the same Contract ID as on the initial order form, if no changes have been made. Only start and end dates change.
- Active Renewals: You need to engage with your SAP representative and sign a new order form for your renewal contract. You receive a new Contract ID.
- Auto Renewals: Your contract renews automatically and keeps the same Contract ID as on the initial order form, if no changes have been made. Only start and end dates change.
