This topic describes the main features of the Contracts module.

Contract management

Contracts

In the navigation pane on the left, click Contracts > Contract Management > Contracts to open the Business Contracts page. On this page, channel partners can manage framework contracts for enterprise procurement by distributors.

  • View contract: Click View to see the content of the contract.

  • Upload offline contract: Click Upload Offline Contract, specify the contract name, effective time, and expiration time, and then upload the file. When you upload an offline contract, the system automatically overwrites the original online contract. The validity of the contract is determined by the specified effective and expiration times.
