 +When processing a contract renewal: 
 + 
 +  - Input the End Date for the renewed contract period. 
 + 
 +**Important**: Ensure date integrity across contract versions: 
 + 
 +  * The Start Date and End Date of the renewal must not overlap with any other versions of the contract. 
 +  * This temporal separation maintains clear delineation between contract periods and prevents potential conflicts    in contract management. 
 +     
 +Adherence to this protocol is crucial for maintaining accurate contract chronology and ensuring proper version control within the system.

 + 
 +----- 
 +**Estimated Volume - Update based on Actuals or Base** 
 + 
 +To update Estimated Volume calculations based on historical data: 
 + 
 +  - First, save the renewed contract version. 
 +  - Re-enter edit mode for the contract. 
 +  - Navigate to the Products screen. 
 +  - Select the relevant product rows for volume adjustment. 
 +  - Locate and select the "Mass Update" function at the bottom of the Products interface. 
 + 
 +This functionality enables bulk volume updates based on either: 
 + 
 +  * Actual payment data from the previous contract period 
 +  * Established base data metrics 
 + 
 +**Note**: The initial save of the renewed contract is a prerequisite for accessing the mass update functionality. 
 + 
 + 
 +{{:pasted:20240806-160845.png}} 
 + 
 +To configure volume calculations in the Mass Update interface: 
 + 
 +  - Enable the Estimated Quantity option by selecting its corresponding checkbox. 
 +  - From the available data source options in the dropdown menu, select either:  Actual Data: Historical     transaction data from previous contract period OR Base Data: Standardized baseline metrics 
 +     
 +This selection determines the reference data that will be used to calculate the new estimated quantities for the selected products. 
 + 
 + 
 +{{:pasted:20240806-160924.png}} 
 + 
 +Upon selecting the data source, the interface will update as follows: 
 + 
 +  - The label will change to "Modify by Percent." 
 +  - A field for percentage input will become available. 
 + 
 +Percentage Adjustment Options: 
 + 
 +a. To maintain current volumes: 
 +  * Retain the default value of 0.00% 
 +  * This action will carry forward the actual volumes from the selected data source without modification. 
 + 
 +b. To implement a volume increase: 
 +  * Input the desired percentage increase 
 +  * Example: Entering 5.00% will apply a 5% increase to the actual volume of all selected products. 
 + 
 +**Note**: The percentage adjustment is uniformly applied to all products selected in the mass update process. 
 + 
 + 
 +{{:pasted:20240806-160943.png}} 
 + 
 +To finalize the volume adjustments: 
 + 
 +  - Locate the "Apply" button within the Mass Update interface. 
 +  - Click "Apply" to execute the volume modifications. 
 + 
 +This action will implement the specified percentage adjustment across all selected products on the contract, updating their estimated quantities accordingly. 
 + 
 +**Note**: Ensure all desired products are selected and the correct percentage is entered before applying the changes, as this action will affect all chosen items simultaneously. 
 + 
 +

 +  * Relevant historical context 
 +  * Current terms and conditions 
 +  * Special considerations 
 +  * Other essential documentation 
 + 
 +This manual transfer of notes ensures continuity of critical contract information and maintains comprehensive documentation for the renewed agreement.

 +  * Select "No" to: Remain in the current renewal version, Continue with the modification process

-{{:pasted:20141218-143935.png}}+ 
 +Upon submission of a renewal, the Contract ID is automatically revised to reflect its current status in the lifecycle. The versioning system adheres to the following format: 
 + 
 +R[x].A[y] 
 +'R' denotes Renewal 
 +'A' denotes Amendment 
 +'xrepresents the number of renewals 
 +'y' represents the number of amendments 
 + 
 +In this instance: 
 + 
 +  * The Contract ID now displays "R1.A0", indicating: 
 +  - This is the first renewal (R1) 
 +  - No amendments have been made to this renewal (A0) 
 + 
 +**Note**: For contracts that have undergone neither renewals nor amendments, the Contract ID is appended with "R0.A0". 
 + 
 +This systematic versioning provides a clear, chronological record of contract modifications, facilitating efficient tracking and management throughout the contract lifecycle.
