Duplicating a contract (Enterprise)

Duplicating a contract creates a draft version of an existing contract. The new draft version of the contract has a different name, but all the other contract information is the same as the original. You can duplicate any contract.

If you want to create a new version of an existing contract with the same name, you should create a new version of the contract. You can only create a new version of an approved, active, or suspended contract. Deploying a new version of a contract, moves the original contract into the closed state.

To create a new contract by copying an existing contract:

1. Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
2. From the Sales menu, click Accounts.
   The Account List page displays, containing business accounts currently defined for the selected store. If you do not see this menu, then your logon ID does not have the appropriate authority to perform this task. Contact your Site Administrator.
3. Select the check box to the left of the business account that has the contract you want to duplicate. Click Contracts. The Contract List page displays, containing contracts currently defined for the selected business account.
4. Select the check box to the left of the contract that you want to duplicate. Click Duplicate. The Duplicate Contract dialog displays.
5. Enter a new name for the duplicate contract and click OK. The Contract List page displays.
6. Select the check box to the left of the new copy of the contract. Click Change. The Contract notebook opens.
7. Update the fields for each page as required, and use the links on the left side to switch between pages.
8. Click OK to save the updated contract and close the notebook.
