Create a new version of a contract (Enterprise)
Create a new version of a contract creates a draft version of an existing contract. This new version has the same name as the original contract, but the version number is incremented. When you deploy a new version of a contract, the existing contract is moved to the closed state. You can create a new version of a contract for contracts that are in the approved, active, or suspended states.
If you want to create a new version of an existing contract with a different name, you should duplicate a contract. Duplicating a contract does not move the existing contract into the closed state.

- Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
- From the Sales menu, click Accounts.
