Creating an Extended Contract 

Use

You create an extended contract from an existing sales document (customer order or contract) in order to maintain and track additional information that is not available as part of standard sales order processing, as well as to use advanced order processing and billing functions, such as alternative document billing structures, ITD billing, fund assignment etc.

Prerequisites

See Extended Contract Maintenance.
