You can use the Distribute Contract to Catalog field on the Header tab page of a central contract to specify whether you want the contract to be uploaded to a catalog when it is released. If a central contract is uploaded to a catalog, employees can use it as a source of supply from the catalog. This has the advantage that employees can choose items that are subject to the agreed terms and conditions of a central contract.

Uploading Central Contracts with Service Hierarchies to the SRM-MDM Catalog

You can also upload central contracts with service hierarchies to the SRM-MDM Catalog.
