Zurich |
- Renew a service contract
- Initiate renewals from contracts at either the line level or the contract level. The resulting renewal quotes and orders generate a new contract that is associated with the original contract in the renewal history.
- Add contract lines to a service contract
- Add new line items to an existing contract by initiating the flow from contract. You can also add new line items to an existing contract while modifying a quote or contract.
- Modify a service contract
- Initiate a modification from the contract header to generate a quote or order containing all contract lines. You can also select specific contract lines and initiate a modification, resulting in a quote or order that
includes only the selected lines.
- Upsell or Downsell a service contract line
- Select one or more root contract lines to adjust quantities. You can add or reduce quantities on a contract line by selecting the Upsell or Downsell feature. After updating the quantities of the contract lines, a single
quote or order is generated with the updated quote lines.
- Support Price Ramps in contract
- Enable customers to specify price ramps for a product or service in a single quote. When the quote is completed and the order process is finalized, the contract captures the new pricing details.
- Enhancements in Renewals workflow
-

- Renewed quotes automatically update when new products are added to auto-renewed contracts.

improve operational efficiency across multiple renewal by eliminating reducing duplication.
- Contracts hierarchical list
- Enable agents to view contract lines under a customer contract record as a collapsible hierarchical list, making it easier to apply workflows at the appropriate root level and navigate complex product offering
hierarchies.
- Contract renewal performance improvements
- Reduce processing time for large-scale renewals by enabling asynchronous processing for contract renewal workflows across quotes, orders, and opportunities.
