    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 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
