Copying a Contract Header and Blocks

Access the Copy Contract form.

The system sets the status of a copied contract to draft and the renew type to nonrenewable.

You can copy an existing contract header to use as a template for another contract header and minimize redundant data entry. The system copies the following information from the original contract header to the new contract header:

• Business unit, currency code, and geographic ID.

  You cannot change the business unit, currency code, and geographic ID of a copied contract, so ensure that the contract that you are copying from has the correct values.

• Contract type, ownership, delivery form, price type, contract manager and buyer, and commodity code.

  You can change this information:

• Clauses.

• Payment schedule.

• Action dates.

• Additional information.

• Block records that are associated with the contract header.

The system does not copy the contracting entity, contract start and end dates, amendments, or harvest records that are associated with the blocks.
