What validation checks are performed for contract terms templates?

The application performs validation checks for all contract terms templates. You must fix all errors before templates can be sent for approval. Fixing warnings is optional.

Here are the validations for terms templates, including validations for terms template that contain deliverables.

Validation Check	Type	Action
The template contains incompatible clauses.	Warning	Remove one of the incompatible clauses.
A clause you added to the template is in the draft status.	Error	While you can add draft clauses when creating a contract terms template, these clauses must be approved before the template can be sent for approval. If you create the draft clauses as part of the contract terms template, then these clauses are submitted for approval along with the template.
A clause in the template is in inactive, on hold, or rejected status. If a previous approved version of the clause is available, then this message does not appear.
