Contract Type Controls Everything

Every contract references a contract type. The contract type controls all aspects of a contract's behavior including how service is started, how bills are created, how its financial transactions are booked in the general ledger, and much more. We don't explain how to set up contract types in this section because it's only after you have set up all of the control tables in this manual that you'll be able to finally define your contract types.
