Close contract
A contract is an agreement between the sponsor and the vendor for certain services to be financially compensated on the established terms.
In CTMS, you can close the contracts that have fulfilled their purpose. Closure is usually applied if there are no more contractual obligations between the counterparties.
Important
You cannot close a contract in the Draft or Auditing status.
