Delete draft 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 create contracts with counterparties, reflecting different business scenarios and enabling financial operations. If needed, you can delete the contract from the system if it is unnecessary.
Important
You can only delete the first version of the contract in the Draft status. This ensures no contracts that are already validated or currently in audit are removed from the system. For these, consider the following:
-
Terminate the contract or contract version in the Active status to discontinue it instead of deleting.
-
Terminate the auditing workflow for the first version of the contract in the Auditing status to return it to Draft, and then delete the contract.
