Only a Contract Manager on the contract record can update an existing contract record.

If needed, check out the contract record, under Contract Actions.  Make and save your changes.  If the contract record was checked out, be sure to check it back in under Contract Actions.

Once a contract record is Executed: In Effect or beyond (e.g. Expired), the following fields are no longer updatable: Contract Type, Start Date, an earlier End Date, Contract Parties.  If one of these fields needs to be corrected, select Amend Contract Action, set Use Contract Template to No and Include the latest attachment versions to Yes.  It is a best practice to provide an explanation of why the Amend feature was used, what was corrected, in the Summary field on the Contract Header.

Complete contract records must Return to Executed, under Contract Actions, before being able to make changes. 

Terminated contract records cannot be updated.
