- Refer to contract
- You may refer to a contract that is any base contract account. The base contract accounts can be in this store, or another store with which this store has contract store path relationship. Select the contract name to which this contract refers. A contract can refer to another contract. For example, contract A can refer to contract B. Thus, a buyer who is entitled to contract A will be entitled to all the terms and conditions from contract A, as well as to all the terms and conditions in contract B. Once you have specified that a contract should refer to another contract, you can change the reference, but not the fact that the contract refers to another contract. Once a contract has been selected, the contract reference details display below this list, including the name of the store and account in which the selected contract was created.
