Updating extended terms of a contract or account

Use HCL Commerce Accelerator to change the values of terms in contracts or accounts.

Before you begin

Note: From HCL Commerce Version 9.1.10 onwards, the registry can be updated through the Management Center. See Updating extended terms of a contract or account through the Management Center for more information.

Ensure that the term properties that you want to change are set with changeable=true in the TCConfigurationExt.xml file.


<TCDefinition type="SurChargeTC" existing="false"
usage="Contract" display="true">
        <Display displayNameKey="SurChargeTC"
descriptionKey="SurChargeTCDescription"/>
        <Property name="waiveSurCharge" column="INTEGERFIELD1"
required="true" changeable="true">
                <Display displayNameKey="waiveSurCharge"
descriptionKey="waiveSurChargeDescription"/>
        </Property>
        <Property name="surChargeAmount" column="FLOATFIELD1"
required="false" changeable="true">
                <Display displayNameKey="surChargeAmount"
descriptionKey="surChargeAmountDescription"/>
        </Property>
</TCDefinition>

Ensure that the CHANGEABLE column of the TERMCOND table for the extended term is set to 1. If the value for the column is not set to 1, the properties values are disabled and cannot be changed.

Procedure

Click Sales > Accounts > Contracts.
On the Contract list page, select the contract to be changed.
Click the Update Extended TC button.
On the Extended Terms page, select the tab corresponding to the extended term to be modified.
Make the appropriate changes to the term properties.
Click OK to save the term's property values to the TERMCOND table.
