Steps: Configure Customer Contracts

Steps: Configure Customer Contracts

Customer contracts enable you to capture the details of customer sales agreements. These details include sales items or projects, important dates, payment schedules, milestones, and retention. Workday uses the details that you specify to calculate billing and determine revenue recognition. You can configure each step of the contract lifecycle from draft to completion, and you can route customer contracts for automatic approval. Workday can also integrate data from third-party vendors to support contract management.
