Before you begin
The contract document must have been reviewed and finalized, and the contract status must be set to Document ready. For more information, see Review a contract document in your workspace and Work on a contract change request.
If the contract request is linked to a parent contract request, the parent request must be in Contract signed or Closed complete state.
