Initiate an amendment request from your workspace.

A sample workflow while submitting on an amendment request would be:

1. Initiate an amendment request from the workspace using the Initiate contract option.
2. Enter amendment details and submit the request.
{#cncore-initiate-amedment__ol_wxx_qwm_fhc}

The initiated amendment is assigned according to an assignment rule or manually by a contract fulfiller or a group manager. The contract administrator can modify the assignment rule to specify the group to which the contract
request should be assigned.

## Antes de Iniciar

* Amendment requests can only be submitted for contracts in the Active state. If a contract is in Draft state and Awaiting Review substate, manually approve it before submitting an amendment request. For more information on how to approve a contract, see [Approve contracts to allow amendments](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_fTbT_XJ0_PEgmtRcj1Ksg "Amendment requests can only be submitted for contracts in the Active state. If a contract is in Draft state and Awaiting Review substate, you need to manually approve it before submitting an amendment request.").
* Verify that the initiate contract button has been added to your workspace. For more information, see [Add a workspace action button for initiating a contract request](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Y53mav3pHvNJVjw2VWD_tw "Define an action button in your workspace and map it to the built-in action that initiates a contract request.").
* To copy field values from the parent contract request to the amendment request, configure the ContractManagementExt extension point. For more information, see [Copy fields from parent request to amendment request](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nfetgPizBHIxts9kFMDPEw "Configure the ContractManagementExt extension point to automatically copy fields to contract request from the linked parent request and parent contract.").
* Verify you have a contract configuration with the request type set as amendment to copy values from amendment request to the contract repository. For more information, see [Create a contract configuration](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Xw3e2dUxSx3GNNWFXZDcbg "Define the contract repository where the contracts will be stored and map the data to be added to the contract or amendment document.").
* Verify you have a contract template rule to identify the amendment document template to be used for generating the contract document for an amendment request. For more information, see [Configure contract template rules](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ASucrxnPlR8XmJx6PobOwA "Configure a rule to identify the contract document template used for generating the contract document for a request.").
