The Contract Admin Area lets administrators correct and adjust active contract details that fall outside standard workflows. Use it to fix data errors and keep contract records accurate without undoing approvals.
Prerequisites
You need the Admin role. Access to the Contract Admin Area is restricted.
Open the Contract Admin Area
- Open the contract you want to adjust.
- In the tab bar, click More Options.
- Click Admin > Go to Admin Area. Result: The Contract Admin Area opens.
Key ideas: Administrator capabilities
In the Admin Area, you can make these adjustments:
Change Initial End Dates: Correct or adjust the initial end date of a contract, even after it has been activated. Use this to fix data entry errors or apply pre-agreed changes.
Change imported variation value: Amend variation data fields that were brought in during implementation, so historical data is accurate.
Reassign Vendors: Change the vendor on a contract for internal restructures, or when you don’t need a formal novation process.
View and update extensions: Edit extension or variation details that are already approved, without redoing the approval process.
Link to Procurement Plan: Connect a contract to its procurement plan to improve visibility and create an audit trail.
Go to Market Request details: Connect a contract to its originating market request (for example, an RFP or RFQ) to complete the contract lifecycle trail.
Troubleshooting
- I don’t see Admin Area under More Options. Your account may not have the Admin role or permissions. Ask your system administrator to check your access.
