The Problem
If you’re dealing with amendments on MDQ products, you may have realized you can’t do this…
- Click Amend on Contract
- Set Start Date past first segment
- Save Quote
You get the below error:
The Answer
Huzzah! There is an answer! The answer is…
Contract -> Amendment Start Date
- Set Amendment Start Date on Contract past first segment
- Click Amend on Contract
- Set Start Date past first segment
- Save Quote
No error! Happy Quoting!
Another thing!
If you do the above and find that the amendment is showing all 4 segments, it’s because you’re setting the Quote Start Date to the Contract Start Date on Insert of Amendment Quote. Don’t do that!
Hi Dennis, Sorry I am new to CPQ, I am not getting the last part. could you please give an example for the ‘Another thing’ .
Thanks,
Rosario
I hope I got you. Instead of contract start date, it needs to be amendment start date applied to quote start date.
Yes!
I found this out the hard way myself, too! Because this field is key for MDQ, I actually set up a screen flow triggered from a new Amend button to force a user to set the amendment start date before being passed to the usual amendment visualforce page. And removed the standard amendment button from the contract page layout.
