Adding an Amendment to an Agreement[edit]


= Adding an Amendment to an Agreement =

You cannot edit an Agreement that is in&nbsp;''Executed&nbsp;''state (signed by both internal and external parties). To make any changes to an executed Agreement, you must add an Amendment to it.&nbsp;ICI provides a comparison of the Attribute values for the first version of an Amendment by comparing these with the parent Agreement values. These changes are displayed in the ''History'' tab of the Amendment as well as in the ''Attribute Value Report'' for easy understanding of the changes being done during an Amendment.

== Configuring Attribute inheritance for amendments at contract type level ==

ICI now provides the flexibility to decide which attributes of an agreement can be copied to amendments at the contract type level, as per business requirements. Configurators can enable or disable the attribute’s inheritance for amendments, using the ''Is Inherit'' ''On Amendments''&nbsp;flag, at the agreement contract type and template variable levels. Users can then copy these defined attribute values from base agreement to amendment during amendment creation.

'''Note''':&nbsp;

*The technical configuration settings for excluding parent agreement attributes from its amendments will always take preference over the settings at agreement contract type and template level. 
*The existing validations or dependencies for an attribute’s properties set for the agreement will not be inherited to amendments. 

Configurators can enable or disable the attribute’s inheritance for amendments using “Is Inherit On Amendments attribute” at the agreement contract type and template variable levels during creating or updating process.

To enable the attributes inheritance:

1.&nbsp;'''Click''' ''Configuration'' > ''Contract Types'' on the ''Home'' page. The ''Contract Types'' index page opens.

2.&nbsp;'''Click''' ''View Record'' icon corresponding to the contract type you want to define the sorting order for. For example, ''Inline Association Test''. The ''Contract Type Details'' page opens.

3.&nbsp;'''Click''' ''Edit''. The ''Edit Contract Type'' page opens.

4.&nbsp;'''Click''' ''Next''. The ''Attributes'' page opens.

5.&nbsp;'''Select''' the ''Attribute'' in the ''Selected Attributes'' pane. For example, ''Contract Value''. The ''Edit Attributes'' section opens.

6.&nbsp;'''Toggle''' the ''Is Inherit'' ''On Amendments'' field to ''On''.

'''Note''':&nbsp;By default, the ''Is Inherit On Amendments'' property is ''On'' for attributes. Configurator should consider the behavior of the rest of the attribute properties along with ''Is Inherit On Amendments'' before setting it to Off.&nbsp;

7.&nbsp;'''Click''' ''Save''. The ''Attribute'' will be updated.

8. '''Click''' ''Next''. The ''Association'' page opens.

9.&nbsp;'''Enter''' details in the ''Association'', ''Display Preference'' and ''Team'' tabs.

10. '''Verify''' the details and '''click''' ''Update''. The Contract Type will be updated.<br/> &nbsp;

To add Amendment to an Agreement:&nbsp;

1. On the&nbsp;''Agreement Details''&nbsp;page, '''click'''&nbsp;''Add Amendment''. The&nbsp;''Add Amendment''&nbsp;page opens.

2. On the&nbsp;''Attributes''&nbsp;tab, make changes to the information that you want to update, and then '''click'''&nbsp;''Next''. The ''Select Template'' page opens.

3. Select an appropriate template, and then '''click '''''Next''. The&nbsp;''Verify''&nbsp;tab opens.

4. On the&nbsp;''Verify''&nbsp;tab, verify the information that you have updated, and then '''click'''&nbsp;''Create''. The&nbsp;''Amendment Details''&nbsp;page opens. The Amendment moves to the&nbsp;''Draft''&nbsp;state.

5. On the&nbsp;''Amendment Details''&nbsp;page, do the following:&nbsp;

6.&nbsp;'''Click''' the buttons as appropriate:
<ul style="margin-left: 40px;">
<li>'''Download Document'''&nbsp;to download the document for review.&nbsp;</li>
<li>'''Upload Document'''&nbsp;to upload the document.&nbsp;</li>
<li>'''Edit'''&nbsp;to edit the Amendment.&nbsp;</li>
<li>'''Publish'''&nbsp;to publish the Amendment.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

The parent Agreement appears on the upper right corner above the Amendment summary.&nbsp;

During the Amendment creation process (either in pre-Draft or Draft state), ICI&nbsp;captures and displays the changes made to the attribute values. This applies to amendments created through the UI, Excel Add-in and API calls.

''7.&nbsp;''''''Click''' ''Add Amendment'' on the executed base Agreement, the ''Attributes'' page of the Amendment creation process opens.

*The ''Is Inherit On Amendments'' attribute property is only available for Agreement contract types &nbsp;and Template variables. 
*When the ''Is Inherit On Amendments'' is set to Off for an attribute, its value will not be inherited to its amendment. However if that attribute has any default value, it will be auto-populated in amendment s except for amendments created through Bulk Actions. 
*The technical configuration settings for excluding base agreement attributes from its amendments will always take precedence over the settings at agreement contract type and template level. For example, if the attribute Contract value has Is Inherit On Amendments set to On at contract type level, but set to be excluded in a config key, the value for Contract Type will not be inherited to its amendment.

Templates are displayed&nbsp;in a ''Grid ''view by default which includes columns based on template metadata such as, template name, template status, etc. or extended template metadata if configured in your instance. Through a technical configuration, you can specify which columns should display on the grid.

The attributes which have inheritance enabled for amendments at Template Variables level, will have their values copied from the base agreement template and are auto-filled on the Template Variables page. For example, attribute Product Brand has its value Icertis, copied from the base agreement template.

=== Creating an Amendment&nbsp;without referencing parent Agreement ===

You can also create Amendments without referencing their parent Agreements which may be difficult to identify or retrieve, in cases like legacy mergers and acquisitions. So, you can now amend Terms and Conditions of all such Agreements that are not stored in ICI.&nbsp;Support for creation of such Amendments is also available using the Bulk Upload functionality of Excel Add-in.

== Adding Amendments on expired agreements&nbsp; ==

The process to add amendments has been standardized by providing the option to add amendments to expired agreements. The amendment creation for expired agreement follows the existing ICI amendment workflow. The agreement is then revived by extending its expiry date as per the amendment.&nbsp;<br/> Add Amendment action is configurable through role action mapping on the expired state of agreement and by default, primary owner, secondary owner and contract manager can add amendments to the expired agreements.<br/> the process is standardized by providing the option to add amendments to expired agreements.

The expiry date field can be configured to be superseded at the agreement contract type level. In such case, when users set the amendment’s expiry date greater than that of parent agreement, then the parent agreement’s expiry date is reset. The agreement moves back to its previous state such as ''Executed'' or ''Reviewed''.

If the user sets the amendment’s expiry date same as parent agreement’s expiry date, then the parent agreement remains in the ''Expired'' state. If the user sets the amendment’s expiry date same as parent agreement’s expiry date, then the parent agreement remains in the ''Expired'' state.

For example, AmendmentOnExpiredAgreement’s expiry date is reset as its amendment’s expiry date is greater and it moves back to its previous ''Executed'' state.

== Reviving a terminated agreement&nbsp; ==

Users may terminate an agreement with the other party for various business reasons. To improve usability, ICI provides the capability to add and execute amendments on a terminated agreement. This considerably saves time for users who may want to re-instantiate their existing relationship with the other party, as they no longer need to create an entirely new agreement and go through several workflows such as clause deviations clearance, template process, and so on.

<br/> Adding and executing an amendment on a terminated agreement will move the agreement back to the “Executed” or “Expired” state, based on its expiry date, thus reviving the terminated agreement. The system sets an identifier attribute "Is Termination Revived" for such revived base agreements, and users can use them in search filters, notification rules while configuring saved searches, and so on.<br/> By default, only primary owners and contract managers can add an amendment to the terminated agreement. The access privileges are controlled through role action mapping.&nbsp;<br/> '''&nbsp;'''

=== Adding Amendments to terminated agreement from the Agreement Details page ===

Users can add an amendment to a terminated agreement using the ''Add Amendment'' action available on the agreement Details page.

== Enabling superseding of attribute values for amendments&nbsp; ==

In ICI, users could supersede all attributes of a parent agreement configured as ‘supersedable’ with values from its amendment, either manually using the “Supersede” action or automatically through the auto-supersede task. Users can now selectively supersede individual entities based on business conditions.

The administrator can control&nbsp;the supersede functionality for agreements by:

*Enabling auto supersede option at the contract type level. 
*Configuring the ''Supersede Rule''&nbsp;with ''Is Supersede by Amendments''&nbsp;or ''Is Supersede by Termination''&nbsp;options. 
*Selecting attributes in rule actions based on the selected Supersede On option.&nbsp; 

Users can view the attribute’s supersede value on the agreement and the captured history as per the rule execution. When no rule is configured, the supersede functionality will work as per existing ICI behavior.

Users can enable the superseding of attributes on amendments and Termination agreements while creating or updating an agreement contract type.<br/> In case of termination, auto supersede property is enabled on the parent contract type. The supersede rule is configured on the child termination instance. The attributes selection dropdown in the supersede rule may contain more attributes then the actuals supersedable attributes as one termination contract type may be linked to multiple other agreement contract types as termination contract type.

To enable superseding:

1.&nbsp;Click&nbsp;''Configuration > Create Contract Types ''on the''Home ''page''. ''The''Select Contract Types page ''opens''.''
<div class="image-green-border">''[[File:614963-Enable superseding4-7.15.png|720px|614963-Enable superseding4-7.15.png]]''</div>

= Configuring Attributes Inheritance for Amendments at Contract Type level =

ICI already provided the capability to exclude specific agreement attributes from being copied to the amendment through technical configuration which applied to all agreement contract types by default.&nbsp;<br/> ICI now provides the flexibility for users to decide which attributes of an agreement can be copied to amendments, per contract type, as per business requirements. Configurators can enable or disable the attribute’s inheritance for amendments, using the “Is Inherit On Amendments” property at the agreement contract type and template variable levels. Users can then copy these defined attributes values from base agreement to amendment during amendment creation.<br/> &nbsp;
<div class="image-green-border">'''[[File:Add Amendment 1.png|720px|Add Amendment 1]]&nbsp;'''</div> 
&nbsp;
<div class="note-box">Note:&nbsp;<br/> - The technical configuration settings for excluding parent agreement attributes from its amendments will always take preference over the settings at agreement contract type and template level.<br/> - The existing validations or dependencies for an attribute’s properties set for the agreement will not be inherited to amendments.</div> 
&nbsp;

== Enabling Attribute Inheritance for Amendments at the Contract Type level ==

Configurators can enable or disable the attribute’s inheritance for amendments using “Is Inherit On Amendments attribute” at the agreement contract type and template variable levels during creating or updating process.
