== Configuring Templates for bulk Agreements ==

Users can decide whether Model agreement and bulk agreements would have same template during the bulk creation process by configuring ''Enable Template ReEvaluation ''attribute in the bulk configuration masterdata contract type. When ''Enable Template ReEvaluation'' attribute in masterdata is set to Yes, the templates used for creating bulk agreements will be different than parent model agreement.&nbsp;

*When''Enable Template ReEvaluation'' attribute is set to ''Yes'', the ''Template Selection ''rules will be re-evaluated, and the first template from the list will be used for creating bulk agreements. The template can be same or different than model agreement depending on the configured rules. 
*When the ''Enable Template ReEvaluation'' attribute is set to ''No'', the template used for bulk created and model agreements will be same.
