Upgrade Steps

Action

Further Information

Ensure that the users that are going to manage purchase contracts are assigned at least the SCM - Manage Purchase Contracts permissions set.

Note: To apply change requests to contracts with associated recurring purchase orders, users must have the Edit permission on the Purchase Order Line Item object. We recommend that you also assign the SCM - Process Acquisitions permission set to these users. This permission set provides them with the required permissions.

Permission Sets and Other Technical Documentation

 

Assigning and Removing Permission Sets

Ensure the Purchase Contract Lightning Page is activated.

For information about activating Lightning Experience record pages, see the Salesforce Help.

Add the new Renewal Reminder field to the Purchase Contract Layout page. For more information about page layouts, see the Salesforce Help.

We recommend that you edit the Purchase Contract object's Compact Layout to show the following fields in the Highlights Panel:

  • Supplier Site
  • Record Type
  • Start Date
  • End Date
  • Days Until Expiration
  • Status.

This prevents duplicate fields from being displayed both in the Highlights Panel and the summary cards section.

For more information about compact layouts, see the Salesforce Help.

Adding Components to Lightning Pages

 

Creating Purchase Contract Lines

Ensure the SCM Change Requests Related List component is added to your custom purchase contract's Lightning record page.

Creating a Change Request

Ensure the Apply Change Request Lightning action is added to your custom purchase contract's record page. This can be done by using Dynamic Actions in the Lightning App Builder. We recommend that you configure this action so it is displayed when you are on a purchase contract record of type Change Request with status "Approved".

For information about creating dynamic actions in the Lightning App Builder, see the Salesforce Help.

 

Applying a Change Request

Add the Revert Status Lightning action to your custom purchase contract's record page. This can be done by using Dynamic Actions in the Lightning App Builder. We recommend that you configure this action so that it only displays for purchase contracts of type Change Request that have a status of "Approved" or "Submitted for Approval". To ensure optimal performance and avoid inconsistencies, we also recommend that you configure your custom purchase contract's record page so that it does not display the Cancel Purchase Contract action for purchase contracts of type Change Request.

For information about creating dynamic actions in the Lightning App Builder, see the Salesforce Help.

 

For more information about Lightning pages, see the Salesforce Help.

 

Reverting the Status of a Change Request
Add the Create Renewal Lightning action to your custom purchase contract's record page. This can be done by using Dynamic Actions in the Lightning App Builder. We recommend that you configure this action so that it is displayed when you are on a purchase contract record of type Purchase Contract with a status of "Active", "Expired", or a custom status.

For information about creating dynamic actions in the Lightning App Builder, see the Salesforce Help.

 

Renewing a Purchase Contract
Add the new Renewal Reminder field to the page layout for purchase contracts. For more information about page layouts, see the Salesforce Help.
If the summary card section is displayed in your custom purchase contract's Lightning record page, we recommend that you edit its custom compact layout to show the following fields in the Highlights Panel: Supplier Site, Record Type, Start Date, End Date, Days Until Expiration, and Status. This prevents duplicate fields from being displayed both in the Highlights Panel and the summary cards section. For more information about compact layouts, see the Salesforce Help.
