Contract Status Picklist Values in Salesforce Contracts
The Contract Status picklist field drives the state model. The ContractManagement license adds default values to this field that map to the Object State Definition.
Default Values
Standard Salesforce orgs include three contract status values: Draft, In Approval Process, and Activated. When you enable the ContractManagement license, the system adds these additional values: Rejected, Negotiating, Awaiting Signature, Signature Declined, Signed, Canceled, Contract Expired, and Contract Terminated.
Managing the Picklist
Add custom picklist values and reorder existing values as needed.
Status values added by the ContractManagement license can't be deleted, even if you later disable the license.
Status category values can't be customized.
Don't rename default picklist values. Each value maps one-to-one to an Object State Value, and renaming breaks that mapping.
