            Things to Know About Contracts

            When you create a contract, consider the type of information that’s needed to maximize the quality of your data.

            Required Editions

            Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
            Available in: Performance and Developer Editions
            Available in: Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited Editions with Sales
            • The start date (required)
            • How long the contract will be in effect: the term in months (required)
            • The end date

            Some admins configure Salesforce to calculate the contract end date based on the contract start date and contract term. If the contract end date is calculated, it doesn’t appear on the contract’s edit page.

            If you use divisions (Salesforce Classic only), the division of a new contract is set to the division of the related account.

            • Contract Fields
              Your page layout and field-level security settings determine which fields are visible and editable.
