Guidelines for Renewing a Contract with Multiple Subscription End
Dates
If your contract contains subscriptions with different end dates, you can control how
Salesforce CPQ sets the start and end dates of your renewal quotes. This feature is useful if you
don’t want an amendment quote to coterminate with the original contract. (Salesforce CPQ Managed Package)

Available in: Salesforce CPQ Summer ’16 and later
When you renew your contract, Salesforce CPQ evaluates the contract field Amendment and Renewal
Behavior to set the start and end dates of the contract’s renewal quotes. The value of Amendment
and Renewal Behavior affects the start date on renewal quotes made from your contract.
Latest End Date: Renewal quotes on this contract set their start dates to one day after the
latest end date among all the contract’s subscriptions.
Earliest End Date: Renewal quotes on this contract set their start dates to one day after
the earliest end date among all the contract’s subscriptions.
Important The Amendment and Renewal Behavior field affects the start date of
only your renewal quote record. It doesn’t determine a value for any of the renewal quote’s
lines. By default, renewal quote lines set their start dates to one day after their parent
subscription’s end date. If the renewal quote’s start date and the day after the subscription’s
end date are the same value, the quote line has a null start date instead.
Example
You have a quote with a start date of 01/01/2018, an end date of 12/31/2018, and several
subscription products. You contract the quote to create the following subscriptions.
Contract

Start Date
End Date
Bronze Maintenance

12/31/2018
Silver Maintenance
2/1/2018
8/31/2018
Gold Maintenance

12/01/2018
When you’re ready to renew this quote, you have a few options based on the value of Amendment
and Renewal Behavior.
If your amendment and renewal behavior is the latest end date, your renewal quote has a start
date of 01/01/2019 and an end date of 12/31/2019.
If your amendment and renewal behavior follows the earliest end date, your renewal quote has a
start date of 09/01/2018 and an end date of 08/31/2019.
