Standard Contracts report packages

We offer several report packages that contain a variety of prebuilt Contracts reports that you can access through Customization Services or Platform Services, depending on how your company was implemented. You can use these reports as a starting point when creating your own custom Contracts reports.

You can find the following Contracts report packages in the Package Library in Platform Services or Customization Services:

  • Contract Forecast Reports
