How to Revert or Delete a Contract (Standard Agreement)

How to revert a Standard Agreement contract to draft so it can be edited or deleted.

Written by Cara Alva

Overview

Reverting a contract to draft lets you edit or delete a contract that is no longer in draft status. For most changes to an executed contract, creating a Contract Change is preferred — it maintains consistent records and avoids the downstream impacts of a revert.

Important: Reverting a contract to draft can impact other financial modules, such as your Project Budget.


Prerequisites

  • Your workspace must have created the contract.

  • The contract must not have any Invoices, Contract Changes, or open approval submissions against it (see "Why Reverting May Not Be an Option" below).


Process

Revert a contract to draft

  1. Click the three-dot menu at the top right of the contract and select Revert to Draft.

  2. To edit, click the three-dot menu again and select Edit.

Note: If the option to revert is not available, see "Why Reverting May Not Be an Option" below.


Delete a contract

Once the contract is reverted to draft:

Click the three-dot menu at the top right of the contract and select Delete.

Important: Contact your company's system administrator before deleting any contracts.


Why Reverting May Not Be an Option

You cannot revert a contract if any of the following apply:

  • There are Invoices against the contract.

  • There are Contract Changes against the contract.

  • The contract has been submitted to another workspace for approval.

  • Your workspace did not create the contract.

If the contract has been submitted for approval, the current approver in the receiving workspace must reject it first. Once rejected, you can revert and edit the contract.


What Can I Edit Without Reverting?

The following can be edited even when the contract is no longer in draft:

  • Contract Name and Custom ID

  • Vendor Contact (only to another contact within the same vendor company)

  • Assigned Project Managers

  • Initiation and Effective Dates

  • Insurance Requirements

  • Cost Codes tied to WBS 1

  • Additional Attachments

For most other edits, create a Contract Change to maintain consistent records.
