How to add terms items to a trading program
Users with edit permissions for program lines have the ability to edit trading programs and add terms for the included trading partners within their access settings. If you require additional help, please reach out to our support team here.
To add terms to a trading program using the single contract creation page:
Step 1: Within your trading program, click on the Terms menu option or scroll down to the Terms section.
Step 2: Populate each terms item for your trading program.
Step 3: Once you have completed the terms items for your trading program, click the Save button at the bottom of the page. If a term is mandatory, you will be prompted to populate or select the terms item before saving. Alternatively, you can create a Program Line.
