Chain All Contracts is, for each contract listed in the list view of Contract Maintenance, creating a copy of that contract so that the originating contract (the one being copied from) has a ‘next contract’ value of the contract being created and thus the newly copied/chained contract has the originating contract as its ‘previous contract.’ This uses existing copy functionality where, if the contract being copied is a ‘priority contract’ or if the contract is already approved then that priority value will be reset (and the user alerted) as well as creating the copy as ‘not approved’ (all other values are copied exactly – except for: any last used date, any quote origination number, any existing ‘next-chain’ of the copy-from contract). If a contract already has a ‘next contract’ listed then it is not allowed to be copied/chained using this procedure – that contract is skipped.
