What this guide covers
Save reusable contract content. The instructions reflect the supplied module’s registered menus, controller actions, views, settings and code-backed validation flow.
Exact step-by-step process

- Choose the New, Add, Create or Start action exposed on that screen.
- Complete the required fields described below and review any linked record, currency, tax, approval or recipient selection.
- Save or submit the form once; correct any validation message rather than bypassing it.
- Open the resulting record and verify its number, status, totals, files, activity and downstream links.
