The status of a contract
containing non-catalog items is Processed and the associated contract
subscription was validated but not yet activated. Once a change
occurs that pushes the status of the contract to Open, the contract
subscription status becomes Activated. For example, if the contract's
start date is in the future, it is in the Processed status until
that date is reached.
Activated
The status of a contract containing non-catalog items is Open.
When the contract is activated, the non-catalog items are made
available in the Ariba Buyer product catalog for users to search
and order.
Activating pending type activation
The contract subscription contains
a type definition that has been enabled for testing. The status
changes back to Activated after the type is activated.
Deactivated
The status of a contract containing
non-catalog items is Closed. When the contract is deactivated, the
items are not available in the Ariba Buyer product catalog.
Deactivating pending type activation
The contract subscription contains
attributes that do not match a type definition that has been enabled
for testing. If the type errors in the subscription are not fixed
before the type is activated, the subscription will be deactivated
and it's items made unavailable to users.
Validation Error
The contract subscription contains
an error. View the error in Ariba Buyer Administrator and then edit
the original Contract Request (CR) and resubmit the CR for approval.
