The requester specifies the number of days prior to the contract expiration date when this message is sent.

The MasterAgreementExpirationNotifier scheduled task sends this notification message to users.

When a contract is nearing expiration, Ariba Contract Compliance emails a notification message to the requester and to users who have permission to edit the contract (typically purchasing agents), informing them that the contract will expire in a specific number of days.

What happens next depends on your company’s policies for contracts. Usually, the contract will expire on the date indicated, but it can be renewed if allowed by your company’s business process.
