# Configure agreement settings

Administrators can configure agreement types and the default agreement duration used when managing agreements. These settings ensure consistency, help reduce manual input, and align agreement setup with your business needs.

In this topic, learn how to:

- [Define agreement types](/main/docs/configure-agreement-settings#define-agreement-types)
- [Define default agreement duration](/main/docs/configure-agreement-settings#define-default-agreement-duration)

## Define agreement types

Administrators can define agreement types that appear in the **Agreement Type** field in the [Create Agreement](/main/docs/create-agreements-1#create-agreements) dialog and the [Overview](/main/docs/create-agreements-1#manage-agreement-details) tab. To define agreement types:

1. From the application left navigation area, select **Administration**.
2. From the top navigation area, select **Master Data Management**.
3. Move through or search to locate **Sales Document Type** and select it from the list.
4. Select ![Add](https://cdn.document360.io/24f960e8-3c1c-4c18-a2c6-83b6ae4aab84/Images/Documentation/add_42dp_1A1A1A%20(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T12%3A16%3A54Z&se=2026-11-11T13%3A16%3A54Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=xNmA6sGayWeKL3ac0t3ESxPASyKVyOprm6ryh4%2Fw1hI%3D), then select the newly added, empty row.
5. On the **Configuration** tab, enter or select values to define an agreement type:
  - **Name**—Enter a name for the agreement type.
  - **ERP Id**—(Optional.) ERP ID of the agreement type.
6. Select **Save**.
7. (Optional.) On the **Localisation** tab, in the **Label** field next to the needed languages, enter a translation of the agreement type name. Then select ![Save](https://cdn.document360.io/24f960e8-3c1c-4c18-a2c6-83b6ae4aab84/Images/Documentation/CPQ%20icon%20-%20Save.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T12%3A16%3A54Z&se=2026-11-11T13%3A16%3A54Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=xNmA6sGayWeKL3ac0t3ESxPASyKVyOprm6ryh4%2Fw1hI%3D) to save the changes.

## Define default agreement duration

Administrators can define a default agreement duration, which CPQ uses to calculate the **End Date** when creating agreements. This helps ensure consistency and accuracy while managing agreements.

The **End Date** field in the [Create Agreement dialog](/main/docs/create-agreements-1#create-agreements) follows this logic:

- The system sets the End Date to the Start Date plus the configured default duration.
- When users change the Start Date, the system automatically updates the End Date to preserve the default agreement duration.
- When users change the End Date:
  - If the End Date is later than the Start Date, the Start Date stays unchanged.
  - If the End Date is earlier than the Start Date, the system shows an error and resets the field.

To define the default agreement duration:

1. From the application left navigation area, select **Administration**.
2. From the top navigation area, select **Master Data Management**.
3. Move through or search to locate **Setting Numeric** and select it from the list.
4. Select **Default Agreement Duration (Days)**.
5. In the **Setting Value Numeric** field, enter the agreement duration in days.
6. Select **Save**.
