# Set up and activate a contract simultaneously

Last modified February 19, 2026

> In the Customer contracts (CT301000) window, you can simultaneously set up and activate a contract.


For more information: [Customer contracts (CT301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/customer-contracts-ct301000/index.md).

In the [Customer contracts (CT301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/customer-contracts-ct301000/index.md) window, you can simultaneously set
up and activate a contract.
This operation is available for contracts with the
**Draft** status only.

1. Review the contract details to ensure that the contract meets the intentions of the parties, and make any needed changes.
1. Click **Actions**, and select the **Set up and activate contract** action.
1. In the **Activate contract** dialog box, specify the date of contract activation and click **OK**.

This operation triggers the following actions:

+ The contract gets the **Active** status.
+ The setup and activation dates become unavailable for editing.
+ The **Expiration date** field and the **Invoicing schedule** section are filled with details, based on the template settings.
+ An invoice is issued for the setup and prepaid services. The invoice also includes a renewal fee if such a fee is configured to be collected on contract activation. You can view the invoice details on the **Sales history** tab of the window.

Now you can proceed with usage recording.
For details, see: [About contract usage recording](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/manage-contracts/contract-usage-recording/about-contract-usage-recording/index.md).
