ABOUT THE MODULE

What is NetSuite Contract Renewals?

NetSuite Contract Renewals automates the management of recurring revenue contracts, including subscriptions, support agreements, maintenance entitlements, and term-based licenses. It enables you to generate renewal transactions automatically based on pre-defined windows, track renewable assets, and manage the complete renewal lifecycle from expiration through renewal or termination.

It supports automated renewal generation, multi-contract co-termination, uplift and discount management, upsell and returns handling, multi-channel support, and real-time renewal visibility through dashboards and reporting.

KEY FEATURES

Key Features of NetSuite Contract Renewals

NetSuite Contract Renewals extends core financial management with capabilities that help organizations automate renewal processes, protect recurring revenue, and gain greater visibility into renewal performance. The following are the key features of NetSuite Contract Renewals:

Automated Renewal Generation

Generate renewal transactions automatically based on pre-defined windows, such as 90 or 120 days before expiration. This ensures renewals are handled in a timely fashion, revenue opportunities are not missed, and workflow is streamlined to reduce time, expense, and risk.

Budgeting and Forecasting

NetSuite Advanced Financials provides tools for creating and managing multiple budgets and comparing planned financial performance with actual results. Your finance team can establish budgets across relevant accounts and organizational dimensions and use them for ongoing performance analysis.

Multi-contract Management

Co-terminate multiple transactions into a single contract with a single renewal, simplifying the process for both vendor and customer. When co-termination is not appropriate, multi-contract support provides flexibility to maintain separate contracts. This streamlined approach helps ensure maximum revenue during the renewal process.

Uplift and Discount Management

Manage price uplifts across the board or on a customer or contract basis. Automatically apply percentage increases based on a price book or standard adjustment, with flexibility to implement increases down to the line-item level.

Renewal Dashboards and Visibility

Track renewal tasks as they are automatically added to dashboards. Monitor KPIs of key metrics, trends, and priority items with drill-down to detailed data for interactive reporting. Gain real-time visibility into your installed base and renewal pipeline.

Revenue Recognition for Renewals

Manage different sets of dates for revenue recognition purposes. This capability allows the contract renewal and billing process to flow automatically while revenue recognition follows a different process without requiring new spreadsheets and additional complexity.

CHALLENGES

Challenges NetSuite Contract Renewals Helps Address

Manual renewal processes, spreadsheet-based tracking, and limited visibility into renewal pipelines make it difficult to protect recurring revenue and maintain customer relationships. NetSuite Contract Renewals addresses these pain points by automating renewal workflows, centralizing contract data, and providing real-time visibility into renewal performance.

Missed Renewal Dates

When renewals are managed manually, expiring contracts slip through the cracks. NetSuite generates renewal transactions automatically based on pre-defined windows.


Spreadsheet-based Renewal Tracking

Managing renewals through spreadsheets introduces errors. NetSuite centralizes renewal data and provides dashboards that track renewal tasks and pipeline status in real time.

Complex Uplift and Discount Rules

Uplift percentages across customer tiers, contract types, or individual line items are hard to manage manually. NetSuite manages uplift, with granular discounting down to the individual transaction level.

Limited Visibility into Renewal Pipeline

Without real-time reporting, sales and finance teams cannot prioritize renewal activities or forecast recurring revenue accurately. NetSuite tracks key metrics, trends, and priority items, with detailed data.

OUR PROCESS

Our NetSuite Contract Renewals Implementation Process

Our ERP implementation experts follow a structured approach to implementing NetSuite Contract Renewals.

Discovery and Contract Process Assessment

We review how your business creates contracts, manages terms, tracks expiration dates, prepares renewals, and coordinates approvals. We also identify dependencies on CRM, sales, billing, and finance systems.

Contract Data and Requirements Review

We assess contract records, customer relationships, contract items, start and end dates, renewal terms, and relevant transaction history. We identify data gaps and determine how existing contract information should be prepared for migration or configuration.

Renewal Workflow Design

We define the renewal process, including when renewal transactions should be generated, which transaction types should be created, who reviews the results, and how exceptions are handled.

Configuration and Automation

We configure the applicable Contract Renewals preferences and workflows, including renewal timing, transaction generation, and related contract processes. Where needed, we configure supporting reports, saved searches, notifications, and custom workflows within the agreed scope.

Testing and User Acceptance

We test representative contract scenarios, including upcoming renewals, on-demand renewals, batch processing where applicable, renewal transaction review, and downstream billing behavior.

Training and Go-Live

We train relevant sales, customer success, contract administration, and finance users on the renewal process. We support go-live planning and establish procedures for reviewing upcoming renewals and resolving exceptions.

Continuous Improvement

After deployment, Folio3 helps refine renewal workflows, improve reporting, address new contract scenarios, and optimize connected billing and customer management processes as requirements change.
