      <Paragraph>If a sales contract is used as the basis of a sales order or a
		sales schedule, during and after the sales order procedure/sales schedule
		procedure, you can use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls3420m000" role="session">Evaluate Sales Contracts (tdsls3420m000)</GUIRef> session to evaluate the sales contract.
		During the effectivity period of the contract, you can check whether the
		deliveries take place as agreed in the contract. At the end of the effectivity
		period of the contract, you can check whether the agreed quantities are
		met.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>To evaluate contracts, the following conditions must be
		fulfilled:</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListItem>The contract status must be <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/icap#active" role="option">Active</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Call orders must exist for the contract.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The time elapsed (%) must be more than the specified
		  percentage.</ListItem>
