contracts.renew
What it does
Record the next term on the same contract, preserving billing calendars and historical prices. Supply evidenced list/capped prices and index facts; above-cap quotes are recorded and flagged. agreements without changes keeps the current agreement change rules; changes: {} clears them.
Before you send it
An authorized OAuth connection may call it, including a headless client. Effective membership, application grant and token permissions still apply. Describe contracts.renew through GET /v1/catalog/commands/{name} before acting.
The envelope may reference a registered source document of kind contract, source_document; this is separate from any evidence required by the input.
Inputs
Put these fields inside the envelope’s input object. The outer envelope names the command, a stable idempotency_key and effective_at; request and recovery rules explain those separately. Use exact minor-unit integer strings for monetary fields. Take existing IDs from prior reads or command results; choose a new identity only where the command asks for one.
Required means required within its containing object; an optional parent can be omitted.

After acceptance
When the command emits events, its documented effects and receipt are recorded in the command transaction. The response returns commandId, replayed, the command-specific result below and emitted events with their IDs and CIDs. A command is not automatically a cash movement or revenue recognition: use the behavior above to determine what this command records.
Inspect result and the affected records or reports before continuing. Save returned identifiers for later calls. Fetch GET /v1/commands/{id} with commandId to recover the accepted receipt; retry the same intent with the same idempotency key if the response was lost. Some commands can succeed with events: [] and return a transient result and commandId without persisting a receipt. A lookup of that ID can return null; retain the returned result and verify the affected record. Retrying can re-evaluate the current state rather than replay a stored result. A domain no_change is a separate success outcome with no persisted receipt.
Result fields
Required means required within its containing object; an optional parent can be omitted.
