option

Description

Default behaviorWith this option selected, if you change the Term Start Date, no dates will be realigned. This means that the existing Order Actions will remain unchanged, regardless of the Term Start Date adjustment.
Keep Initial (Add Product) Actions aligned to QSD and Realign all future actions relative to the number of days the TSD movedWhen this option is selected and you change the Term Start Date, two types of realignment will occur. First, the Initial (Add Product) Actions that were originally aligned to the Quote Start Date (QSD) will remain aligned to the new Term Start Date (TSD). Second, all future actions that were aligned to specific Interval Start Dates will be realigned to new Interval Start Dates based on the number of days the TSD was changed by. Additionally, product actions that were not originally aligned to Interval Start Dates will be realigned relative to the number of days the TSD was changed by.
