• Key Concepts: 
  Offline simulation is a feature of SAP SRM-EBP-CON Contract Management that allows users to simulate the effects of a contract before it is actually created. This feature allows users to test out different scenarios and see how they would affect the contract before committing to any changes. This helps to ensure that the contract is optimized for the best possible outcome. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the offline simulation feature, users must first create a contract template. This template will contain all of the necessary information for the contract, such as pricing, terms, and conditions. Once the template is created, users can then use the offline simulation feature to test out different scenarios and see how they would affect the contract. The results of the simulation can then be used to make any necessary changes to the contract before it is finalized. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the offline simulation feature, it is important to remember that it is only a simulation and not an actual representation of what will happen when the contract is finalized. Therefore, it is important to double-check all of the results before making any changes to the contract. Additionally, it is also important to remember that any changes made during the simulation will not be saved unless they are manually saved by the user.
