Metadata API Developer Guide
jNote: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.
ContractSettings
In the package manifest, all organization settings metadata types are accessed using the Settings name. See Settings for details.
File Suffix and Directory Location
There is one contract settings file stored in a file named Contract.settings in the settings directory. The .settings files are different from other named components because there’s only one settings file for each settings component.
Version
ContractSettings is available in API version 27.0 and later.
Fields
| Field Name | Field Type | Description |

| autoCalculateEndDate | boolean | Indicates whether the end date of a contract is automatically calculated (true) or not (false). |
| notifyOwnersOnContractExpiration | boolean | Indicates whether account and contract owners are automatically sent email notifications when a contract expires (true) or not (false). |
