3. Navigate to Involved Parties tab.
4. Employee Responsible is missing.

In contracts Employee Responsible is defined by the business configuration activity "Involved Parties for Customer Contracts".

Determinations available in the Employee Responsible under Involved Parties for Customer Contracts are as below.

1. Direct responsible of Account
2. Responsibility "Employee Responsible for Sales"
3. Logged on User

At the time of renewal system will consider only the first and second conditions.

In this case the details are not maintained under Account master data, "Employee Responsible - Sales" and "Employee Responsible for Sales". Therefore, system is not able to fetch the correct Employee Responsible.

For the first condition "Direct responsible of Account" to consider,

1. Go to Account Management work center -> Accounts view.
2. Edit the account and click on View All.

3. Select "Employee Responsible for Sales" and click on Edit.
