The Salesforce CPQ asset-based renewal process is designed to operate on active subscriptions. Assets with an End Date in the past are considered expired and are not eligible for selection within the standard renewal workflow. To include these expired assets in a consolidated renewal quote alongside active assets, the sales representative must first modify the data to make the assets recognizable to the renewal engine. Updating the End Date of the expired assets to a current or future date makes them appear "active," thus allowing them to be selected and pulled into the renewal quote generation process.

B. Use the Amend option, override the Term, then renew.

Amending modifies an active contract mid-term. Renewing creates a new contract for a subsequent term. These are distinct and separate business processes; you do not amend in order to renew.

C. Use the Override Renewal Term option, then renew.

Overriding the renewal term or other quote parameters is an action performed on the renewal quote itself. This step is not possible if the expired assets cannot be selected to generate the quote initially.

1. Salesforce Help Documentation, "Asset-Based Renewal Management." This document outlines the process of using the "Renew Assets" button on an account. The process begins with the selection of assets to be included in the renewal quote. The system is designed to manage the renewal of active or soon-to-expire subscriptions, and as such, assets with a past end date are not presented as eligible for this standard process. The action in option A is a required prerequisite to make the expired assets eligible.

2. Salesforce Help Documentation, "Renewals." This document describes the overall renewal framework in Salesforce CPQ. It states, "When it’s time to renew a subscription product, you can create a renewal quote..." The entire process is predicated on a subscription reaching the end of its active term, not a term that has already passed. This context supports the need to adjust an expired asset's data to fit it into the forward-looking renewal model.
