An agreement can have any of the following statuses: planned, active, negotiated, or closed. The planned status means that the agreement is being entered and will change to active whenever it is ready to be used. The negotiated status is used if the agreement needs to be renegotiated, i.e., in case some methods or policies need to be revised after the agreement has been activated.
The schedule must be active in order to receive negotiated status.
If the agreement is changed to negotiated; it is temporarily stopped, and it is impossible to generate or create any schedules until it is activate again.
