In the ETL Toolkit, for Procurement- a contract terms dimension is mentioned...
Contrat Terms Dimension..

Contract Terms Key (PK)
Contract Terms Description
Contract Terms Type

The contract terms dimension contains one row for each generalized set of negotiated
terms, similar to the promotion dimension...

In our case, we have a bonus flag on a contract that has a value of 0 or 1

I assume we would create 2 rows one for Bonus + 0 state and one for Bonus +1 state

In another case - similar we have a third party voucher flag 0 or 1 state

In another case we have a Min_Config amount of X >>> so this would be one row with amount...

Does this sound like the proper approach to populate the dimension?

I think contract terms key is not used to give details of contracts.

That may be something used to give more detail about a transaction, which is processed as a result of a term written in the contract.

transaction type = Payment transaction
contract terms description = Late delivery penalty
transaction dollar amount = 15.000

or

transaction type = Payment transaction
contract terms description = Early delivery bonus
transaction dollar amount = 15.000

It sounds like Kimball is describing a junk dimension to store common contract terms. If your contract terms are not very common, then this would not be a good design solution. You might need to refine your data into smaller dimensions to get value from a junk dimension approach.
