Manage Supplier Portal Contract Negotiations

Manage Supplier Portal Contract Negotiations

Ensure the Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) supplier contract is active.
You can manage contract negotiations by sharing documents directly with supplier contacts through the Workday Strategic Sourcing Supplier Portal. This enables you to:
  • Share contract documents securely without using email.
  • Receive revised versions from suppliers directly into CLM for review.
  • Retract documents from the portal if you need to end the negotiation or update the file.
  1. From the
    Documents
     tab of a CLM ticket, select
    Send to Supplier Portal
    for the contract document you want to share.
  2. In the
    Send to Supplier Portal
     dialog, select one or more supplier contacts from the list.
  3. Click
    Send
    .
    Workday notifies the supplier contact and updates the document status to
    With Supplier
    .
  4. (Optional) To end a negotiation session or remove supplier access to a document, click
    Retract from Supplier Portal
    .
    You can only retract documents during the editing or review stage.
  5. View the negotiation progress in the
    Contract Documents
     tab:
    Option
    Description
    Editing
    The supplier contact has downloaded the document and is making changes.

Workday automatically brings updated documents submitted by the supplier back into CLM as a new version. You can then view the revised document or move the ticket to the next stage in the workflow.
