Steps: Approve Contracts

Steps: Approve Contracts

During the contracting process, you can require approvals from individuals or groups in your company. You can:
  • Set up approval groups and rules to automate the process.
  • Enable ad hoc changes to be made to approval flows.
After you set up approval flows for contracts, you can:
  • Send and monitor approval requests.
  • Record approval details before executing a contract.
  2. Access
    Approvals
    Contract Approval Flows
     from
    Settings
    .
    Create approval rules to manage who approves contracts and how Strategic Sourcing evaluates rules from top to bottom.
  3. From a contract, set the
    Contract Status
     to
    Send For Approval
    .
  4. (Optional) To retract an approval request, set the
    Contract Status
     to
    In Progress
    .
Strategic Sourcing sends email notifications to approvers. The
Contracts
 workbench now has an
Approvals
 tab to track approvers and the status of approvals.
