Concept: Project and Contract Status Reasons
When you change the status of a project or contract, you can select a reason for the status and add notes. Your company admin can customize those reasons to fit business needs for projects and contracts.
These project statuses can have reasons:
Project Statuses | Status Description |
|---|---|
Canceled | You can cancel projects that have never been Active and are now inapplicable. |
Needs Attention | |
On Hold | |
Does Not Need Attention | You can snooze or ignore Needs Attention reminders when you select this status. You can select Ignore, which will prevent all upcoming reminders and the item will no longer have the Needs Attention status. You can also select a number of days to snooze reminders. |
These contract statuses can have reasons:
Contract Statuses | Status Description |
|---|---|
Canceled | You can cancel contracts that have never been Active and are now inapplicable. |
Termination | You can only terminate Active contracts. |
Needs Attention | |
Does Not Need Attention | You can snooze or ignore Needs Attention reminders when you select this status. You can select Ignore, which will prevent all upcoming reminders and the item will no longer have the Needs Attention status. You can also select a number of days to snooze reminders. |
Adding more information about a status change in the

field provides an insight to change to the stakeholders of the project or contract.When you change the status to Needs Attention, Strategic Sourcing sends an email to stakeholders who you set to receive email notifications. This email includes the reason and any notes that you add.
