Approving and Rejecting Agreements[edit]


= Approving and Rejecting Agreements =

An agreement can be created from an approved contract request or by creating a new agreement. Rejecting an agreement sends it back to the primary owner to make the required changes. Either way it&nbsp;is created, an agreement&nbsp;must be approved before it moves to the next stage of the workflow. All permissions, such as creating, approving&nbsp;and deleting of entities are controlled from the Role-Action Mapping.

Following are the predefined roles for Agreements:

*Primary Owner: creates the agreements 
*Contract Admin: can configure security settings and role permissions 
*Approver: can approve and reject agreements 
*Reviewer: this is an optional role that review the agreement, if the primary owner or the approver chooses to send the agreement for reviews. 
*Deviation Approver: reviews any deviations in rules and clauses and approves and reject the deviations. 

You can approve or reject agreements in two ways from:

*your list of&nbsp;Tasks,&nbsp;or 
*the Agreement&nbsp;Details Page. 

To approve or reject an agreement from your Tasks:

1. '''Click '''the ''Tasks ''KPI tile on the Dashboard. The User Tasks page opens.

2. '''Click '''the link of the agreement that you would like to review. This opens the Agreement Details Page.

3. '''Click '''''Approve&nbsp;''or ''Reject''. This opens the Add Notes dialog box.

4. '''Type '''approval or rejection notes and '''click '''''Add''. The status of the agreement changes to ''Approved'' or ''Rejected''.

If you know which agreement you needd to review, without looking at your tasks:

1. Search for the agreement either using advanced search&nbsp;or by searching agreements and requests.

2. Open the Agreement Details page&nbsp;of the agreement you wish to review.
