Agreements

This page displays all the Agreements that you are associated with in one way or the other. You may have created an Agreement or you may be a member of the team that is working on the Agreement. This page displays the most current version of an Agreement regardless of its status.

From this page you can:

Search Agreements in several ways. You can Search Agreements using the Search tile or use the Advanced Search page.
View pinned saved searched by Administrator. If you are logging on to ICI for the first time, you will see saved searches pinned to your Agreement page. These pinned searches are applicable to the User Group you belong to and will remain unchanged, unless you modify them. The saved searches are created by the Administrator for the User Groups and pinned to the Agreements page by the application. A maximum of six searches can be pinned. Once you modify any of your pinned searches, your preferences override the Administrator’s preferences.

View details of an Agreement by clicking the View Record icon. The details are displayed on the Agreement Details Page.

View the document to see what the printed Agreement would look like by clicking the View Document icon. Thus, you can quickly find the required Agreement record without opening each Agreement record to view the document. If the Agreement is in Draft state, the preview only displays the attributes defined in the Agreement. If it is in an Approved state, then it also displays the actual values of those attributes. You can print the document or export the Agreement attributes to the desired format.

Note: This feature is the same as the Preview option from the Agreement Details Page.

View Smart Links to link related documents to one another by clicking the View Smart Links icon drop-down. For example, if there are several Agreements with the same vendor, you can link all of them through smart links to see the types of Agreements that are currently in force with that vendor. See the Creating Smart Links page for details.
Perform Bulk Actions on Agreements.
Configure default columns and their sequence on the Search and Index pages throughout ICI for all the users. The configuration can be done for each Entity as well as Contract Type thus offering complete flexibility to define columns as per your business needs.
Configure multiple mandatory and non-mandatory filters at Contract Type level for inheritance by which agreements can be filtered. This is achieved through a technical configuration at the contract type level.

Creating an Agreement

You navigate to this page from the Home page by clicking the Agreement Management > Create Agreement tiles.

On this page, you can do the following tasks:

Specify basic details of the Agreement
Select Attributes
Select a Template to use for creating the Agreement
Publish the Agreement
Send the Agreement for approval

You can create Agreements in ICI in the following ways:

Copy an Existing Agreement and make changes to the copy.
Create an Agreement from a Contract Request.
Create a new Agreement by using the Create Agreement tile. This help page describes this process.

The following figure shows the different states of an agreement with various roles that are involved in creating it.

Figure: Agreement workflow and various roles involved at different states of the Agreement.

To create a new Agreement, complete the details for the sections mentioned below:

Contract Type Details
Attributes
Select Template
Verify

Click Next at the end of each section to go to the next section and complete creating the Agreement. You can also Save a section at any time and return to this page to complete your Agreement.

Contract Type Details

Enter the following basic details of the Agreement in this section:

Category: categories are created by the administrator and they are similar to labels; useful for organizing your agreements. The drop-down shows all the categories that were chosen while creating the Contract Type. Select one.
Contract Type Name: shows a list of all the contract types that were created for the chosen category. The Type of Paper option is displayed depending on the contract type definition.
Contract Type Description: This field facilitates users to select the desired Contract Type.
Type of Paper: indicates if your own or a third party template should be used for creating this agreement. Provide your template if you select Own. Select Third Party option when you want to create the agreement by uploading a template agreement provided by the vendor or the provider. Few points to remember when selecting third party paper:
- should be used mainly when dealing with legacy contracts
- in case of a deviation, the deviation approval becomes a manual process in ICI,
- are uploaded as a PDF, making it difficult to analyze them. As a result, attributes may have to be manually created in ICI (which can be time-consuming) or ICI may have to be used with limited functionality.

Note: Of the 4 sections, the Templates section depends on the selected type of paper (Own or Third Party).

If the Type of Paper is Own, the Select Template page with a list of templates is displayed for the selected Contract Type. If the Type Of Paper selected is Third Party, the Select Template section is not shown. Instead, you would manually upload a third party agreement. You cannot use Own paper with this option.

Attributes

This section captures important details of the agreement that you are creating. Note that the attributes shown on this page will vary depending on the Contract Type that you selected. Below is an explanation of some of the less obvious attributes.

Associate and Inherit: Click the icon to associate that agreement and inherit all its attributes to the agreement that you are creating. This field is displayed only for those contract types that have an association with any other contract type.
Organization Unit: Select the organization unit you would like to create this agreement in. Users within an organization unit must also have certain privileges. With a Vi'ew privilege, users can only view agreements but users with Manage privilege can perform actions on the agreement. For example, if John and Mary share one organization unit, then for John to have access to Mary's agreements, John needs view privilege on her agreements. View privilege is also required for users to search a particular agreement.
Name: Type a name for the Agreement you are creating. To make it easier for users in the organization to find your Agreement, the name should include some basic information about the Agreement. Basic information could include details such as the purpose of the Agreement and with which vendor this Agreement was entered in to.
Contract Value: Type the value of the contract or set it using the controls provided. Selecting a currency is mandatory.
Agreement Code: Each agreement is assigned a unique agreement ID in ICI, known as its Agreement code. The system automatically generates the Agreement ID when you click the Create button in the 4. Verify section.
Signature Type: Select if this agreement will be signed manually or electronically. Note that the signatures of both parties must be of the same type, meaning, ICI does not allow one party to sign electronically and the other party to sign manually. If the external signatory prefers to sign manually, the agreement must get manually signed internally too. Select Click to Sign signature option so that the user can see an online preview of the agreement, which can be used to mark the agreement as signed and executed.
Is Amendment: Specify if this Agreement is being created as an amendment for an existing agreement.
Multi-Party: Specify if this Agreement involves multiple parties. For example, if the organization this agreement is being created for uses a sub-contractor, then this agreement would be marked as multi-party, as the sub-contractor details would also have to be captured.
Previous Agreement ID: If this agreement is an amendment or a renewal of an existing agreement, use this field to add a smart link to the existing agreement.
External Signatory: C'lick' the Add User icon. The Select User window opens. If the External user is already provisioned you can select that user from the list, or click the Add External User button. The Create External User window opens. Enter all the mandatory fields such as, Name, Email Address and Language. It’s important to select the appropriate language for the user since the user will receive all the ICI notifications in the selected language. Click Save, the user gets added as an External Signatory.

Note: The email IDs of all users are displayed on hovering the mouse over the selected user across the application. If there are two signatories with the same name, it makes it easier to identify the users by their email ID.

File Path: specify the path from where you want to upload the third party template. This field is displayed only when you select Third Party paper on 1. Contract Type Details section.

File scanning during upload:

ICI has added a generic virus scan framework which can be used to implement other virus scanning software.
When configured, this will help to scan files for any malware and protect ICI against a wide variety of threats whenever a user uploads a file using the File Upload attribute in ICI or a file is uploaded through an API.

The scanning starts on the same page as soon as the user selects a file to upload.

Upon clicking next action, the scanning status window is displayed only if the scanning is still in progress or malicious content has been found, otherwise the next page in a workflow opens.

The scanning progress bar is displayed in red color when the file has malicious contents.

Upon clicking OK:

The next page in the workflow opens if the files are safe.
The current page is displayed again if any file has malicious contents.

Note:

Any ICI entity (such as agreement, associations, template, clause, masterdata and so on) that takes file as an input in any mode, the virus scan is performed by default for that entity before uploading file into the ICI.
Files can be scanned in bulk.
File scanning while uploading through Word and Excel plugins is handled through API.

Template

This section displays the Templates that you created for the selected Contract Type. This section is displayed only if you select Own paper to create the agreement on the Contract Type Details section. Select the appropriate Template. Template Selection page displays all the applicable templates in a Grid view by default. Clicking on the row having the desired template selects the template. Clicking again on the same row deselects it. You can switch between the Grid and Tile views as desired and if any selections exist, these are retained between any view switches.

The Templates listed in the Grid view includes columns based on template metadata such as, template name, template status, etc. or extended template metadata if configured in your instance. Through a technical configuration, you can specify which columns should display on the grid.

You can preview the Template on the Template Selection page itself prior to selection when creating or editing Agreements.

•   The template preview displays the directly added Clauses and Attribute/Association placeholders, but does not display any rule based clauses that have been added to the Template.
•   For a new Template that is currently being used, the latest approved version is displayed in the preview.
•   When editing an Agreement and the template has been previously selected, ICI displays the content from the version of the template that was used at the time of original selection. For example, a user is trying to edit an agreement for which v2 of the MSA template had been used. The current version of the approved MSA template is v5. Now when the user is editing the agreement and chooses to preview the selection of the MSA template, the product shall display the contents as of v2 of the MSA template. There shall be no difference between the contents of the template displayed in the preview and the agreement document that gets generated except for addition of any rule based clauses and associations.
Refer to Template Management for complete details on creating, editing, uploading and working with Templates.

Verify

This is the final section for creating an agreement. It displays only the sections and attributes that you used to create this agreement. Verify all the details you have entered.You can:

Click Previous to go back and make any changes. Click Next to return to this section after making the required changes.
Click Create to create the Agreement. The Agreement is not visible to anyone yet (as it is not published) and you can continue creating or editing it on the Agreement Details Page.
Click Create and Publish to create and publish the Agreement. After the Agreement is published, other users with adequate access can search, view, and take actions on the agreement. After publishing, a Draft watermark appears on the Agreement in all states until it is approved. The watermark gets removed after the agreement is approved.
Click Create and Send for approval to create and send the Agreement for approval. The Agreement gets sent to approvers that are set by a rule on the Contract Type selected for this Agreement. The state changes to Pending Approval. If no rules are set and no approvers are defined, the Agreement status automatically changes to Approved.
Click Cancel to cancel the Agreement. With this action, the status of the Agreement changes to Cancelled and the Agreement continues to be visible on the Agreement Management page in the list of Agreements.
Click Revert to revert the cancelled Agreement. This changes the status of the Agreement to Draft again.

Visibility of sections on the left navigation pane to non-team users

The Administrator can configure access control for users who are not part of the team to sections/ sub-sections in the left navigation pane at the contract type level. The non-team users are generally at a higher level in the organization and want a quick glance at the contract.
This can be achieved through a backend configuration for the non-team user role in panel mapping as required and is applicable to agreements, amendments, contract requests and associations.

Let’s consider an example where a team member who is at a lower level of the Organization Structure, such as Automation user5, creates an agreement.
1. Click Home > Agreement Management > Create Agreement. The Create Agreement page opens.

2. Click Next. Enter and verify all details for the following tabs.
3. Click Create. The Details page opens with the agreement in Draft status. Note that the user Automation user5, who is at a lower level in the organization chart (an engineer at level 5 of the hierarchy) but part of the team, has access to all the tabs includingTeam and Notes.

Suppose Abe Kim who is at a higher level in the organization chart (CTO at level 2 of the hierarchy) tries to access the agreement, visibility to the tabs can be controlled for him.

4. To remove access for the user Abe Kim to the Team andNotes tabs in the Draft state, a backend hard coded configuration using a GUID is done so that these tabs will not be visible for Abe Kim in the left navigation pane.

The user Abe Kim will see all other tabs except for Team and Notes tabs.

Creating multiple agreements from a single agreement

You can create multiple agreements from a single agreement with the provision of copying associations and attributes as required.

Users now:

Have complete flexibility at configuration level to define the applicable contract type, decision attribute, compute attribute for bulk agreement creation
Have the option of bulk agreement creation in the model agreement based on the above configuration with provision to define unique batch Id for all the agreements created using a single model agreement
Can access model agreements only through technically configured Admin saved search.

Bulk created agreements are created in Draft status by default. However, users can send agreements for approval as part of the bulk creation process by configuring an attribute added in the bulk configuration masterdata contract type. The bulk agreements will then be created in Approved or Waiting for Approval status.

Note: Amendments can also be sent for approval using the same functionality.

Configuring Bulk Agreement

Users are required to use the instance of seeded masterdata contract type to enable bulk agreement creation. The seeded masterdata attributes and their description are explained here briefly. For information about how to configure a masterdata contract type for bulk creation, see the Configuration Guide for Bulk Agreement.

The seeded masterdata attributes in ICI:

Creating Bulk Agreement

Let us consider an example where we create an agreement using the contract type Automation All DataTypes Attributes which is already configured for the bulk creation.

1. Click the Agreement Management tile on the Home page. The Agreement Management menu opens.
2. Click the Create Agreement menu. The Create Agreement menu opens.
3. Select the Contract Type Name. For example, Agreement CT with All DataTypes Attributes.
4. Select Type Of Paper as Own.

5. Click Next. The Attributes tab opens.
6. Select Yes from Enable Bulk Agreement Creation drop-down list.

Note: The Enable Bulk Agreement Creation determines that the created agreement is a model agreement for the bulk creation.

7. Select parties from the Other Parties drop-down list. For example, Other Party 01, Other Party 02, & Other Party 03.

Note: The Other Parties drop-down field is basically a multiselect attribute having a technical name BulkCreateSourceAttribute from the Masterdata Contract type which will be used as a spawning attribute (for model agreement) and the Other Parties drop-down options are IndividualSourceAttribute. When bulk agreements are created, each value of Other Parties drop-down field will be spawned by IndividualSourceAttribute.

8. Enter All Data in the Test Case Id field.

9. Click Next. The Select Template tab opens.
10. Select All Data Types Basic Template.

11. Click Next. The Verify tab opens.
12. Click Create and Publish. The Details window opens. The agreement changes to Draft state.
13. Click Show more.

14. Click Generate Bulk Contracts. The Information window opens.

15. Enter a unique batch identifier. For example, Batch-4284.

Note: The batch identifier must be a unique number.

16. Click Ok. The Information window opens displaying that Bulk Creation for Batch-4284 initiated successfully.

17. Click Ok. The Bulk Creation action started in the background. Users get the notification email that Bulk operation is completed along with the information regarding the success and failure of individual agreements created.
18. Click the Agreement Management tile.

Note: To filter agreements created by any batch id, users need filter agreements using Bulk Agreement Batch Identifier.

19. Enter Bulk Agreement Batch Identifier in the Categories field.
20. Select the batch identifier from the drop-down list.

All three agreements (Other Party 01, Other Party 02, & Other Party 03) are created using Bulk action. The Agreements created using Bulk action are in the Draft state and users are notified regarding the success and failure of agreements created.

Creating peer agreement from base agreement

It is possible to create an agreement from the Create Agreement page and link it to another agreement contract type and inherit values from it.
You can also create peer agreements directly from within their associated base agreement inheriting all the attribute values of the base agreement. For example, you can create a SOW directly from the MSA. This is achieved by enabling the following flags - Allow Peer Creation Wizard, Allow Multiple Instances andAllow Two-Way Linkage.

Consider an example of creating a peer-peer association (of SOWs) from within the base agreement (MSA).

Creating the base contract type

Let’s create a base agreement such as an MSA.

1. Click Home > Configuration > Create Contract Type. The Create Contract Type page opens.

2. Select Agreement.
3. Click Next. The Details tab opens.

4. Enter a Contract Type Name. For example, Automation MSA_PeerAssociationcreation.

5. Click Next. The Attributes tab opens.
6. Select the Available Attributes and move to the Selected Attributes column.
7. Edit the attributes as required. Click Save.

Creating an association of the base agreement

Let’s create an association of the base agreement as a peer such as a SOW.

8. Click Next. The Associations tab opens.
9. Click + Association.

10. Enter an Association Name. For example,ICMSOWPeercreation.
The Associated Contract Type is automatically populated and Relation Type is Peer.

11. By default, all flags are set to No. You may set the flags to Yes as required. However, the following flags must be enabled:

Toggle the Allow Peer creation wizard flag to Yes. This allows the user to create the peer association instance and directly link it to the base agreement. In this case, the association ICMSOWPeercreation will directly be linked to the base agreement Automation MSA_PeerAssociationcreation as a peer.
Toggle the Allow Inheritance flag to No.
Toggle the Multiple Instance flag to Yes to create multiple peer agreement instances in the base agreement.
Toggle theAllow Two Way Linkage flag to Yes for both the base and peer assocaition. This creates a two-way linkage so that the peer association gets linked to the base agreement and vice-versa.

Peer agreement can also be created from within the base agreement in Executed state.

The configuration key “Core.Agreement.StatesToAlowPeerAssociationsPostExecution” is used to create the association from the executed state of the base agreement.

Note: To copy with association, the peer association that has Allow peer creation wizard enabled will be skipped.

12. Click Save. The created association ICMSOWPeercreation will be displayed in the Association list on the left hand side.

13. Click Next. Enter the required details in the following tabs.
14. Verify all the details and click Create. The Contract Type Details page opens.
15. Click Send For Approval. The Configuration page opens listing the created Contract Type - Automation MSA_PeerAssociationcreation in an Approved state.

16. Click the View Record icon next to this entity to view the contract type details.

Creating association for peer contract type

Create a peer contract type in the similar way as mentioned in section 1. For example, Automation SOW_PeerAssociationcreation.

Then create an association of the base agreement under peer contract type Automation SOW_PeerAssociationcreation.

17. ClickNext. The Associationstab opens.
18. Click+ Association.

19. Enter an Association Name. For example,ICMPeerCT_MSAassociation.
The Associated Contract Type is automatically populated andRelation Type isPeer.

20. By default, all flags are set to No. You may set the flags to Yes as required. However, the following flags must be enabled:

Toggle the Allow Inheritance flag to Yes. This inherits the values from the base agreement into the peer agreement. In this case, the association ICMPeerCT_SOWassociation will directly be linked to the base agreement Automation MSA_PeerAssociationcreation as a peer.
Toggle the Allow Two Way Linkage flag to Yes for both the base and peer contract type assocaition. This creates a two-way linkage so that the peer contract type association gets linked to the base agreement and vice-versa.

21. Click Create to create the peer contract type with MSA association.

Create multiple associations from base agreement

The base agreement MSA can have multiple associations (SOWs), but the associations (SOWs) can have just 1 parent agreement.

22. Create MSA agreement and go to Details page.

23. Under the Associations section in the left navigation pane, all the associations will be listed. Click the Add icon against a particular association. In this example, Automation SOW_PeerAssociationCreation.

The page will redirect the user to the new agreement creation wizard for Automation SOW_PeerAssociationCreation.

The contract type name will be auto-populated.

24. Select Own Type Of Paper from the drop-down.
25. On the Attributes page, attribute values from base agreement will get inherited into peer attributes.

26. Click Next on the following tabs.
27. Verify the details and click Create to create the agreement.

The peer agreement will get linked to the base agreement.

28. Click View Record icon next to the created agreement on the agreement index page. The agreement Details page opens.

The agreement details displays the peer to peer association from within the (MSA_PeerAssociationCreation) listed in the Associations tab.

Note:

The base agreement can have multiple associations; however, the association can have only one base agreement. For example, base agreement is MSA and association is SOW, then MSA can have multiple SOWs, but SOW can be attached to only 1 MSA. This can be achieved by enabling the Allow Multiple Instances flag.
When copying associations, creating peer to peer association from base agreement is disabled. Hence, the MSA will not be attached to the new SOWs.

Adding Contract Manager role for agreements

In the contracting process, a Contract Manager/Owner manages or owns the agreement and is generally different from the user who has created/ initiated the agreement. This user who is managing the agreement might change from time to time. For example, User A may have ownership during authoring process, whereas the User B might look after the agreement during the negotiation process.
Hence, the Contract Manager role has been introduced to manage agreement ownership throughout the agreement lifecycle.
With this release:
•   Assignment of the user against Contract Manager role in the team can be only achieved through event rules using action Add To Team.
•   Only one Contract Manager is available inside the agreement at any given point of time.
•   The Contract Manager will have provisions same as that of primary owner.
•   Contract Manager Name are displayed on the agreement Summary page.
•   Agreements can be searched using the Contract Manager Name.
•   Managing adhoc modification for Contract Manager role user will be restricted inside the agreement team tab similar to primary owner role user.

To view the contract manager role:
1. Click User Administration tile and then click User Groups > User Roles. The User Roles page opens.

2. Navigate to the section displaying the Contract Manager role.
3. Click the icon next to the Contract Manager to edit the Display Name of the Contract Manager role. The Edit window opens.

4. Edit the Display Name of the role and click Save. The display name for Contract Manager set here will be used across ICI such as on agreement details and summary pages.

Note: You can view and manage the Contract Manager role for ICI entities on the Role Action Mapping page. By default, the access privileges for contract manager role would be the same as that of the primary owner.

Adding a Contract Manager to the Team

Add to Team condition is addition of users to a team after the particular event occurs. For example, addition of approvers after the Agreement Created event occurs.
You can add a contract manager to the team only using the event rule.

To add a contract manager:
1. Select the action as Add To Team and then select Contract Manager role from the drop-down and the appropriate user.

Note: You can also view the contract manager on the agreement Details page in the Summary section.

Searching an agreement with Contract Manager role

Select the attribute from the drop-down on agreement index page to display the list of users with contract manager role.

Ability to support Approver Sub-roles

Users have the ability to define sub-roles for the Approver role. This flexibility enables all the capabilities of the Approver for the users at the sub-role level.
For example, you can now set different types of approvers for an agreement based on functions such as legal approver, finance approver, and so on. This can be achieved through a technical configuration.

8. Click Next. The Verify tab opens.

9. Click Save. The Subscription Details page opens.

The subscription with the user sub-role Finance Approver is created.

Limitations of Approver Sub-roles

This functionality has the following limitations:

Sub-roles can be defined for the Approver role only.
The following sub-roles are supported in the workflow of User Group, Agreement, Amendment, Associated Document, Rule creation based on Approval Rule, Subscription, Notification, Auto-delegation, and Broadcast from the Agreement Details page.
When the sub-role for the Approver role is defined in addition to the existing Approver role, in that scenario all roles new and old are supported unless the user disables the existing Approver role. ICI behaves as is and data migration with respect to the new and old role is not supported.

Flexibility to control the Agreement actions based on the user role

The access control for Agreements and Amendments has been extended to control additional agreement level tasks and actions based on the user role.

Users can control:

The agreement actions such as Compare Documents, Compare Clause Changes, Broadcast and so on
Creation and disassociation of associated documents from an agreement
Linking and disassociation of peer association from an agreement
The visibility of the individual reports available on the agreement details page is controlled through technical configuration

Controlling the actions available on the agreement details page using the Role-Action Mapping

Consider an example where the agreement Automation AssoTwocolumn has the user added in the team as Approver. The agreement action Broadcast has the user role Approver mapped for the agreement in Draft state. If you remove the role approver from this role-action mapping, he or she will no longer has the access to the Broadcast action on agreement page for Draft state.

Click on the Team tab in the left panel configuration on the agreement details page to view the users added in the team. For example, user William Fagan is added as Approver for the agreement Automation AssoTwocolumn.

The role-action mapping for the agreement Broadcast action for Draft state has user role Approver mapped.

Now remove the user role Approver from the Broadcast action and Draft state.

To edit the role action mapping:

Click User Administration > User Groups > Role-Action Mapping on the Home page. The Role-Action Mapping page opens.
Select entity in the Select Entity field. For example, agreement Automation AssoTwocolumn. The list of all Role-Action mappings applicable to the agreement opens.
Click Edit icon next to the action for particular state you want to edit. For example, action Broadcast for state Draft. The Edit window opens.
Add or remove the User Roles in the right section with the help of arrows. For example, remove user role Approver from right section.
Click Save. The role is removed from the Roles column for selected action and state.

The user with role Approver will then not be able to view the action Broadcast for the agreement in Draft state.

Note: User can set the role-action mapping for all states of the agreement and associated documents for all actions and user roles following the same process.

Controlling the Associations actions on the Agreement page using the Role-Action Mapping

The access to the associated documents of the agreement can be controlled by role action mapping.

Only authorized users can:

Add associations to the agreement from left panel configuration on the agreement details page
Dissociate the associated document from the agreement from grid page.

Note: User will also need to have the access privileges to the Associated Document Contract Type via Security Groups in addition to Role-Action Mapping configuration.

Create Associations instances from Agreement details page

To control access on the associations creation action from agreement details page through role-action mapping:

Click User Administration > User Groups > Role-Action Mapping on the Home page. The Role-Action Mapping page opens.
Select entity in the Select Entity field. For example, Automation Annexure Assembly (Associated Document Contract Type). The list of all applicable role-action mappings opens.
Click Edit icon next to the action for particular state that you want to edit. For example, Create Association From Parent. The Edit window opens.
Add or remove the User Roles in the right section using arrows. For example, add Primary Owner.

Click Save. The role is added to the Roles column for selected action and state.

The Create Associations action for Automation Annexure Assembly on the left panel configuration will be disabled for all users other than Primary Owner. For example, the Create Association action is disabled for the user William Fagan with the user role as an Approver.

Controlling the access for Association instances from the Association grid

Only authorized users can edit, dissociate or copy associations from agreement-association grid page. These actions are controlled using role-action mappings defined for respective parent-child or peer-to-peer associated document contract type.

To control access on the association actions through role-action mapping:

Ability to have flexible contract type extension

ICI provides the flexibility to select and use masterdata attributes as extensions to agreements and associated documents at the time of instance creation. Users can create rules to add or remove these extended attributes to agreement and associated documents. ICI capabilities support the extension attributes in the same way as normal attributes.

Users can:

Configure conditional attributes, tracking attributes, computations (enable expressions) to use as extended attributes
Save extension attributes selection as a template for reuse
Control access privileges for extended attributes based on the user role
Maintain audits for the extended attributes

Defining access for extension attributes actions using Role Action Mapping

The authorized users can control the access privileges for the actions Configure Attributes and Re-evaluate Rule on the Extension Attributes page during agreement creation through Role-Action Mapping.

Click User Administration > User Groups > Role-Action Mapping on the Home page. The Role-Action Mapping page opens.
Select entity in the Select Entity field. For example, Agreement. The list of all role-action mappings applicable to the agreement opens.
Click Edit icon next to the action for particular state you want to edit. For example, Configure Extension Attributes for state Approved. The Edit window opens.
Add or remove the User Roles in the right column with the help of arrows. For example, add user roleBusiness Owner to the right column.

Click Save. The role is mapped under the Roles column for selected action and state.

The users with role as Business Owner will now be able to access the action Configure Extension Attributes for the agreement entities in Approved state. For example, user Anushree added to the agreement’s team as Business Owner can access Configure Attributes action on Extension Attributes page for the agreement entities in Approved state.

Defining access for extension attributes using Attribute Group Privileges

Authorized users can restrict the access to extension attributes for specific users using Attributes Group Privileges.

To restrict the access:

Click User Administration > User Groups > Attribute Group Privileges > Add on the Home page. The Add window to configure and add the attribute group privileges opens.
Select Copy from Contract Type. For example, RFQ.
Toggle Show Extension attribute Group to Yes.
Select Attribute Group for which you want to restrict the access. For example,Location Details.
Select States for which you want restrict the access. For example, Approved.
Select user Roles for whom you want restrict the access. For example, Business Owner.

Click Save. The Mapping added successfully message is displayed. The added mapping will be displayed in the table on attribute group privileges page under the selected entity.

The user with roleBusiness Owner will be restricted to access the selected attribute group in selected state. For example, user Anushree (added as Business Owner to the agreement’s team) will not be able to access Location Details attributes for the RFQ contract type in Approved state.

Making the contract type available for extension attributes selection

Users can make the attributes of masterdata available for extension by setting Is available to be used as Extension field to Yes. Masterdata contract types which have this field value set to Yes will only be available for extension on the Configure Attributes window during agreement creation.

Note: By default, the Is available to be used as Extension field is set to No for all masterdata contract types. Ensure to set this field to Yes to make the attributes of the desired masterdata contract type available for extension.

To edit the masterdata:

Click Configuration > Contract Types on the Home page. The Contract Type index page opens.
Click View Record icon next to the masterdata contract type you want to edit. For example, Food Master. The contract type Details page opens.
Click Edit. The Edit Contract Type page opens.
Toggle the Is available to be used as Extension field to Yes.

Click Next.
Edit the details on the remaining Display Preference and Team tabs if required.
Verify the details and click Update. The contract type is updated.

The masterdata Food Master is then available on the Configure Attributes window in the Select Contract Type drop-down during agreement creation.

Examples of different attribute types available as extension attributes

Attribute types such as conditional, lookup, computations (enable expressions), tracking, multi-select choice and so on can be configured to support extension attributes.

For example, the masterdata Vehicle Master has types of attributes which can be extended. The attribute Place of delivery Vehicle is conditional attribute and it’s value depends upon the Do you want to Place Order attribute’s value.

The attribute Place of Delivery Vehicle is displayed only when the attribute Do you want to Place Order is set to Yes.

Note: User cannot delete the parent extension attribute if there are any dependent conditional or cascading attributes.

Users can make the attribute mandatory by setting the Is Required For Extension attribute field On in the contract type.

For example, the attribute Vehicle Part Number is mandatory (with red asterix mark). The mandatory attributes are available on the Extension Attributes tab during agreement creation by default and users cannot remove them. For example, the delete action is disabled for the mandatory attribute Vehicle Part Number.

Note: Extension attributes can be configured to be excluded during copy agreement through technical configuration.

Administrators can:

Configure email attribute to capture single or multiple email addresses while setting up a contract type
Configure email attribute in Notification Subscriptions as To, Cc and Bcc recipients.
Configure the sender’s email ID (From Email Address) dynamically based on the specific contract type or instance of a record by setting up subscription templates using specific user or role or user attribute.
Configure the email addresses for Reply To in the subscriptions setup which recipients can revert to

Configuring contract types to capture user emails

Users can enable capturing the single or multiple user email addresses during agreement creation by configuring attributes with Data Type as Email and Email Type Option as Single/Multiple at the contract type level.
To edit the contract type:

+*When copying associations, creating peer to peer association from base agreement is disabled. Hence, the MSA will not be attached to the new SOWs.

+== Adding Contract Manager role for agreements ==
+In the contracting process, a Contract Manager/Owner manages or owns the agreement and is generally different from the user who has created/ initiated the agreement. This user who is managing the agreement might change from time to time. For example, User A may have ownership during authoring process, whereas the User B might look after the agreement during the negotiation process.&nbsp;<br/> Hence, the Contract Manager role has been introduced to manage agreement ownership throughout the agreement lifecycle.<br/> With this release:<br/> •&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Assignment of the user against Contract Manager role in the team can be only achieved through event rules using action Add To Team.<br/> •&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Only one Contract Manager is available inside the agreement at any given point of time.<br/> •&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;The Contract Manager will have provisions same as that of primary owner.<br/> •&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Contract Manager Name are displayed on the agreement Summary page.<br/> •&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Agreements can be searched using the Contract Manager Name.<br/> •&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Managing adhoc modification for Contract Manager role user will be restricted inside the agreement team tab similar to primary owner role user.&nbsp;
