Time Zone Support for Date dependent automated processes
In ICI there are scheduled jobs that perform certain actions on the agreements based on conditions. For example, an executed/reviewed agreement gets expired based on the expiry date by a scheduled job. These scheduled jobs followed the Universal Time Zone (UTC) for taking actions on activities of agreement status changes.
ICI provides the flexibility for enterprise organizations to track the time zone/region based on their regional offices or as needed by their vendors/suppliers, etc. A time zone attribute is now provided that supports for date factor which needs to be considered for the instance of an agreement.the flexibility for enterprise organizations to track the time zone/region based on their regional offices or as needed by their vendors/suppliers, etc. A time zone attribute is now provided that supports for date factor which needs to be considered for the instance of an agreement.
It is possible to:
- Configure a time zone attribute to track activities such as expiration, termination, auto renewal, assignment and auto supersede (supersedable by assignment, supersedable by amendment, supersedable by termination).
- Based on selected time zone, day light saving constraint will be taken care for mentioned schedule job activities.
- Flexibility to run scheduled jobs based on time zone captured on agreement instance or based on the default behavior to follow UTC if the time zone is not configured or not captured on the agreement instance.
- ICI application will take care of running the schedule jobs in different time zone so that it helps to consider multiple time zone used by organization within the same ICI instance.
- Enhancement on Expiry task to expire the agreements at end of the day based on the expiry date.
Note: The time zone based processing can be enabled for all the contract types across the ICM through technical configuration. If there is time zone selection enabled for the specific agreement at the contract type level, it will then override the time zone at the system level.The time zone based processing can be enabled for all the contract types across the ICM through technical configuration.
