Compliance Management
The Compliance Management tile enables you to go through all Commitments available and take required actions on them. It consists of the following tiles:
- Commitments
- Fulfilling a Commitment
- Adding Commitments to an Agreement
Understanding Commitments
Every Agreement has obligations associated with it. These obligations are known as Commitments. You can manage Commitments by setting up reminders, transaction clauses, review timelines and much more using the Commitment Management tile on the Dashboard.
From the Commitments tile you can:
- See the complete list of Commitments available, and search Commitments in a variety of ways in the same way as for Agreements through Searching Agreements and Requests.
- Customize this page. Refer to Navigating in ICM for details.
- Go to the specific Agreement Details page for which the Commitment was created by clicking the View Record icon.
Adding Commitments to an Agreement
Commitments are reminders of tasks or actions that need to be taken either while creating the Agreement or after its execution. They are added manually to keep track of and ensure that various obligations of the Agreement are being met. While creating the agreement, these Commitments can be towards Rules and Clauses and post-execution for ensuring that certain dates are being met or for exercising the extension option.
You can also add External users and External users with login privilege as business owners of a Commitment. This helps in easy tracking and reporting of Commitments where the external users are supposed to take actions to fulfill those Commitments. This is a configurable feature.
To add a Commitment:
1. Click the View Record icon next to the Agreement you want to add the commitment to. The Agreement Details page opens.

- Recurring Commitment: You can set the commitments as recurring. Toggle to Yes and select the Commitment Frequency. The available options are Weekly, Monthly, Quaterly, SemiYearly and Yearly. For example, if there is a Clause for extension of the Agreement by 1 year, upto 3 times, you can:
- Add a reminder of 1-2 months before the renewal date
- Add instructions to say review extension for another year
- Define start and end dates of the Agreement
