Contract management setup

Supplier contracts are created based on items or services purchased over the life of the contract.

A contract is a formal, legal agreement between a buyer and a seller for the buying of goods and services. With Contract Management, you can create contracts outside of a company's legal department but still follow set guidelines such as terms and conditions. Other features of Contract Management include:

  • Creating a contract from predefined terms and conditions
  • Using document templates to create a contract document during negotiations
  • Selecting predefined articles and terms
  • Applying flexible pricing, including tiered pricing and multiple price structures for an item
  • Supporting items and vendor items fromInventory Control and Purchasing
  • Recording and tracking rebates
  • Using retainage to withhold a portion of a payment to ensure a project is completed

See the Contract Management User Guide for processing data after the setup is complete.
