Setting Up a Contract Workflow

  1. Access Workflow Configuration

    • Go to the "Configurations" section.

  2. Manage Workflows

    • Click on "Manage workflows".

  3. Add a New Workflow

    • Click on "Add workflow".

  4. Select Workflow Scope

    • Choose "Contract" under the workflow scope.

  5. Define Workflow Steps

    Define Entry Conditions

    • If you'd like to base the workflow on entry conditions, you can select one from the dropdown menu. Options include:

      • All (if no specific entry condition is needed)

      • Department

      • Amount

      • Class

      • Account

      • Category

    Set Approval Levels

    • After setting the entry conditions, add the approval levels by choosing from the following options:

      • HR Hierarchy - if the approval should be routed to the user's Reporting Manager for approval.

      • Group Approval - if there are 2 or more approvers for the inventory order, the order can be approved as long as one approver approves it.

      • Individual User - If the approval needs to be routed to different individuals based on varying amount limits or departments.

      • Order Contact - If the document needs approval/confirmation from the user who has raised the inventory order.

  6. Save Workflow

    • Save the newly created workflow to implement it.

Post-Approval

  • Once all approval steps are completed, the contract status will automatically change to "Live," indicating it is finalized and active.
