This article addresses how contracts, regardless of source, will be approved. This includes Purchasing Contracts but does not include Purchase Orders.

The design of the Supplier Contract Approval Workflow will incorporate the required digital signatures via DocuSign integration with PeopleSoft’s approval workflow. The transaction records requiring approvals & signatures will be prohibited from processing until all signatures are received.

Each contract is assigned a contract type, which determines the workflow. There are various workflows, depending on Contract Type. Contract Type determines the path.

There are several potential sources of documents that may be turned into contracts. Sources are as follows:

  1. Strategic sourcing RFx document
  2. Cut-and-paste of entire contract from external system into PeopleSoft
  3. Procurement Contract
  4. Purchase Order
  5. Requisition
  6. Contract created directly in Supplier Contract Management
