Validate a Project Contract Using the Assistant

This topic provides instructions for validating a project contract using the Project Contract Validation Assistant.

Before You Start

Make sure that:

• The contract is an external project contract in Draft or Under Amendment status.

• You know the contract name or contract number.
• You have access to the contract and to the assistant.

Steps

1. Open the Agent Explore page.
2. Start the Project Contract Validation Assistant.
3. Enter the contract name or contract number.
4. Review the validation results.
5. If no validation errors or warnings are found, choose whether to submit the contract for approval.
6. If validation errors or warnings are found, review the problem details and problem resolution guidance.
7. Open the contract in the Contracts work area. Make the required corrections.
8. Return to the assistant and validate the contract again.

If the assistant finds one matching contract

The assistant validates the contract and shows the results.

If no validation errors or warnings are found, the assistant asks whether you want to initiate contract approval process.

If the assistant finds multiple matching contracts

The assistant shows the matching contracts and asks whether you want to select one or further filter the results.

You can refine the results by providing details such as:

• Business unit
• Customer
• Contract type

After the assistant identifies the correct contract, it validates the contract.

If validation errors or warnings are found

The assistant asks whether you want to submit the contract for approval.

If you respond Yes, the assistant submits the contract for approval.

If you respond No, the assistant doesn’t submit the contract and asks whether you want to validate another contract.

Note:

The assistant can’t submit a contract for approval when validation errors or warnings exist.
