About Contract Requests

A request for a contract is the very first step of the contract lifecycle management. Business users (contract requesters) who don't have access to the contract application, raise a request to create a contract with their contract requirements. Usually, the requests are sent for approval to the requester's manager.

Once the request is approved, someone from the contract team or legal department reviews the request and creates the contract based on the information provided by the requester. If there’s insufficient information, the legal team member can ask the requester to provide more information. Once all the information is available, the assignee creates a contract from the request on behalf of the requester.
