Overview of Contracts Offering
Using the Enterprise Contracts business process area, your enterprise can review and define the setup for managing project and procurement contracts, and define the setup configuration and tasks related to importing and exporting contract data.
Before you begin, use the Offerings page in the Setup and Maintenance work area to access reports for each offering, including full lists of setup tasks, descriptions of the options and features you can select when you configure the offering, and lists of business objects and enterprise applications associated with the offering.
The first implementation step is to configure the offerings in the Setup and Maintenance work area by selecting the offerings and options that you want to make available to implement. For the Enterprise Contracts offering, you can select any of these options:
-
Procurement Contracts
-
Service Contracts
-
Sales Contracts
Next, create one or more implementation projects for the offerings and options that you want to implement first, which generates task lists for each project. The application implementation manager can configure the task list and assign and track each task.
If you select all of the options, the generated task list for this offering contains these groups of tasks:
-
Define Common Applications Configuration for Contracts
-
Define Contracts Common Configuration
-
Define Service Contracts Configuration
