Contracts – Status
Contracts – Status
There are various pre-set system statuses that can be set for a Contract. These statuses can be used to manage the life cycle of the Contract. They can also be used to filter and report on Contracts. In addition, some functionality is only available for Contracts in certain Statuses.
Some of the statuses have specific meaning, while some are more general and are included as they may be used during the Contract life cycle. However, the use of these statuses can be more specifically defined by an Organization about what it means and how it is used. Where that is applicable, it will be noted in the definition of the status.
