Contracts in your workspace

Keep commercial agreements, obligations and notice periods connected to the service they cover.

Contract records with a business purpose

Create an agreement record that identifies the supplier, covered service, responsible owner and commercial value. Type and status describe the agreement’s place in the inventory. Keep signed terms accessible to authorised reviewers rather than expecting an isolated filename to explain the commitment.

Confirm the agreement applies to the linked service.

Obligations beyond the headline price

An agreement can contain notice requirements, service periods and other obligations that affect the next purchasing decision. Record the relevant commercial context and verify it against the current agreement. The contract inventory organises the evidence; it does not independently interpret legal terms or guarantee that a proposed cancellation is valid.

Check the operative version of the agreement.

Cancellation terms and effective dates

A notice deadline can precede the service renewal date. Keep both concepts clear when entering commercial terms. Changes to a contract price or duration should reflect accepted terms and their effective dates, rather than an unapproved negotiation target.

Preserve the accepted terms and date.

Finding the agreement during a review

Search and type/status filters help locate the correct commercial record before reviewing a charge or renewal. A contract preview provides context and permitted editing actions. Use the related supplier and application to distinguish similarly named agreements.

Match the contract to its vendor and application.

Moving from agreement to renewal work

The contract describes the commitment; Renewals tracks the upcoming decision and its owner. Connect those workflows when preparing an extension, renegotiation or retirement. Record the authorised outcome in the relevant source records so a future reviewer can follow the changed obligation.

Open the related renewal before the decision deadline.
