Contract Management

Utilize the potential of centralized and fully integrated contract management

In the context of the increasing interconnectedness of operational and strategic processes in procurement, it is vital for core processes like contract management to be comprehensively mapped, integrated and system-based.

Seamless integration with upstream and downstream processes, such as the tendering procedure, allows purchasing departments to negotiate contracts effectively and without integration gaps.

Effectively incorporate contract management into your critical operational and strategic process flows

SAP SRM 7.0 is streets ahead of the competition! Operational contracts created in SRM are available as a source of supply in SRM and in connected ERP systems. "Legal contract documents" can be stored as digital images in SAP SRM, and indexed using a full-text search. SRM acts as a central repository for all legal and operational contracts.

For contract release orders, information such as price, validity, release order limits, tolerances, currencies, etc., is automatically taken into account. This means that flexible, end-to-end, detailed monitoring is possible in SAP SRM (EhP 1) or using a connected SAP BI system, for example.

The core content of SAP SRM 7.0 Contract Management includes:

  • a central contract repository for legal and operational contracts, including
    extensive search mechanisms
  • contracts available as a source of supply in SRM and in the ERP system
  • easy identification of sources of supply thanks to advanced search options
  • direct uploads of item selections to e-catalogs
  • visibility in terms of contract usage and attainment of KPIs (e.g. prices, validity, call-off limits, tolerances, currency, etc.)
  • automatic alert function when threshold values are reached
  • easy use of contracts in the tendering process
  • easy online and offline mass updating of contracts (with Excel)
  • centralized compliance monitoring (e.g. using SAP BI)
