Converting an Approved Contract Request
- The contract request is in Approved status.
- You are the contract manager assigned to the contract request in Contract Request Settings. The Convert to Contract button is only available to the assigned contract manager.
Once a contract request is approved, contract managers can convert it into a contract record. In the case of multiple (bundled) requests, a parent–child relationship is established between the resulting contracts. You can view the related contracts in the Related Contracts tab in the LINKS section of the contract request.
When a related contract request is approved and converted, the relationship is visible in the Relationships tab of the parent contract or vice versa.
The initial contract status depends on the source type selected for the request:
Own Paper: Contract status is set to In Authoring / Author Contract.
Third Party Paper with a contract document uploaded: Contract status is set to In Authoring / Author Contract.
Third Party Paper without a contract document: Contract status remains in Request status until a document is attached.
