Manage Signatures - Contracts

Use this parameter to activate the management of signatures on purchase open orders and specify if this management is optional or mandatory.

When signature management is activated, the associated delivery requests can only be created when the open order has been signed.

In inter-company or inter-site contexts, the corresponding sales open order can only be generated once the purchase open order signature is fully complete.

This parameter can be set to:

Non: Signature management is deactivated. The open order signature status is set to: No management. You can create delivery requests from this open order, at all times.

Yes optional: Signature management is enabled, but it must be set up against an assignment rule or the purchase open order will be automatically signed. See the POCSIG - Order signature management workflow event.

Yes mandatory: Signature management is activated. Signature management must be set up against all assignment rules. Otherwise, the purchase open order is considered to be unsigned and another workflow event is triggered to warn authorized users that no assignment rule has been defined. See the POCSIGNCR - No-rule notification workflow rule.
