E-Sourcing and Contract Generation

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Can we implement E-Sourcing application only now and Contract Generation next year?

Or do we have to have the initial setup from hardware perspective completed now?

Thanks

My client implemented sourcing first and is now doing CLM.

Hi JS,

Typically Contract Generation is recommended to be running on a seperate dedicated server.

As you might be aware its MS Word or MS Office service running on the server.

You can certainly include in your hardware design now and install the MSI or the executable provided along with ESOURCING software at a later time. There are certain system properties that needs to be set up or turned on at the time of installing the word service.

It should be fine. Contracts module for check-in/check-out cannot be used without contract generation server configured. However you could still use contracts module to capture header level data. Spend Analysis/Projects/RFx/Auctions/Vendor Management/XPress modules can be used without contract generation server.

Good Luck
