Practice of Setup steps for Procurement Contracts on R12 Version
Procurement Contracts Questionnaire
1) How many organizations will be involved in the implementation?

2) Will any of these organizations establish and administer standard contract
policies and terms at the global level?
3) Do your local organizations require customizing to meet local business and
policy? Regulations?
4) Do you have the following user roles for the library defined?

Approver defined who is different than for Procurement
Contracts.
6) Which organizations will administer and control the
Standard contract terms at the global level?
7) How does you organization create and store Contracts.
8) Do you need to translate your standard terms into multiple languages?

Oracle Procurement Contracts Function Security

Oracle Procurement Contracts enables organizations to control users' access to contact
authoring features. In this way, users with different roles, such as contract negotiators,
contract administrators, and contract approvers, can have access to only those features
they need to use. For example:
Contract negotiators may have standard authoring privileges allowing them access
to standard clauses and pre-approved alternates from the library.
• Contract administrators may have additional privileges allowing them to author
non-standard clauses or remove contract terms.
• Contract approvers or super users may have privileges that allow them to override
standard authoring controls. For instance, with override authoring privileges, users
can delete a mandatory clause from a business document or edit a protected clause.
So here you can control the access by setting up the main functions.
Main Menus are:
OKC Repository Super User Menu

OKC Contract Repository Setup Main Menu
These two menus are exclusions from the Main menu: OKC Contract Repository root menu
There are few functions which can be kept as “ View only / Authoring Responibility / Adminsitrator
responsibility.
Ø View Contract
Ø Create and Update Contract
Ø Change Status for approved signed
Ø Manage deliverables
Ø Manage risk
Ø Terminate contract
Ø Update contract administrator of a contract
Ø Change status from draft directly to signed
Ø Import Contracts
Ø User Repository Setup Tab
You are import clauses in order to stay update with the current business regulations and scenario .

Setting Up Contract Folders
You can organize clauses under different folders for easier retrieval.
Setting Up Variables
Oracle Procurement Contracts supports the use of business variables (tokens) in clause
text.
Setting Up Numbering Schemes

When creating contract templates, you can apply a numbering scheme to the sections
and clauses structure. This numbering scheme is applied to business documents in
which the contract template is used.
Use the Contract Terms Library to set up and manage numbering schemes.
Steps:
1. Log in to the Contract Terms Library Administrator responsibility.
2. Navigate to the Numbering Schemes page.
Navigation: Library > Numbering Schemes tab> Create Numbering Scheme button
3. Enter the Scheme Name.
4. Optionally, enter a Description for the scheme.
5. Optionally, select the Number Clauses check box to automatically number the
clauses in the contract.
6. Click the Add Another Level button to define the first numbering level.
7. Enter the following information for the numbering level:
• In the Sequence field, choose a sequence from the list of values.
• Optionally, enter an End Character. For example, a close parentheses ()).
• Optionally, select the Concatenate with Child check box to ensure that the
child level includes the numbering of its parent during previewing and
printing of the contract.
For instance, you would set up the numbering scheme as:
First level:
• a,b,c
• end character is "."
Concatenate with Child check box selected
Second level:
• I,II,III
• end character is ")"
The document will be numbered as:
• First Level = a.
• Second Level = a.I)
8. Click the Refresh button to preview the layout.
9. Optionally, add additional numbering levels.
10. Click Apply to save and close the Numbering Scheme page

See the below preview.

Setting Up Sections
Sections are headings under which you organize contract clauses. The headings provide
structure and organization to a printed contract document. You can define sections that
can be used in authoring templates and contracts.
Setting Up Standard Clauses

A standard clause is the text that describes the legal or business language used to
author a contract. Clauses are drafted based on both business and statutory
requirements.
Setting Up Contract Templates

Oracle Procurement Contracts enables you to define a standard set of templates to
easily default contract terms for contracts authored by your organization. You can
create templates that include both clauses and deliverables.

Setting Up Contract Expert

Ø Setup Contract terms library
Ø Set the Use Contract Expert profile option – Yes – Site Level
Ø To use Contract Expert on Business documents, you need to setup Contract Expert Rules in
the Contract Terms Library.
Ø Create and Approve Clauses
Ø Create and Approve Contract Templates
Ø Define Value Sets
Ø Define Constants
Ø Create Questions
Ø Create and activate a library of rules and assign them to appropriate ContractTemplates
Ø Enable Contract Expert on Contract Templates.
Ø Determine the sequence of display of questions when Contract Expert is used on Business
Documents.
Setting Up Contract Repository

Oracle Contracts now enables you to create miscellaneous contracts, such as license
Agreements, non-disclosure agreements, and merger agreements, which are not
Specifically related to the functionality of other Oracle applications. You can also create
Purchase or sales agreements for miscellaneous items that are outside the normal
Purchasing or sales flows, for which full execution capabilities are not required.
These types of contracts are stored in a new Contract Repository, and are called
Repository contracts.
Setting Up Profile Options
• Contract Repository Auto-Numbering Enabled
• Contracts Intent Access Control
Defining Approval Workflows
Define approval hierarchy and approval rules through the Oracle Approvals Manager.
Setting Up Contract Types

When users create Repository contracts in Oracle Contracts, they must select and assign
one of the user-defined contract types, such as Non-Disclosure Agreement and
Partnership Agreement, to the contract. You must define the contract types in advance.
Steps
1. Log in to the Contracts Workbench Administrator responsibility.
2. Click the Contract Types link. The contract types you define should be unique
across all organizations within the company. Note: For your reference, the Contract
Types page displays the list of seeded and current user-defined contract types.
3. Click the Create Contract Type button. The system displays the Create Contract
Type page.
4. In the Name field, enter a unique identifier for the contract type.
5. Enter a Description for the contract type.

6. Select an Intent from the list of values. Depending on the nature (Intent) of a
contract, the contract could be buy-side, sell-side, or neither. Each Contract Type
should be associated with one Intent. The possible values for Intent are Buy, Sell,
and Other. If the Contracts Intent Access Control profile option is used, this
selection will limit which users will be able to select this Contract Type.
7. Select a Start Date. This is the date that the contract type becomes available.
8. Optionally, select an End Date for the contract type. After the End Date has passed,
when creating new contracts, users will not be able to select this type.
9. Click the Apply button.

Setting Up Risks
When users create Repository contracts in Oracle Contracts, they may select multiple
risks associated with these contracts. For example: partner bankruptcy,
non-performance of a deliverable, non-compliance with non-disclosure terms, loss or

infringement of intellectual property, and damage to property or humans. This risks

must be defined in advance.
Steps
1. Log in to the Contracts Workbench Administrator responsibility.

cannot be selected on a contract.
9. Click Apply to save the risk.

Click Create Risk Button:

Setting Up Contact Roles

The contact role indicates the responsibility or function of different people in a contract.
For example, an employee (internal contact) can be assigned the role of "Purchasing
Manager" in a contract. There are no seeded contact roles. You can define an unlimited
number of contact roles. These roles will be available to users when adding internal or
external contacts to a party on a Repository contract.
Steps

2. Click the Contact Roles. For your reference, the Contact Roles page displays the list
of all user-defined roles. The roles you define should be unique across all
organizations within the company.
3. Click the Create Contact Role button. The system displays the Create Contact Role
page.
4. In the Name field, enter a unique identifier for the role.
5. Enter a Description for the role.
6. Select a Start Date.
7. Optionally, select an End Date for the role. After the End Date has passed, the role
cannot be selected on a contract.
8. Click Apply to save the role.

Setting Up Contracts Workbench

A single view of all enterprise contracts is essential for effective management of contract
activities, and for reporting and analysis of outstanding supplier and customer
commitments. Oracle Contracts provides a centralized Contracts Workbench that gives
you access and visibility to all contractual agreements in the enterprise. Contracts Workbench
allows contract administrators to see which contracts require attention, provides extensive search
capabilities, and has links to common tasks such as creating or approving a contract.

Contracts Workbench provides a single view of the following types of contracts:

• Contracts created in buy-side and sell-side Oracle applications: purchase orders,
purchase agreements, negotiations, orders, quotes and sales agreements.
• Repository contracts: For information, see Contract Repository, page 4-24.
Setting Up Profile Options

You can use the Contracts Intent Access Control profile option to restrict the access to
Contracts. Oracle Framework includes the OA Personalization Framework, which
enables you to personalize the appearance of Contracts Workbench without modifying
any underlying code.
The following are the most common ways to personalize Contracts Workbench:
Ø Notifications
Ø Recent Contracts
Ø Expired Contracts
Ø Expiring Deliverables
Ø Contracts at Risk.
Setting Up Contract Terms Library
Contract terms Library is the central library of all pre-approved clauses and contract
templates that can be used to create contracts across the enterprise.
Clauses can be grouped into sections and stored as reusable
contract templates to codify best practices. Templates provide a framework for rapid
assembly and creation of contracts.
Organizations can manage clauses and templates centrally
in a global organization. Local organizations can then use or duplicate these clauses and
templates and customize them to meet their own specific local requirements.
In addition to standard clauses and contract templates, the Contract Terms Library
supports the creation and maintenance of a library of folders, sections and variables.
A standard clause is the text that describes the legal or business language used to
author a contract. Clauses are drafted based on both business and statutory
requirements.
Creating Standard Clauses

Responsibility:- Contract terms library administrator
1. Navigate to the Create Clauses page.

Navigation: Library > Clauses tab > Create Clause button

Ø Choose the Create Clause button.

Ø Before going ahead your document sequence numbering should be
checked to know the generating clause number.
2. Enter the following attributes:

automatically generate the number, see the Setting Up Auto Numbering
section.
• Clause Title: Enter a title for the clause. The clause title is unique within an
organization.
• Display Name: Optionally enter the display name for the clause. The display
name does not have to be a unique name. Your organization could have
alternate names with the same display name. The system uses the Display
Name on a printed contract field. If you leave this field blank, the Clause Title is
used as the display name.
• Intent: Select the intent of the contracts that can use the clause. Select the Buy or
Sell option from the list of values.
Note: Based on the OKC: Clause Intent profile option setup, you
can create clauses for buy, sell, or both intents. If you set the profile
option to either Buy or Sell, the system provides read-only access to
the Intent field. This profile option also governs other feature in the
Contract Terms Library, including contract templates and variables.
• Type: Use the Type field to classify the clause according to the business purpose
(for example, General or Payment terms). Select a clause type from the list of
values.

• Default Section: Optionally select the default section from the list of values. You
can use sections as heading to format contracts.
• Description: Optionally enter a description for the clause.
• Status: The system controls this field. During the creation process, the clause is
in Draft status.

not global, you can make the subsequent versions global.
Adoption of clauses. ( Explore more )
Whenever the clause is adopted an email notification is send to the local administrator and the
global administrator for information and approval process of the clause. If the global clause is
adopted for local org , notification is send to the local administrator stating the date and type
of adoption of clauses.
Global organizations can monitor when and how global clauses are adopted across local
organizations. The Adoption Status report provides an overview of the adoption status
across multiple local organization for a given global clause. This report is only available
in the global organization and allows the global organization to analyze cases where the
global clauses are not adopted in a timely manner.
Viewing Adoption status:

Global organizations can monitor when and how global clauses are adopted across local
organizations. The Adoption Status report provides an overview of the adoption status
across multiple local organization for a given global clause. This report is only available
in the global organization and allows the global organization to analyze cases where the
global clauses are not adopted in a timely manner.
1. Navigate to the Clauses page.
Navigation: Contract Terms Library > Clauses tab
2. In the global organization, search for global clauses. For more information, see the
Searching for Clauses, page 6-12.

By:- Search by specific Clause.
Importing Clauses
You use the Clause import feature to import clauses into the Contract Terms Library. In
addition to clauses, you can import the following related entities:
• Variables
• Value sets that are used in variables
• Value set values
• Clause relationships that establish a clause to be an alternate or incompatible with
one or more clauses
Clause import can also be used on an ongoing basis to update these entities in the
library.
You can import clauses and the related entities using the following methods:
• Open Interface, page 6-25: For this method, use SQL*Loader, PL/SQL Scripts, or
JDBC to load the entities directly into the corresponding interface tables. This
process is outside the scope of the Clause import program. The clause import
validates the data and imports the content into the library.
• XML Data File, page 6-27: Using this method, you import data directly from a
source XML file that conforms to the XML schema that is published for import. The
clause import validates the XML data and imports the content into the library.

Variables:-

Create Variable : ( Rushi Just check where this Value set is created from )
When u click on update, again one more check box appears which is meant for “DISABLE”
just below the check box of “External Party Updateable.
