Offline Presentation

When all the required properties and approvals are complete, you can present a contract to more than one party offline.

Definition

Offline presentation is a contract presentation method in which a contract is sent to another party offline.

Considerations

The following considerations apply to offline presentation.

  • When you present a contract offline, the internal party retains the lock.
  • You can select the parties to whom you want to present the contract.
  • A contract that is presented offline cannot be presented again until a new revision of it applies.
  • You can disable an external party user account without an impact on the operation on the internal party side.
  • Offline presentation assumes that you want to perform your negotiation manually, but you can still use IBM Emptoris Contract Management as a tracking assistant.
