About this release

Contract document creation

The contract document creation function has been completely renewed. It is now possible to compose a document together with the supplier. You can compose a selection of text-blocks, the supplier can then comment on this from the Supplier Portal and approve or reject the blocks. At the end, the document can be generated and saved with the contract. Contract document creation can be found in the Contracts module and can be recognized by the icon below.
