CLM Contract Document issue

HI Experts,
i have a doubt in Contract document approval processes.......
i.e. Can we trigger more than one contract documents approval workflow process same time against Agreement or Master Agreement?
if yes , whether Collaborator list Shows proper Approval names (if two approval process triggers need to show two approver names)
Thanks,
Pavan.

HI Pavan,
Please clarify the business requirement.
How can we have two approver symultenously that should be sequencial i.e. one after other.

CLM Contract Document Work flow ISSUE

Hi Experts,
I am facing an issue with approvers collaborator in Agreements
i.e. if am processed workflow consecutively in two contract documents against an Agreement .
at a time it is showing only one approver but it should show two approvers in collaborator of an agreement
Please help on this to resolve issue.
Thanks in advance,
Pavan.

Pavan,
You must be using process definition for workflow, so you can see only one at a time as it approvals are in sequence.

CLM - Maximum File Size for Contract Documents

We did a search but did not find an answer for this. For the CLM system does anybody know SAP's recommendation on the maximum file size that the application can reliably handle for contract documents? We recently increased the maximum file size from 10MB to 50MB to accommodate a larger than allowed file size. Now the business has requested the capacity to add files (pdf files) up to 115MB. Would increasing our file limit to approximately 150MB be within the recommended parameters?

There is no specific recommendation for maximum file sizes as this depends on how your time-out parameters are set, your server resources and network (also tunneling policies). The fact is the higher the filesize the more risk you run in unreliable uploads. Compressing files before uploading is a good practise for larger files.
These are the same issues which you would run into if you for example upload to a sharepoint site or even a copy on a shared drive, it all depends on the same parameters.
Tunneling policies could also affect your performance as it will limit the upload speeds according the priority set on certain network activities and if it limits your bandwidth you run in the risk of time-out so as you see there is no straight answer to your question. I know customers who can without no problem upload 150Mb files and others who already have issues with 50Mb.
Unfortunate, as I do not know your architecture and infrastructure I can only advice to stresstest the conditions of 150 Mb uploades with several user ids and see if you get time-outs or if it degrades the network performance. One of the questions you should ask your business is how frequent are the occurences of 150Mb+ uploads and if it is the appropiate way. It could be that these are very rare and in that case you could ask them to do this outside the busy hours of the network which will provides you less risk in problems.

Workflow Daemon is stuck in E sourcing CLM and documents are not flowing to approvers.which place should i check for this issue related information i have already checked default traces and Logs

Hi Guys,
We have a situation in our landscape where workflow daemon service is stuck and we have to restart the Esourcing system.
Could you please help here where should i check the cause of the issue.
i have already checked the Default traces and Esourcing traces.
Could you help in identifying the cause.
Regards
Tarun

Hi Tarun,
Open the Document for e.g. Contract Document, on the Document Tab there is an option for Phase Information open that page this will give you all the information related to the phase and where it is stuck, with which user it is pending etc.
Now since the workflow is stuck, either you can restart the Demon Registration via background Task Status. or else Cancel the Workflow so it can be restarted. by doing the below steps.
1) goto Setup
2) open Workflow Definition Under Workflow.
3) now choose the phase at which your Workflow is stuck.
4) open that phase.
5) under Reports Tab there is option for " Current Workflow Processes"
6) open the Current Workflow Processes
7) search the document which is stuck
8) click on the "X" mark = Cancel the workflow process option
9) it will take you to the workflow cancel wizard screen. give the comment why you need to cancel this and click on Finish
10 ) once the Workflow is canceled the phase will go to the Requester review phase and form here you will have to manully move to the next phase. so the workflow can be restarted. once done refresh it.
11) before doing this take Approval from the customer.
If the above does not work and still there is an issue then please check the Pre- Phase script.
Let me know if this works.
Thanks

SAP CLM format in contract documents

Hello Experts:
I am creating contract documents with tokens
1. I created some new fields in company code section:
     a. New field 1 <%New field 1%>
     b. New field 2 <%New field 2%>
     c. New field 3 <%New field 3%>
2. After I configured tokens to bring the information for the new fields in my contract document
     a. Created new token in variable library
     b. New token: <%New.token1%>
     c. Source object: Master Agreement
     d. Attribute name: company code
     e. check in advance object reference
     f. set document with <%New.field1%>
     g. upload sub variable, this include token <%New.field1%>
3. After this I repeated the same procedure with new field 2 and field 3 creating: <%New.token2%> and <%New.token3%>
When I tried to add this new token to a contract document I got different format of the document, for example I configured in the following way:
This contract with the company new field <%new.token1%>, and new field2 <%new.token2%>, and also <%new.token3%>..
And when I uploaded the document the result was the following:
This contract with the comapany new fields
Result 1
Result 2
Result 3
and the new field and also..
is there a way to fix this issue?
thanks in advance

Thanks Gary,
I solved this issue doing the following:
Uncheck the options of Generate MS Word 2007 and uncheck Enable MS Word 2007 content controls .
Now I am having another problem, when I tried to compare the two versions and click on compare button, nothing happens.
I would appreciate your recommendations.
thanks in advance

Read-only Collaborator can edit Contract Document properties

We have a master agreement with a read-only collaborator. The security profile for this collaborator role is identical to the stock "Document Reviewer" profile, i.e. only View is set.
However this supposedly read-only collaborator is able to edit Contract Document properties. They click on the Contract Documents tab, then drill into a Contract Document, and then click on the Edit button. From there, they have the ability to change fields such as Name, Descrpition, Effective Date, etc. They cannot change or delete the actual file attachment itself.
Is this an issue with CLM, or is there some security setting we are missing somewhere? Please tell me this is not working as designed ..
thanks.

Hi Terry,
According to your description, my understanding is that you don’t want the yollow bar notification to display when you open Access documents.
This issue seems to be about the client application. Please compare the followings with the things that you did:
1.Open the documents
2.Click File->Options->Trust Center->Trust Center Settings
3.Click Protected View, unselect ‘Enable Protected View for originating from the Internet’
4.Click Message Bar, select ‘Never show information about blocked content’
5.Click Macro Settings, select ‘Disable all macros without notification’
In addition, as this issue is about Office, I commend you create a new thread in Office forum, more experts will assist you with this issue.

I hope this helps.

SAP SRM Contracts Vs SAP CLM Contract

Hi SAP Gurus,
Can you guys please tell me the difference between SAP SRM Contracts and SAP CLM Contracts.
In which factors SAP CLM serves better than SAP SRM??
Why SAP CLM came into existence when we have SRM Contracts? What are the draw back and what is not achieved with SRM Contracts?
Thanks in Advance

Hello Sanjay
There are many differences, SAP CLM Contract run in Sourcing and SAP SRM Contracts run in SRM.
Advantages CLM Contracts:
- Establish a contract as a result of a project
- build the draft agreement from a template
-   - Create your own folder structure to organize your contract attachments
    - Transfer quickly attachments between the different folders
-   - Download easily multiple attachments with a single click
- Administrator can create new customer fields (extensions) and customer tables (extension collections) for all      master agreements or specific master agreements
     - New customer fields are immediately available in the UI and as a search parameters
      - All is done via configuration, therefore no upgrade issues
     - Generation of contract document out of master agreement
     - Template Library with approved legal contract templates for quick contract generation
     - Possibility to provide end user with flexibility to modify the provided content from the template during contract creation
      - Adjust contract by adding or removing of clauses and sections to the content provided by the selected contract template
      - Multiple content options (alternative clause content) available to provide end user with controlled flexibility
      - Automated transfer of master agreement meta data into generated contact document
      - Creation and transfer of line item table into contract document
-     - Creation of a unique barcode on the contract header
      - Contract negotiation with clause changes in MS Word are tracked in the contract repository
      - Change of meta data like Agreement Effective Date in MS Word possible and transfer back to master agreement in repository
      - etc
The are the possibility to integrate CLM contract to SRM Contracts

Vendors Unable to Check-In Contract Documents (e-Sourcing 5.1 Patch 06)

Vendors Unable to Check-In Contract Documents (e-Sourcing 5.1 Patch 06)
When moving to patch 06 for e-Sourcing we found that Vendors were no longer able to check-in contract documents, even though they checked them out successfully.
On Patch 05 this was not an issue with the exact same configuration.
Has anyone had any encounters with this?
- Is there a permission that needs to be set to something specific? I tried create/read/edit but that doesn't seem to work.
Thanks.

When working with a Master Agreement or Sub Agreement within e-Sourcing you can attach Contract Documents (Word files) that you and the vendor can collaboratively work on.
Just like a source control system you can check out a document to make edits to ensure that no one else makes edits at the same time. You then must check back in the document to remove the 'lock'.
On patch level 06 we found that although Vendors could perform the Check-out procedure (On a Contract Document click Actions -> Check-Out) they are not permitted to then check-in the document (Actions -> Check-In).
Buyside users do not experience any issues with check-out/in.
Hope that helps clear up the issue.
Thanks,
Greg

How to get value of MA attributes on Contract Document phase change script

Hi,
I need to get value of Master Agreement attributes on Contract Document phase change.
When Contract document phase changes to Supplier Draft, I want values of Master Agreement - Publish date, vendor visible, email.
But I am unable to retrieve the same.
I wrote IBean code to get but was not working.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Saloni

Hi Saloni,
There is nothing different that you should do for this script.
Use the getParentIBean() function on Contract Document to get the parent MA/SA. From there on it is as simple as using the correct getters to fetch the values.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Updating contract document extension fields from workflow

I have a multi-step contract document workflow which routes first to an attorney and then through a series of business approvers. The business approvers might reject the workflow for a number of non-legal related reasons which would not required the legal document to be changed. I want to flag the document when the attorney approves in case the workflow is ultimately rejected and later restarted, the legal approval step can be skipped if the attorney previously approved and the legal agreement file has not been changed. I have been unable to update a contract document extension field from within the middle of a workflow. The system has the contract document locked but I'm not sure if that's what's blocking me and if so, can I unlock the document, make the change, and relock the document from the post-script?

Jeff,
Unlocking/Relocking might be the right approach. You also may be experiencing a privilege issue based on the user running the script (but I doubt it if you are able to update other fields based on approvals). Let us know what you find out!
