Setting up Change Requests for Purchase Contracts

The Change Requests for Purchase Contracts feature enables users to make changes to their active purchase contracts by creating change requests. At the same time it offers them a version control system that helps them keep track of all changes applied. This section explains how to set up this feature in SCM.

Note: You must be signed in as the System Administrator to make the changes required to enable this feature.

Step 1: Assign Permissions

Ensure that the permission set below is assigned to the corresponding users.
