E-Sourcing NDA's

[Former Member]

Our company is using E-Sourcing and our buyers are asking me if there is a way to manage Non-Disclosure Agreements in E-Sourcing The NDA is a form that we ask our suppliers to sign before we do any business with them. Does anyone know if there is a way to manage these NDA's in E-Sourcing?

Thank you,

Mauricio

Hi,

NDAs can be managed on a Master Agreement as a Contract with full CLM functionality.

Additionally SAP has a consulting delivered solution that allows you to manage NDAs & Insurance certificates on the Vendors object. Basically a signed version of the NDA can be loaded into the vendor object and notifications can be triggered to when it expries to notify the buyer to update. You can get additional information from SAP Consulting.

As James mentions above, many companies are managing NDA's as contract documents in Master Agreements, leveraging full capabilities of E-Sourcing/CLM solution. (including buyer/supplier check-in/out capabiliities, storage of signed documents, approval workflow, and managing amemdement processes.)

If you specifically want to allow suppliers and internal users to "sign" the document using their "mouse" on the screen, then you will need to have a digital signature solution. We have several customers who are working with a couple of third party digital signature solutioin providers and our development team has been supporting the integration. We are planning to offer these solutions as a certified partner solution in the future.

Hi Ankush,

Yes, we are looking for our suppliers to agree and sign (digital signature) our NDA's via the SAP E-Sourcing tool. But I do not know how we can manage this process in the tool.

Hi,

you need to develop it.

Digital signature is a custom development and doesn't come with E-Sourcing.
