Objective
Once the details of a SOW Template have been configured, you can begin defining the clauses and characteristics.
Clauses are the legal terms for standard regulatory governance polices and conditions and may outline the contractual language or agreement between a buyer and a supplier.
Specific clauses can be added to SOW templates so they appear by default when creating an SOW. This is accomplished by attaching a clause from the clause library.
WorkingNet Networking, Inc., a global manufacturer of data networking equipment, is building several new distribution centers in several countries, while simultaneously implementing new logistics software and processes.
Their first new distribution center is being built in a suburb of Atlanta, so WorkingNet will use the new Atlanta hub as their base of operations. They're going to engage CarryAll Consulting, a logistics design and implementation firm, to both help streamline their logistics processes as well as implement the new software.
In order to engage CarryAll, WorkingNet will use SAP Fieldglass to create the statement of work. However, they've never engaged a services provider for this type of work before, so WorkingNet will need to build a new SOW Template to accommodate this project.
WorkingNet wants to include a clause in the SOW that explains the confidentiality required from third-party service providers. This clause has already been defined and added to the clause library.
As the SAP Fieldglass administrator for WorkingNet, you've already completed the first section of the SOW Template by adding details such as who is defining the SOW, whether the template can be used for SOW Bids, and adding relevant currencies.
It's now time to add clauses.
Before that, however, you'll determine whether clauses—and characteristics and SOW workers—should be allowed on the SOW.
This is a continuation of a previous simulation. Please see the lesson Configuring the SOW Template Form Page to review the previous step in the process of creating an SOW Template.Clauses can be added to SOW Template from a predefined clause library to ensure that statements of work are compliant with legal terms and requirements specific to a project.
