Before entering a contract into Maximo, what must be true about the contract's site authorization?

For a contract to be entered into Maximo, it must be authorized for at least one site, which is critical for ensuring that the contract is valid and can be utilized effectively within the operational context of the organization. This requirement establishes that even if a contract may apply to multiple sites, it must have formal approval for a minimum of one site to proceed. This ensures that the terms of the contract are recognized and can be leveraged in the respective site’s operations, facilitating compliance and availability of resources as needed.

The need for site authorization helps in managing risk and ensuring accountability, as it allows specific sites to have control and oversight over the agreements they are bound by. It also fosters better contract alignment with local operational needs, which can differ across sites within an organization. This is why having at least one site’s authorization is vital for the contract to be valid and actionable within Maximo.
