When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This review is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this review covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links contract register and vendor scorecard
Not for
- Contract Register, which holds every commercial agreement, its value, term, renewal date and owner.
- Purchase Requisition Record, which requests a purchase, states the justification and routes it for the right level of approval.
- Rate Confirmation Record, which confirms the agreed rate, accessorials and terms for a load or a lane in writing before the vehicle moves.
- Anything outside KnowLogistics, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
