What are the possible states of a SELL & SIGN contract?
SELL&SIGN contracts can be in the following states. Each of these states corresponds to a tab in the SELL&SIGN back
office:
- In progress: the contract has been prepared but has not yet been signed. Either it has not yet been presented for signature, or it is awaiting the signature of one or more remote signers. If the contract is awaiting signature, the "signers" icon (representing two characters) is visible in the "Actions" column of the Backoffice, and allows relaunching the signers.
- To validate: the contract has been signed by all the signatories, but has not yet been validated by your organization. It must be validated to be countersigned, sealed, communicated to the signatories and passed into legal archiving. The contract models can be configured in "automatic validation", in which case the contracts of this model will go into the "Validated" state automatically upon signature of the last customer signer.
- Validated: the contract has been validated (manually or automatically) and the finalized version has been communicated to all signatories. It is therefore legally valid. If legal archiving applies, the contract will be automatically archived after a short period.
- Archived: the contract has been transmitted to the legal archiving third party and is archived for the duration defined in your license.
- Abandoned: the contract has been abandoned, either manually by a user having the right, or because the maximum signature period has expired (by default 30 days, see the following article on this subject: article).
