Vendor Data in InEight Document

InEight Document’s Vendor Data module is used to manage the submission and review process for Vendor deliverables.

The Vendor Data Requirement list is known in the early stages of a project so can be defined either before purchase contracts are awarded or at the time of award. Using the “Required by” dates, the submission process can be tracked and expedited through InEight Document.

InEight Document’s Vendor Data module can also assist in managing the review process for Vendor documents as they are related to deliverable list requirements and in turn, contract packages.

A management and tracking process for the application of liquidated damages in the case of late Vendor document submissions is also available.

The Vendor Data module is structured as a hierarchy of entities:

  • Contracts;

  • Items Purchased within the Contract;

  • Deliverable Line Items (Vendor data requirements) within the Item Purchased; and lastly

  • Documents submitted against the Deliverable Line Items.

A Contract may have a single or multiple Items Purchased, against which there will be a number of Deliverable Line Items required.

The Vendor Data Module is activated by InEightSoftware on projects by request.
