Contract Management Pro (CM Pro) is a contract life-cycle management solution used to set up contract document templates, clauses, clause variations, and initiate contract requests. It also supports e-signatures and external storage systems. The integration of Sourcing and Procurement Operations with ​ Contract Management Pro aims to streamline cross-team collaboration and enable legal professionals to run their contracting work within the sourcing and purchasing process.​ With this integration, procurement specialists can initiate contract requests (CRs) manually throughout the sourcing and purchasing process. Note: To use this application, a license is required for both Contract Management Pro and Sourcing and Procurement Operations. Using this integration, procurement specialists can create contract requests for the following: * Purchase lines * Purchase requisitions * Sourcing requests * Negotiations * Sourcing events {#integration-spo-cmpro__ul_olp_msx_gbc} ## User roles required for the SPO-CM Pro better together feature {#integration-spo-cmpro__section_iks_lby_gbc} The following roles are required to initiate, view, and manage contract execution: * Sourcing and purchasing viewer: This is a new role provided within the Contract specialist assignment group.
