Adding a framework agreement for outsourcing
Framework agreements can be added in the Outsourced maintenance proposals TSI, on the Framework agreements level. A Framework agreement for outsourcing is used as a container that holds all outsourced maintenance proposals for a subcontractor.
* 
Some settings with regard to generating outsourced assignments can be made on the framework agreement. These settings will save you time and effort entering data, for example by enabling you to have data from previous outsourced assignments copied automatically to any subsequent ones. See Framework agreement fields and Detection of outsourced assignments to copy data from.
Procedure
1. Go to the Outsourced maintenance proposals TSI and select the Subcontractors level.
* 
If this TSI has been split up in your configuration to create a separate Framework agreements TSI, you should go to that TSI.
2. Select the subcontractor for whom you want to add a framework agreement.
3. On the action panel, click Add.
4. Complete the fields in the data panel.
For information on the available fields and the settings you can make with regard to generating outsourced assignments, refer to Framework agreement fields and to Split method for outsourcing.
5. Click Save.
The framework agreement is added for the selected subcontractor.
* 
Any communication or documents relating to the framework agreement, such as emails, reports etc., can be uploaded and stored as communication logs at the subsequent selection level.
