Use the manage contract repository agentic workflow to improve productivity by
extracting metadata and obligations automatically from signed contracts. Set the contract
reminder dates for contract renewal or termination.

## Manage contract repository overview {#manage-contract-repository-workflow__section_z3c_f13_v2c}

The manage contract repository agentic workflow uses an AI agent to do the following sequentially.

* Extract metadata from signed contracts.
* Calculate the contract reminder date for renewal and termination.
* Extract obligations from signed contracts.
{#manage-contract-repository-workflow__ul_lnd_gjc_dhc}

## Metadata extraction and contract reminders {#manage-contract-repository-workflow__section_it3_ydd_dhc}

The AI agent uses the Now Assist contract metadata extraction skill to
extract key metadata from signed contracts. Once the metadata extraction is complete, you
can open the playbook to review the extracted information and set the contract reminder
date.  
The following workflow explains the metadata extraction and contract reminder setup process.

1. As a Contract Admin with the AI role, activate the contract metadata extraction skill in the Now Assist Admin console.

   For more information, see [Configure the manage contract repository agentic workflow for Software Asset Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/s13rDz69v~CcwC1B1S89RA "Install the Now Assist in Contract Management plugin (sn_cm_gen_ai) and activate the generative AI skills to use the manage contract repository agentic workflow.").
2. Navigate to Software Asset WorkspaceLicense operationsContractsSoftware contracts and select New.
3. Save the contract record.
4. Select the Initiate contract extraction button and upload a signed contract file.
5. After the contract metadata and reminders extraction is complete, the Contract Manager with the AI role receives a notification indicating that the metadata is ready for review.
6. The Contract Manager reviews the extracted metadata and submits it to update the contract repository.
7. The contract reminder date is then calculated based on the following factors:
   * Contract end date
   * Presence of auto-renewal clause
   * Notice period for contract renewal or termination  
     Nota:  
     If the renewal notice period and termination notice period aren't available, it uses the configured default notice period. For more information, see [Set the default notice period for the Manage contract repository agentic workflow](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=conf-sys-prop-default-np&version=australia&pubname=australia-employee-service-management&ft:locale=en-US).
   {#manage-contract-repository-workflow__ul_qgr_gjp_2hc}
8. The Contract Manager sets the contract reminders in the playbook by reviewing the calculated date and configuring the recipient list for the reminders.

## Obligation extraction {#manage-contract-repository-workflow__section_tgm_mt3_dhc}

The AI agent uses Now Assist contract obligation extraction skill to
extract key contractual obligations from contracts. Once extracted, you can review the
obligations within the contract playbook and choose to accept or reject them. Accepted
obligations are added as records in the Obligations tab of the
contract record.  
The following workflow explains the obligation extraction process.

1. As a Contract Admin with the AI role, activate the contract obligation extraction skill in the Now Assist Admin console.

   For more information, see
   [Configure the manage contract repository agentic workflow for Software Asset Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/s13rDz69v~CcwC1B1S89RA "Install the Now Assist in Contract Management plugin (sn_cm_gen_ai) and activate the generative AI skills to use the manage contract repository agentic workflow.").
2. Navigate to Software Asset WorkspaceLicense operationsContractsSoftware contracts and select New.
3. Save the contract record.
4. Select the Initiate contract extraction button and upload a signed contract file.
5. After the obligation extraction is complete, the Contract Manager with the AI role receives a notification indicating that obligations are ready for review.
6. The Contract Manager reviews the extracted obligations within the contract playbook. Each obligation can be accepted or rejected based on relevance.
7. Approved obligations are automatically added as obligation records in the Obligations tab of the contract record.
8. Obligation tasks are created.
   * For a recurring schedule, the obligation tasks are automatically created for the obligation record based on the defined schedule.
   * For an ad hoc schedule, the contract manager creates an obligation task from the Obligation tasks tab in the contract record.
   {#manage-contract-repository-workflow__ul_lgh_vq4_2hc}
9. The assigned user is notified when the obligation task is created.
10. The assigned user works on the obligation task and submits it for review.The state
    of the obligation task changes from Open to Awaiting approval.

11. The Obligation Fulfiller reviews the task and approves or rejects it.
    * If the obligation task is rejected, the state of the task changes to Open, and the assigned user continues to work on it.
    * If the obligation task is approved, the state of the task changes to Completed.

## Conditions for initiating extraction from the contract file {#manage-contract-repository-workflow__section_ix2_d2j_dhc}

When a software contract is created, the Initiate contract extraction button appears on the contract form when the following conditions are met:

* One of the following Now Assist skills are activated on your ServiceNow instance:
  * Contract metadata extraction
  * Contract obligation extraction
  {#manage-contract-repository-workflow__ul_xls_fqy_d3c}
* At least one of these two extraction skills hasn't yet been executed on the contract record.  
  Nota:  
  If both contract metadata and obligation extraction skills have already been executed on the contract record, the Initiate contract extraction button doesn't appear on the contract form.

| Contract Repository AI agent | Uses various tools to perform the following: * Retrieves the contract repository details, such as contract vendor, contract model, contract document's attachment ID, and so on from a specific contract repository record. * Extracts metadata from signed contact documents based on the applicable use case in the contract metadata extraction skill. * Extracts obligations from signed contact documents based on the applicable use case in the contract obligation extraction skill. * Calculates the average lead time for similar contracts. {#manage-contract-repository-workflow__ul_bfc_mfk_dhc} |
