The "Approved" status in your contract workflow marks a pivotal moment when the contract, having undergone client-requested changes and subsequent client approval, is officially sanctioned and ready for the next phase of implementation. This status reflects a harmonious agreement between your landscaping business and the client, indicating that both parties have reached consensus on the terms and conditions outlined in the contract.
Upon client signature, whether on a printed document or through a digital form, either the system updates the contract status to "Approved" or it is manually entered from the printed Signed Contract. This designation serves as a formal acknowledgment that the client has given their official consent to the finalized contract terms. It is a crucial step that solidifies the contractual agreement and sets the stage for the execution of services outlined in the contract.
The "Approved" status not only signifies the completion of the negotiation and approval stages but also serves as a trigger for the subsequent steps in your workflow, particularly the creation of Work Orders derived from the approved contract. This status is indicative of a successful collaboration, clear communication, and a shared understanding between your landscaping business and the client, providing a solid foundation for the seamless execution of services outlined in the contract.
