Vendor documents

Vendor documents can be of type deliverable and non-deliverable.
All received files will be registered in logicDCMS.
In case these files can be properly identified they will appear in the lifecycle overviews.
The best solution to be able to identify the received files is to request the vendor to provide a VDL ( Vendor Document List ) at the beginning of the project.
The VDL describes all documents which will be provided. These documents must be identified by a document number. This might be the vendor document number, an internal document number or even the client document number.
Also a clear title for each document is required and finally the delivery date of each document.

Complete independant lifecycles for vendor documents can be used, but also a 'long' lifecycle including exchange with the client is available
In case documents are not identified by any agreed document number, they still can be imported in the system, but they will only be visible in the transmittal and transactions overviews and will not have a status.
