Parties
Clear identification of all contracting entities with legal names, addresses, and tax identifiers to ensure correct billing and enforceability.
A properly completed Business Services SGMAPP reduces ambiguity about scope and payment, provides a durable record for audits, and documents signer intent and consent for enforceability under U.S. e‑signature laws.
Teams that prepare or approve the Business Services SGMAPP vary by organization and by stage of the procurement lifecycle.
Assign roles early so each field is completed by the party who has the required authority and information.
| Field | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Email plus optional SMS code or KBA |
| Routing Order | Sequential or parallel signer order |
