• Keep the record in the legal or contract management departments

This is generic, not specific to a project and include the default terms that can be overridden at the SOW level.

2. Statement of Work (SOW)

This is more project specific and include the deliverables and times.

The financial terms, including the monthly pay rates, are included in SOW.

For maintenance work, the SOW may be renewed periodically.

3. Non-disclosure Agreement (NDA )

4. Purchasing Order (PO)

The MSA and SOW are the attachment for getting PO approved.

The PO will also need to be approved by Financial department against budget items.

5. Time Sheets and Work Verifications

6. Invoices
