Savings - Contract Compliance
The Contract Compliance module presents analysis information comparing the contracted rates to the actual billing rates for a given month. In order to have an effective audit each month, we need to have your vendor contracts uploaded in the platform and billing elements mapped to the contracted rates via the Contracts module; the savings output of that is captured in the Contract Compliance tool.
This module will also show suggested recommendations, which are defined in the Add/Modify Recommendations tool. The Asignet team created pre-defined rules to capture billing activity scenarios and provide next steps that can reduce cost. When a billing item appears on an invoice and belongs to a pre-defined rule, it will show under the Recommendation column.
Lastly, this module will reflect valid and tracked disputes per vendor so you can see what was captured in the Savings Dashboard. You will see these entries under the Dispute columns.
