Negotiation Phase

The Negotiation Phase is the fourth phase in a workflow, in which the Reviewers and Approvers review the main agreement, negotiate agreement terms with external and internal parties, and approve the agreement.

Once the Negotiation Phase is completed, the workflow moves to the next phase. In most workflows, the Signature Phase follows the Negotiation Phase.
