Contract Workflow
|
|
|
Contract accounting is a critically important area for companies. With "1C: Document Management 8", it is possible to simplify this process. The main stages of contract management in the system include:
- Initial preparation of the contract
- Internal or external approval
- Signing by the counterparty and return
- Contract entry into force
- Contract execution
- Monitoring of contract documents
- Expiration or termination of the contract
Thanks to automatic notifications, the responsible person is informed if the counterparty delays signing. In addition, when a contract is nearing its expiration date, the system sends a warning. This helps plan next steps and ensures timely contract renewal.

Business Process Automation
|
 |
Accounting of Incoming and Outgoing Documents
|
 |
|
The system is not intended solely for document storage. It also enables the automation of frequently encountered business processes, including:
- Preparation and organization of documents
- Document review
- Approval and signing processes
- Tracking execution deadlines
- Assignment of related tasks
As a result of this functionality, collaboration among company employees is strengthened. Everyone clearly knows what needs to be done, at which stage execution should begin, and by when tasks must be completed. The execution process becomes fully transparent.
|
All documents sent to or from the company are strategically and technically important. Sometimes these documents form the key link in relationships with suppliers and customers. The system provides the following capabilities:
- Easily view incoming and outgoing documents in records
- Group documents by recipient and sender address
- Narrow results using fast filters
- Print documents or share them via email when necessary
Managers or responsible persons can regularly review this list and track expected deadlines. When there are limited time frames for execution, the system sends reminders. This is essential for timely responses and completion of formal procedures.

Automatic Templates and Auto-Filling
|
When working with different types of documents (contracts, acts, invoices, etc.), repeatedly entering the same details can lead to time loss. With "1C: Document Management 8", it is possible to automatically fill forms using templates. These templates may include the following fields:
- Document title
- Number
- Contract date
- Summary of the contract subject
- Contract end date
Bu üsulla, işçilər sənədləri sürətlə yaradır. Düzgün strukturlu
Using this method, employees can create documents quickly. Properly structured templates minimize the risk of data distortion or incorrect entry. Thanks to internal configuration, it is possible to use various formats, such as MS Word or OpenOffice files. According to system rules, fields are filled using a constructor, allowing the system to automatically populate template fields based on the relevant attributes.

Project Management and Tasks
|
 |
Execution Control and Document Status
|
 |
|
Companies are not limited to document management alone. There are also projects and multi-stage tasks that require more complex organization. The project planning tool of "1C: Document Management 8" helps address this need. Projects may include the following components:
- Tasks representing each stage
- Task execution dates
- Responsible persons
- Registration and tracking of resources
The project plan can be visualized using a Gantt chart. This allows easy tracking of when each task starts and how it relates to other tasks. Timely completion of tasks directly affects the overall success of the project.
|
Within the system, document statuses reflect their current stage. For example, statuses may include:
- Approval: (Under approval, Approved, Not approved)
- Confirmation: (Under confirmation, Confirmed, Not confirmed)
- Review: (Under review, Reviewed)
- Registration: (Draft, In registration, Registered, Not registered)
- Execution: (In progress, Completed)
Automatic processes cause documents to transition between statuses. For example, when the approval process starts, the document moves to the "Under approval" status. At completion, it receives the "Approved" status. This mechanism eliminates unnecessary confusion and clearly shows who is responsible for which task at any given moment.
|
Electronic Signature and Encryption
|
|
|
In the digital environment, information security is always a top priority. Companies want to protect their documents and safeguard confidential information from leaks. For this purpose, "1C: Document Management 8" supports the following types of electronic signatures:
- Simple electronic signature
- Enhanced non-qualified electronic signature
- Enhanced qualified electronic signature
For users of electronic signatures, document integrity and authorship are critical. Enhanced and qualified signatures are also used for file encryption. For this purpose, programs such as MSECP, KryptoPro, and ViPNet can be integrated. All these measures allow companies to both sign electronic documents and protect confidential information.
|
Reports and Analytics
|
 |
Document Scanning and Barcoding
|
 |
|
The platform includes various reporting tools that show the status and trends of document circulation within the company over a given period. For example:
- A list showing how many new contracts the company has concluded
- Reminders for responsible persons about contracts approaching expiration
- An analytical dashboard that helps analyze reasons for decreases or increases in document volume during unusual periods
These reports are used for making strategic decisions. Supervisors and managers can identify gaps in workflows, determine which documents are frequently delayed, and see which departments take longer to complete tasks. Based on this analysis, procedures can be improved.
|
"1C: Document Management 8" also simplifies the process of adding physical documents to the electronic database. Digital copies can be uploaded in several ways:
- Manual scanning
- Bulk or automated scanning
- Barcode recognition
Using barcodes enables faster document identification. For example, a specialist scans a barcode attached to a document, and the platform automatically locates that document. This method is both efficient and minimizes the risk of errors. The platform also allows multiple pages of documents to be combined into a single PDF or TIFF file.
|
Archive Storage and Search
 |
|
Over time, some documents are transferred to the archive. However, they are not completely deleted and remain in the system for informational purposes. During archiving:
- The system automatically moves the document to the archive
- An archive list is created
- Archived documents can be searched when needed
Archiving regulates long-term document storage periods. After a certain period, decisions may be made to destroy paper copies or take additional actions. However, in the "1C: Document Management 8" database, this information remains available for search.
