2. Entity summary
Name
data_object
Description
Contract Amendments
contract_amendments
Formal changes to the terms of an executed contract, each tracked with its own approval and signature trail.
Contract Counterparties
contract_counterparties
External parties to a contract, held separately because a counterparty may not be a CRM account or supplier and may sign many contracts.
Contracts
legal_contracts
Contracts with counterparties or suppliers, covering type, value, key dates, governing law, and lifecycle from draft to terminated.
Data Protection Addenda
data_protection_addenda
Data processing addenda attached to contracts that govern how personal data is handled, each with its own approval and renewal cycle.
Signature Records
signature_records
E-signature envelopes with signing audit trail, IP addresses, provider references, and the signed document, one contract may have many.
Org Units
org_units
Nodes in the organizational hierarchy such as divisions, departments, and teams, with manager, cost center alignment, geographic scope, and parent-child links.
Envelopes
envelopes
E-signature transactions wrapping one or more signature requests against a document, tracked from created through completed, declined, or voided.
New org unit drives IGA group/role provisioning. Group-name conventions and ownership must be encoded; otherwise orphan groups proliferate.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS
IGA
IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST
org_unit.disbanded

Org-unit disbandment requires IGA group cleanup; orphan-group risk if employees re-assigned slowly.

org_unit.merged

Org-unit merge consolidates IGA groups: members migrate, entitlements deduplicated, SoD revalidated. Often runs as a batch project rather than event.
