**Contract document**

</td><td>

In the **Document type** list, select the contract type that is relevant to the attached document.

</td></tr><tr><td id="d595561e287">

**Supporting document**

5.  In Employee Center, select **Save as Draft** to save the request and submit it later.

    **Note:** If the contract type is deactivated when the request is saved as draft, the inactive contract type is not included in the list displayed in the **Document type** field. You must select an active contract type before submitting the request.

6.  Select **Submit**.


## Result

-   A legal request for reviewing the attached third-party contracts and any supporting documents is created in the New state.
-   The contract documents and supporting documents are available in the respective tabs, and the contract status is New.
-   For a custom record producer, if no documents are attached, the legal request is created in the Draft state. You must upload the documents and resubmit the contract request.
