During its creation, what state is the contract compliance request (CR) in?

The contract compliance request is initially in the "Composing" state during its creation. This state indicates that the request is still being worked on and has not yet undergone the review or approval process. The "Composing" state allows users to enter the necessary details and specifications regarding contract compliance before it is finalized and submitted for approvals. This phase is crucial as it gives stakeholders the opportunity to make adjustments and ensure that all relevant information is accurate and complete prior to moving forward in the procurement process.

Once the contract compliance request is fully composed, it can then transition to subsequent states such as "Pending," where it awaits approval, but initially, it must be in the "Composing" state to allow for input and editing.
