What you should know before starting:

Milestones: action, document or document packages that define the stages in each procurement process of a project, depending on the procurement method. Document Packages: set of documents (mandatory or non-mandatory) that correspond to a milestone. Procurement Method: refers to the method by which goods, works, consulting services and non-consulting services are contracted. The methods described in the business rules are based on the IDB Procurement Policies GN-2349-15 and GN-2350-15. Mandatory: refers to the key documents that must be attached in order for the system to enable the "complete" or "request non-objection" actions (applicable in accordance with IDB Procurement Policies). The Executing Agency, through the designated users, will be responsible for uploading the documents in the Procurement Management module of the IDB Client Portal.
