Salesforce directly documents Action Plans on Accounts as the mechanism for standardizing grantmaking due-diligence processes. An Action Plan Template acts as a reusable blueprint that defines the activities reviewers must complete consistently for each grantseeking organization.

Salesforce's Grants Management documentation explicitly states that organizations can use Action Plans on Accounts to define due diligence steps, related tasks, and documents to collect . Tasks can represent actions such as requesting tax documentation, verifying organizational eligibility, or completing financial reviews. Document Checklist Items identify supporting documents that must be obtained and reviewed.

This architecture directly addresses the problem in the scenario: reviewers currently follow different processes. A published Action Plan Template converts an informal procedure into a repeatable Salesforce-controlled workflow, improving consistency, traceability, accountability, and reviewer productivity.

A Screen Flow or OmniScript could technically guide a user through steps, but both would duplicate functionality already supplied by Action Plans. Merely supplying procedural documentation also provides no technical enforcement, assignment, due-date management, or document checklist tracking.

Therefore, Action Plans represent the product-native and lowest-customization implementation.
