Creating manufacturer contracts

Manufacturer contracts are used to initiate the contract process and can be associated with a manufacturer or a distributor of goods and services.

When associated with a manufacturer, this type of contract sets the price for goods and services bought from the manufacturer. When associated with a distributor, the manufacturer price serves as the starting price that the distributor honors before applying a pricing identifier (markup or discount).
