Link to PCS Module If this check box is selected, LN checks if a sales contract for a standard item applies to a sales order that you create for a customized item. Note You cannot create sales contracts for customized items. However you can link a sales order for a customized item to a sales contract, if the customized item is derived from a standard item. In this case, the contract of the standard item applies to the order for the customized item. Several Special Contracts Allowed by Sales Order If this check box is selected, and several special contracts are effective for a sales order, the contract with the most suitable prices and discounts can be selected. You can have two different situations in this field: Situation 1: The Contract field in the Sales Orders (tdsls4100m000) session is empty. If this check box is selected, the Selected Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3512s000) session is automatically started when you create a sales order line. This session lists the most suitable normal contract and all special contract lines that you can select for the created sales order line. The price and discount information of the linked contract line are defaulted to the sales order line. I If this check box is cleared, the Selected Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3512s000) session is not started when you create a sales order line. LN determines the default price and discount of the sales order line by first searching for a special contract for the item or the price group and then for a normal contract. Once the contract is found, it is automatically linked to the order line. Situation 2: The Contract field in the Sales Orders (tdsls4100m000) session is filled. If this check box is selected, and if only one valid special contract exists for the entered sales order line, LN defaults the price and discount of the special contract to the sales order line. As a result, the Selected Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3512s000) session is not started. If this check box is selected, and if several special contracts are available for the order line, the Selected Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3512s000) session is started when you create an order line. You can select another (special) contract from this session. The price and discount information of the selected contract line is defaulted to the sales order line. If this check box is cleared, the Selected Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3512s000) session is not started. The price and discount of the linked contract are used. Note If no contract is linked, or no price and discount can be found, LN continues searching for prices and discounts elsewhere. Always Use Contract Price and Discount This parameter determines if you can change prices and discounts if an order-contract relation exists. If this check box is selected, you cannot change any price and discounts fields in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session or linked material price information in the Material Price Information (tcmpr1600m000) session. The price and discount fields are disabled in these sessions. Note: If the contract does not include discounts, the discounts fields are still enabled in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) and Material Price Information (tcmpr1600m000) sessions. You can change prices and discounts in the Change Prices and Discounts after Delivery (tdsls4122m000) and Change Prices and Discounts of Sales Invoice Lines (tdsls4132m000) sessions, and linked material price information in the Material Price Information (tcmpr1600m000), but only if you break the link with the contract (for which a message is displayed in these sessions). If this check box is cleared, you can change price and discounts fields in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session and linked material price information in the Material Price Information (tcmpr1600m000) session. The link with the contract is kept. Allow Zero Price If this check box is selected, you can enter a price of zero (0) on a sales contract line. Log Turnover on Contract If this check box is selected, each contract line's called quantity, invoiced quantity, and invoiced amount are displayed in the following sessions:
Update Planned Inventory Transactions This parameter applies to sales contract lines with delivery lines linked to it. If this check box is selected, planned inventory transactions are logged when the contract line is activated. If this check box is cleared, no planned inventory transactions are logged for the contract with delivery lines linked to it. Note Contra posting of planned inventory transactions is carried out if called quantities are logged for the contract line. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Planned inventory transactions for sales contracts. Log Financial Economic Transactions If this check box is selected, financial transactions are logged when the contract line is activated. If this check box is cleared, no financial transactions are logged for the sales contract. Note Contra posting of financial transactions is carried out if called quantities are logged for the contract line. Important! If you want financial data to be reconciled, you must set the Log Contract Line Transactions field to All Transactions and select the Log Turnover on Contract and Log Financial Economic Transactions check boxes. Otherwise reconciliation cannot be applied. LN performs reconciliation based on the sales contract line history in the Sales Contract Line History by Contract (tdsls3531s000) session. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Financial economic transactions. Print Contract Acknowledgement If this check box is selected, the Contract Acknowledgement field of the Sales Contracts (tdsls3500m000) session has Print as the default value.

Note You do not need to print a contract acknowledgment in the sales contract procedure. Reprint Contract Acknowl. after Modification This check box determines the value of the Print Status field in the Sales Contracts (tdsls3500m000) session if you modify a contract after it is printed as a final acknowledgement. If this check box is selected, and you modify the contract after the final contract acknowledgement is printed in the Print Sales Contract Acknowledgements (tdsls3405m000) session, LN automatically sets the Print Status field in the Sales Contracts (tdsls3500m000) session to Changed. As a result, you can reprint the contract acknowledgement.

Copy Normal Contract to Special Contract If this check box is selected, you are allowed to copy normal contracts to special contracts in the Copy Sales Contracts (tdsls3801m000) session. Note If you copy normal contracts to special contracts, you can receive error messages because normal contracts and special contracts can have different price policies. Link First Special Contract Automatically If this check box is selected, and LN cannot ask you whether you want to link a special contract to the sales order, for example when orders are generated automatically, the sales order is linked to the first special contract it can find. If this check box is cleared, and LN cannot ask you whether you want to link a special contract to the sales order, the sales order is not linked to a special contract, but the prices are retrieved from the price structure.
