Exceeding Contract Validity

The contract line is not linked to the sales order line or sales schedule. On the contract line, you can define tolerances by which the expiry date or maximum quantity can be exceeded before the contract is skipped.

The contract line is linked to the sales order line or sales schedule regardless of exceeding the contract validity.

When the sales order line is created, LN asks you whether you want to link the contract line to the sales order line. For sales schedules, this option is not applicable and functions as the Skip Contract option without using tolerances.
