Contract

Purchase contracts are used to register specific agreements with a buy-from business partner that concern the delivery of specific goods.

A contract is comprised of:

  • A purchase contract header with general business partner data, and optionally, a linked terms and conditions agreement.
  • One or more purchase contract lines with (central) price agreements, logistic agreements, and quantity information that apply to an item or price group.
  • Purchase contract line details with logistic agreements and quantity information that apply to an item or price group for a specific location (warehouse) of a multicompany corporation. Contract line details can exist only for corporate purchase contracts.

If this check box is selected, if a collective discount is distributed among a group of lines, the current contract line is included while distributing the collective discount over the lines.

Cumulative Price Break

If this check box is selected, the price and discounts from the price book and discount schedules are retrieved based on the contract line's total received quantity.

The purchase price/discount that is retrieved from the purchase contract price book/discount schedule at order/schedule line entry or modification, is based on the following calculation:

  • Purchase orders
    Contract called quantity + purchase order line quantity (converted to the unit of the contract line's agreed quantity)
  • Purchase schedules
    Required cumulative+ schedule line quantity. The required CUM does not include requirements with a planned receipt date that is later than the schedule line's planned receipt date.

If the Redetermine Price and Discounts at Receipt check box is selected in the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session, purchase schedule line prices and/or discounts are recalculated during receipt. Therefore, when confirming the receipt (pay-on-receipt) or consuming the receipt (pay-on-use), recalculation is based on the following formula:

Previous received cumulative + actual receipt quantity
Note

You can select this check box only if you have specified a Price Book or Discount Schedule in this session.

If the purchase contract is a corporate purchase contract, a schedule line’s price is calculated based on the aggregated CUM values of all schedules that share this contract Total line.

Example

The purchase contract price book that is specified on the purchase contract price revision is defined as follows:

Break (maximum)Qty UnitPrice
10pieces30
20pieces20
