to the agreed contract quantity. The Remaining % calculation: 100 - ((100 * (called quantity + invoiced quantity)) / agreed quantity) Customer Item The item code in the coding system. LN converts this item
code to the item code used in your own company. This conversion allows you to,
for instance, use the buy-from business partner's or sold-to business partner's

this formula, is the total of the level of discounts entered in the Line Discounts (tdpcg0200m200) session. Total Amount The net contract line amount, which is calculated based on the

applying total contract discount to contracts. Eligible If this check box is selected, the calculated discount
percentage is applied to the selected contract line. Calculate Price with Cumulative If this check box is selected, LN retrieves the price
and discounts from the price book and discount schedules, based on the total
cumulative quantities of the linked sales orders and sales schedules. The sales price/discount that is retrieved
from the sales contract price book/discount schedule, is based on the following
calculation:
Contract called quantity + Sales order/schedule line quantity (converted to the unit of
the contract line's agreed quantity) Note This functionality only applies if a price
book/discount schedule is linked to the contract. Example The sales contract price book that is
entered on the sales contract line is defined as follows: Break (maximum) | Qty Unit | Price |
---|
10 | pieces | 30 | 20 | pieces | 20 | 30 | pieces | 10 |
The following sales order lines are
created: Order line | Order quantity | Contract called quantity (before order line is saved) | Quantity for price determination | Price (from price book) |
---|
1 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 30 | 2 | 10 | 5 | 5 + 10 | 20 | 3 | 10 | 15 | 15 + 10 | 10 |
Redetermine Price and Discounts at Shipment If this check box is selected, and a sales schedule is
linked to this contract line, sales schedule line prices and/or discounts are
recalculated during shipment. Therefore, the delivered amount of the shipped
goods reflects the actual contract price information. When prices and discounts are redetermined, depends on the
value of the sales schedule line's Payment field. Pay on Receipt Prices and discounts are recalculated when a shipment is
made for a sales schedule planned warehouse order line. Price and discount redetermination is based on the
delivered quantity, inventory unit, and actual delivery date. Pay on Use Prices and discounts are recalculated when a consumption is
processed for a sales schedule planned warehouse order line. Price and discount
redetermination is based on the consumed quantity, inventory unit, and
consumption date.
If this check box is cleared, and a sales schedule is
linked to this contract line, the price and discounts cannot be redetermined
after the sales schedule is approved and planned warehouse orders are
created. Note - You can only select this check box if the Use Contracts for Schedules check box is selected in the Sales Schedule Parameters (tdsls0100s500) session.
- To view the recalculated price and discount for the shipped
goods, on the appropriate menu of the Sales Schedule Actual Delivery Lines (tdsls3140m100) and Sales Schedule Invoice Lines (tdsls3140m200) sessions, click Price and Discounts, which starts the Price and Discounts (tdpcg1600m000) session.
Maximum Quantity The maximum contract quantity that you want to sell, expressed in the sales unit. The quantity sold to the business partner often differs from the contract quantity. Therefore, you can record the maximum
quantity to be sold in the contract. Use the Evaluate Sales Contracts (tdsls3420m000) session to calculate the difference between
called quantities and the maximum contract quantity. Note When the maximum quantity is reached, in
the Action on Exceeding Maximum Quantity field of the
current session, you can define what action is taken. Action on Exceeding Maximum Quantity You can select the action that is carried out when the maximum contract quantity is exceeded. Note - If the Use Contracts for Schedules check box is selected in the Sales Schedule Parameters (tdsls0100s500) session, when linking a contract line to a
sales schedule, LN checks whether the called quantity on the contract line does not exceed the
maximum contract quantity. If schedule lines are added, this check is also
executed.
- If the Use Contracts for Schedules check box is cleared,
when linking a contract line to a sales schedule line, LN checks whether the
schedule line's ordered quantity does not exceed the maximum quantity on the
contract line.
- When linking a contract line to a sales order line, LN checks whether the
called quantity on the contract line does not exceed the maximum contract
quantity.
Default value This field is defaulted from the Action on Exceeding Maximum Quantity field in the Sales Contract Parameters (tdsls0100s300) session. Maximum Quantity Tolerance The quantity, expressed in the sales unit, by which the maximum contract quantity can be exceeded before sales orders and schedules can
no longer be linked to the contract line. If quantities fall within this
tolerance margin, you are notified about the expiration of the contract line. Note You can only fill this field if the Action on Exceeding Maximum Quantity is set to Skip Contract. The quantity, expressed in the inventory unit, with which the maximum contract quantity can be exceeded before sales orders and schedules can
no longer be linked to the contract line. If a maximum quantity tolerance is
applicable, you are notified about the expiration of the contract line. Note You can only fill this field if the Action on Exceeding Maximum Quantity is set to Skip Contract. Evaluation [y/n/repeat] Specify if the contract must be (re)evaluated. Quantity Binding This field indicates whether the agreed contract quantity is
binding. If this check box is selected, the Evaluate Sales Contracts (tdsls3420m000) session prints all differences between: - The called quantity and the maximum contract quantity.
- The called quantity and the minimum contract quantity.
If this check box is cleared, the Evaluate Sales Contracts (tdsls3420m000) session only prints the differences if the
minimum contract quantity or the maximum contract quantity are exceeded. The
upper and lower limits of this range are percentages of the agreed quantity. Minimum Order Quantity The minimum order quantity, expressed in the inventory unit. This field is used for informational purposes only. Default value The Minimum Order Quantity specified in the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session. If this quantity is zero, or
if no combination exists for the item and sold-to business partner in the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session, the default order quantity
is retrieved from the Items - Sales (tdisa0501m000) session. Called Amount The total of the called amounts for all the sales order/schedule lines that are linked to the
contract line. You can calculate the possible final amount
on the expiry date by extrapolating data based on the called amount, the effective date and
the expiry date. LN raises
the called amount when a sales order/schedule line is linked to a contract
line. LN updates this (cumulative) amount: - During the input of sales order lines when a sales order is
linked to a contract.
- During the approval of a schedule line when a sales
schedule is linked to a contract.
Invoiced Amount The total of the invoiced amounts on sales order/schedule lines
that are linked to a sales contract. Note - You can calculate the possible invoiced amount on the
expiry date by extrapolating data, based on the invoiced amount, the effective
