Sales Contract Delivery Lines (tdsls3104m000)

Use this session to view, enter, and maintain the scheduled deliveries for a sales contract line. The total of all sales contract delivery lines is also referred to as the delivery scheme for the sales contract line.

A delivery scheme is a list of time-phased deliveries based on a sales contract. To specify the time-phased deliveries, you need sales contract delivery lines that are converted to sales orders. A delivery scheme is a simplified schedule to generate sales orders in time.

Note

You cannot enter, maintain, or delete sales contract delivery lines if the contract line has the Active status.

On the appropriate menu you can choose:

  • Check Delivery Scheme to check the entered delivery scheme.

    LN checks whether:

    • The entered planned delivery dates fall within the effectivity period of the contract line. If not, LN asks you whether you want to change the contract line's effectivity period.
    • The total entered quantity is less than the Agreed Quantity. If not, LN asks you whether you want to update the agreed quantity with the total quantity that is entered for the delivery scheme.
  • Generate Sales Order, to directly generate a sales order (line) from a selected sales contract delivery line, or to start the Generate Sales Orders from Delivery Schemes (tdsls3204m000) session in which you can generate sales order (lines) for a range of sales contract delivery lines.
  • Sales Order, to start the Sales Order - Lines (tdsls4100m900) session in which you can view and maintain the sales order (line) that is generated for the sales contract delivery line.

 

Contract

Sales contracts are used to register agreements about the delivery of goods with a sold-to business partner .

A contract is comprised of the following:

  • A sales contract header with general business partner data, and optionally, a linked terms and conditions agreement.
  • One or more sales contract lines with price/discount agreements and quantity information that apply to an item or price group.
Line

The position number of the sales contract line.

Sales Office

Item

The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)
Effective Date

The first day on which a record or a setting is valid. The effective date often includes the effective time.

Expiry Date

The last day on which a record is valid. If you do not specify an expiry time, the validity expires at the end of the expiry date, at 24:00 hours.

Agreed Quantity

The quantity that must be delivered according to the contract agreements. The contract quantity must always be greater than zero.

Note

If you check the delivery scheme and the total quantity of the delivery scheme exceeds the contract line's agreed quantity, LN asks you whether you want to update the agreed quantity with the total quantity that is entered for the delivery scheme.

Agreed Quantity

The quantity that must be delivered according to the contract agreements. The contract quantity must always be greater than zero.

Inventory Unit

The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.

The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.
