Sales contracts - additional processes

You can activate or deactivate a range of sales contracts in the Activate/Deactivate Contracts (tdsls3205m000) session.

You can copy sales contracts in the Copy Sales Contracts (tdsls3801m000) session.

You can verify whether the agreed quantities are met at the end of a contract's effective period using the Evaluate Sales Contracts (tdsls3420m000) session. You can also monitor, by extrapolating, the contract's progress during the effective period. A report is printed that contains the deviations. An evaluation for the complete contract can be executed by not printing the separate contract lines. Small deviations are tolerated and are not printed.

You can print contract acknowledgements to send to the sold-to business partner in the Print Sales Contract Acknowledgements (tdsls3405m000) session.

If the Material Pricing in Sales check box is selected in the Material Price Parameters (tcmpr0100m000) session and the material pricing master data is specified, LN can retrieve material price information and calculate material prices for a sales contract line.

You can use the retrobilling functionality to re-invoice previously shipped items for sales orders and schedules after a price change is made to a sales contract because of price renegotiations.

If certain sold-to business partners do not meet their commitments as stated in the contract, you can print and send out reminders in the Print Sales Contract Reminders (tdsls3406m000) session to prevent a breach of contract. LN prints reminders for contracts that exceed the allowed Negative Deviation.

You can terminate or delete sales contracts that are no longer valid, or that have ended early in the Archive and Delete / Terminate Sales Contracts (tdsls3203m000) session.
