Purchase contracts in a multicompany structureIn a multicompany structure, you can specify central contracts and corporate purchase contracts. Central contracts Central contracts can be used by various purchase offices from different logistic companies. Central contracts include these features:
Note Before you can use central contracts, the companies must share the contract tables by means of logical table linking or by replication. If you share the contract lines table, the Use Corporate Purchase Contracts check box in the Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300) session must have the same value for all companies. For more information, refer to:
Corporate purchase contracts Corporate purchase contracts can be used to centrally specify price agreements (by purchase contract line) and to decentrally specify logistic agreements (by purchase contract line detail). Corporate purchase contracts allow you to make keen price agreements on a corporate level and to use these prices on local level. You can use corporate purchase contracts only for push schedules. Note Corporate purchase contracts are not specified on contract header level, but on line level. Therefore, a purchase contract can include both lines of the Total type and lines of the Contract Line type. Total lines have linked contract line details, which can apply only to corporate purchase contracts. Contract lines apply to regular purchase contracts.
