Evaluating purchase contractsIf a purchase contract is used for a purchase order or a purchase schedule, you can evaluate the purchase contract during and after the purchase order or schedule procedure. During the contract's effectivity period, you can check if the deliveries take place as agreed in the contract. At the end of the contract's effectivity period, you can check if the agreed quantities were met. Evaluating purchase contracts is mandatory if the Evaluate Contract before Deleting check box is selected in the Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300) session. To evaluate contracts in the Evaluate Purchase Contracts (tdpur3420m000) session:
How a contract line is evaluated depends on the value of the Quantity Binding check box in the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session. This check box determines whether the Agreed Quantity that you agreed upon with your purchase business partner is a mandatory quantity to purchase. If the Quantity Binding check box is selected in the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session, the Evaluate Purchase Contracts (tdpur3420m000) session prints the differences between:
If the Quantity Binding check box is cleared in the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session, the Evaluate Purchase Contracts (tdpur3420m000) session prints the lines that exceed the boundaries that you specified in the Evaluate Purchase Contracts (tdpur3420m000) session. You can accept small negative or positive deviations regarding the quantities. The deviations are calculated as follows in the Evaluate Purchase Contracts (tdpur3420m000) session: (Called Quantity + Invoiced Quantity - (Agreed Quantity * Elapsed Time Factor)) ÷ Agreed Quantity * 100% Note
Example
Negative Deviation = 40 - (100 * 6/10) ÷ 100 = -20% If this percentage is greater than the allowed percentage, the contract line is printed.
