Sales contracts - additional processes
A number of processes do not always occur in the sales contract procedure, but can be used depending on specific situations.
Activating/deactivating sales contracts
You can activate or deactivate a range of sales contracts in the Activate/Deactivate Contracts (tdsls3205m000) session.
Copying sales contracts
You can copy sales contracts in the Copy Sales Contracts (tdsls3801m000) session.
Evaluating sales contracts
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.
Printing contract acknowledgements
You can print contract acknowledgements to send to the sold-to business partner in the Print Sales Contract Acknowledgements (tdsls3405m000) session.
Retrieving material prices
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.
Retrobilling
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.
Sending reminders
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.
Terminating and deleting sales contracts
You can terminate or delete sales contracts that are no longer valid, or that have ended early in the Archive/Delete/Terminate Sales Contracts (tdsls3203m000) session.
