Evaluate Sales Contracts (tdsls3420m000)

Use this session to check whether or not the agreed quantities have been met, or are being met. Evaluating sales contracts occurs at the end of, or during the contract's effective period (in the latter case by means of extrapolation).

Note: 
  • You can select a range of contracts or select specific contracts to be evaluated. To evaluate specific contracts, click Spec Selection.... This starts the Enter Specific Sales Contract Numbers (tdsls3820s000) session, in which you can select up to ten contracts to be evaluated.
  • If you want to evaluate another selection of contracts, click Reset Selection. LN removes the selection you made in the Enter Specific Sales Contract Numbers (tdsls3820s000) session. To make a new selection, click Spec Selection....

Field Information

Contract Type

You can select the contracts to be evaluated by contract type.

Negative Deviation

The negative deviation is the percentage by which the called quantity can be less than the agreed contract quantity.

If the deviation is greater than the percentage entered in this field, the contract line is printed.

The negative deviation is calculated as follows:

((Called Quantity - Agreed Quantity * Elapsed Time Factor) ÷ Agreed	Quantity) * 100% 

Example

Agreed Quantity 100
Called + Invoiced Quantity 40
Duration of Contract 10 days
Elapsed Time 6 days
Negative Deviation = (40 - 100 * 6 ÷ 10) ÷ 100 = 20%
Positive Deviation

The positive deviation is the percentage by which the called quantity can exceed the agreed contract quantity.

If the deviation is greater than the percentage entered in this field, the contract line is printed.

The positive deviation is calculated as follows:

((Called Quantity - Agreed Quantity * Elapsed Time Factor) ÷ Agreed	Quantity) * 100% 

Example

Agreed Quantity 100
Called + Invoiced Quantity 80
Duration of Contract 10 days
Elapsed Time 6 days
Positive Deviation = (80 - 100 * 6 ÷ 10) ÷ 100 = 20%
Minimum Time Required for Evaluation

You can further restrict the range of contracts by evaluating only those contracts of which part of the duration (to be indicated by the user) has elapsed.

For instance, by typing 60% into this field, you print the contracts for which more than 60% of the duration has elapsed.

You are advised to use accurate values, otherwise extrapolating will give unsatisfactory results.

Print Contract Lines

If this check box is selected, all sales contract lines are printed.

If this check box is cleared, the sales contract lines are totalized by contract.

Print Only Selected Contracts

If this check box is selected, the contract lines of which the called quantity is too high or too low, are printed.

If this check box is cleared, the contract lines of which the called quantity is too high or too low are printed in bold. This clearly distinguishes them from the other lines.

Note: Deviations are always printed for contracts for which the agreed quantity is recorded as binding in the Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3501m000) session.

This means that the contract lines are printed if:

  • The called quantity is less than the minimum quantity.
  • The called quantity is greater than the maximum quantity.
