Setting up a delivery contract

When you specify a contract and you know the time-phased delivery details, you can create a delivery contract instead of a purchase schedule. A delivery contract is not a real schedule, but a schedule solution to generate purchase orders on time.

To set up a delivery contract:

  1. Create a purchase contract in the Purchase Contracts (tdpur3100m000) session.

  2. Create a purchase contract line in the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session, with:

    • The Apply Contract for All Items in Price Group check box cleared.
    • The Purchase Schedule in use check box cleared.
    • The Delivery Contract Available check box selected.
  3. From the appropriate menu in Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session, select Delivery Contract. The Delivery Contract (tdpur3104m000) session starts.
  4. Specify the delivery dates and the quantities to be delivered on the specified dates in the Delivery Contract (tdpur3104m000) session.
  5. From the appropriate menu in the Delivery Contract (tdpur3104m000) session, select Generate Purchase Orders to generate purchase orders for the planned deliveries in the Generate Purchase Orders (tdpur3204m000) session. You can generate purchase orders for the planned deliveries only if the status of the purchase contract and the purchase contract line are Active.
