hi,
below is the path to assign the lowr level contracts to master contracts
step1: IMG--Sales and distribution salessales documentscontractsmaster contracts---define referencing requirements
1.define reference sales document type: here lower level contracts are assigned to master contracts
2.define referencing procedures: here filelds are categorized into 3 parts
1.Identical fields: a master contract can only be referenced by a contract if the fields in the master contract and low level contracts matches
2.Copy fields: the values of these fields are copied from master contract into lower level contract .deviating values in the lower level contracts are not allowed
3. proposal fields: like copying fields are be over written
choose the standard reference procedure SDGK and copy it and rename it (ZSDK)
Select our procedure
click on fields control button under dialog structure
go to new entries and maintain entries in the table like below
table   field name        partner function      copy rule   message
VBAK          AUGRU                                            C                      
VBKD          INC01                                               B                              
VBPA          KUNNR                    SP                    A
VEDA          VLAUFZ                                            A
copying rule: A-check for agreement
                   B-always copy
                   C-copy only if AGree
SAve it and exit
Step2: go to transaction code VOV8 of GK
sd document category=0
screen sequence group=GK(Master contract)
transaction group=4
document pricing procedure=V
contract profile=001
group referencing procedure-ZDSK
contract data allowed=X
Check update low level contract
SAve it
Step 3: go to transaction code VA41
Specify document type=gk
specify the sold to party number
specify the description
specify contract start date=01
specify the end date=10
save it and note down the master contract number
Again go to VA41 and raise quantity contract
specify description
specify contract start date and end date (like master contract validity periods)
and assign Master contract number that was created in the previous step
Save it and exit
Go it VA41 of the master contract and check qty contract has been assigned or not
