Contract and Order

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me in brief about a contract and order.
Thanks in Advance, Sudeep..

Contract is some thing that customer ties with a company for certain period , for example in car maintainance , if the car is out warranty then customer can be offered an annual maintainance contract for 1 yr or 2 yrs n certain amount.
Order is some thing specific to a particular probelm , once the service is done that order is closed , ther wont be any significance of it once it is closed , unless for accunting purpose.
In CRM , Order and Contract are 2 differant business activities with differant business object types
i guess bus20000116 is for order and BUS2000115 IS for contract .
Again the cnfiguration and order types can be done indivdually at SPRO level ...
Hope u have got an idea on the differance.
If u have any specific question pls revert back.

High level contract and orders created with reference

Dear All,
The client is an integrated flat steel manufacturer. They have entered into quantity contract with high level products like for example Hot rolled coils + Cold rolled coils + Heat Treated plates 5000 T per month. There is no clear cut quantity breakup of each product. On monthly basis customer releases purchase orders with exact grade and dimensions. The requirement is to capture contact for 5000T and create orders with reference to the contract with necessary completion rule. Since exact break up of the high level products is not known controlling of order quantity to 5000T will involve lot of manual intervention. I was thinking in the contract we have high level material "X with 5000T and orders created with reference with actual materials like Hot rolled coils, Cold rolled coils and exact dimension/grade mentioned. Is this possible to have different materials in contract and order with enhancement?
Any other idea of fulfilling the requirements is welcome.
Thanks,

Hi Ramesh,
Go through EKPO there is a Table BANFN it will update when you create a PO with reference to PR
Do se11 > Table EKPO> CtrlShiftF10 > Assign any of PO no. in the EBELN > Execute > you will find BANFN table
it indicates Purchase Requisition Number. it will update when you create PO with reference to PR.

Approval for Contract and Order based on PO date and Document Date Combinat

Dear All,
I have a critical requirement from my client.
1. If the PO date in the contract is less than 10 days or more of the document date [Created date] then further process should not be allowed. Only authorized person should release the contract, and then order creation should be possible.
For example: Customer PO date is 18-07-2011 and if the document date is 28-08-2011, then system should stop for further processing. Only after release this should be allowed to proceed.
2. Sales order scheduled date for item is 30.07.2011 and if the PO date is 18.07.2011 again system should again go for approval. Business requires this because the time gap between the PO date and the delivery date is very short, so only on approval the next process should be allowed.
Is this possible through Status profile? I have tried this but I canu2019t give condition like if it less than the PO date system should go for approval.
Kindly guide me if this is possible and share your ideas.
Best Regards,
Venugopal

Hi Venu,
In user eixt USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP (inlcude MV45AFZZ) write the code to compare the PO date and contract creatioon date and if the PO date is 10days less than the contract creation date reject all the line items with a special reason for rejection at the item level if the document is a contract or if the document is a sales order then populate a delivery block.
Regarding the authorization to release the contract you can think of below options.
Give authorization to only specific people to remove the reason for rejection or remove the delivery block.
Or
If you want to automate the approval process then based on the delivery block setup workflow which will raise an event and trigger an email to the approver inbox. For the approval you can give options like Approve/Reject. Based on the apporver's action design the workflow to change the contract accordingly i.e either removing the delivery block or keep it as it is.

Contracts and order

Hi Gurus,
I am new to Contracts in SD. I have to create a contract which is entered into the order and applies to all line items. Can you please explain the configuration and flow. Should I create two sales doc types one for Contract and another for Order? Where should I make the pricing and billing settings?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
Rajesh

hi,
u can create quantity contract, Value contract (value wise or material wise).
no need to create two different sales order. when u will create a sales order u can create with the reference of any of the created contract.
for quantity contract-- with t code-va41, u used the document type QC.
here u will not get any schedule line. contract have a valid date & the item category will be KMC.
For value contract by using WK1 or WK2
WK1 -with assortment module & the value contract can be made for more then one material.
item category will be WKN, To create a assortment module u need a material (dummy material)since it is a sales document. After creating a value contract u will get a contract no.
u have to create a assortment module by using t.code-WSV2
u have to maintain a different pricing procedure WK0001.
document pricing procedure is V for value contract.
After that u can create a sales order with ref. to value contract.
or if u wont want to create with ref to value contract then u can create a sales order with the materials which are not mansion in the value contract.
WK2- this value contract type is meant for a particular material which was mansion in the contract document .
u have to proceed like same as WK1 & the item category will be WKC
I hope it will help u

Text is not copying into Header Text Type from Contract to Order & Invoice

Salute Masters!!
I have done related configuration in VOTXN for Sales Document & Billing.
After creation of Contract, given Text in New Header Text Type, itu2019s not copying into Sales Order or Invoice.
Although, which was configured earlier one, for that Header Text Type, text is copying into Order & Invoice both properly.
Firstly; I have given the same Access Sequence for the New Header Text Type, It was copying the same matter which was given into Old Header Text Type, then I have created new Access Sequence & assigned changed Access Sequence for the New Header Text Type, even then it is not copying.
I have checked other Configuration those are OK!
Assignment of Sales Document Type to Text Determination Procedure, it is OK!
Please provide the solution.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
Sanjai Srivastav

Hi
Hope the issue is resolved , if not please check these settings - VOTXN
1. Create Text Type for your Sales order -S001 and Billing Invoice - B001
2. Create Access Sequence - Z001.
3. Include your Both Text Type in respective Procedures.
Now
WHen you will assign the Text into your Text Procedure - Assign same Access Sequence in both the case.
In your Sales Order text procedure - Assign
1. Assign Text Type S001 and Access Seq Z001
2. Select the Access Seq on the left side in the VOTXN T-Code , a POP up will come and then input Your Access Seq into that
3. You will get another screen, Here give the Seq No-1 and VBBK Header Text and Again Assign TEXT type S001.
Now go to Invoice Text Procedure
1. Assign Text Type B001 and Access Seq Z001 and SAVE.
Once you will do that the step 2 and 3 will automatically get copy in the backend.
To Check
2. Select Access Seq on left side and in the Pop Up input access Seq. Now there you will see the system has copied the
fields from the Order.
Now try running the scenario. same you can do for Contract and Order.
Hopefully this will Help you.
please let me know if any concerns
Thanks

Absolute condition value in contract and release order

Hi,
We are creating quantity contract. When a absolute condition (value) is entered this value is considered for release qty in the contract for calculating the unit price.But when a release order is created for this contract, the same absolute value is for the PO quantity due to which there is a difference in unit price between contract and PO.
Please advice.

Sales order with reference to Contract and another sales order

Hi Gurus,
I would like your suggestions on one of the business requirement i have.
We are creating a new EDI interface with few of our customers to create sales orders. While creating sales orders, it should validate if there are any open contracts available and if yes, then the sales order should be created with reference to it. so far good but there are chances that sold to party on the contract could be different from sold to party on the EDI order sent by customer (customer can have more than one sold to party on their system). IDOC's are failing in this scenario and not able to create a sales order since sold to partys are not matching. I need your help.
Can we do some thing in customer master to handle this scenario?
or
Create a new sales doc type (YEDI or some thing) and create sales order from IDOC without reference to contract. Business will look into all YEDI order and create the actual sales order out of it but the challenge here is i cannot refer contract to the actual sales order or YEDI order.
Is it possible to create sales order with ref to a contract and another sales order?
Please help
Thanks
Venkat

Hello Venkat
What is the linkage between sold to party of contract and sold to party of order..If customer has more than one sold to party.
Why don't you use customer hierarchy....link all sold to party of a customer to hierarchy node.for example...you create a hierarchy node 1000 and assigned customers 2000 and 3000 to it.you have contract for 2000..so when you create a sales order for 3000 check in knvh table it's customer hierarchy 1000 and get all sold tos assigned to hierarchy...which is 2000....check if contract exist for sold to's..If yes then create order with reference.
Let us know if it works for you.
Thanks

Contract and release order for service: connection and field selection

Hi Experts,
I have some questions about contract and release order (PO against contarct) for services.
A -I want ot know if there is any standar way to oblige the creation of a release order to a contract. I mean i had some users that create a release order w/o reference to the contract and it works fine anyway. The document is a copy of the NB. I cant find the way to reference the 2 purchase document clearly.
B - Using a release order, when copying the item from contract catalogue by clicking the service selection icon, description and net price are correctly copied: the description is not modifiable but the net price can be change by the user. Can some body explain me where to modify this setting? where is the field selection and where in SPRO step by step please,
thanks in advance
Livio

... Nobody is so nice to suggest me any solution?
For the point A probably the only way is user-exit.... but for B i don't have any idea, please let me know
thanks

How to link Sales Order with Service Contract and then with Install Base?

Hi Friends,
1) I would like to know the integeration process from sales order to Service Contract and then with Install Base.
2) I couldn't see anything enabled in Service Tab in Order Lines, its grayed out. Is there any set up/profile option to get it enabled?
3) How can we create AR invoice from Service Contract?
Please let me know if anyone has idea on this.
Thanks in Adavance,
Vara

Dear Sid,
Thanks for your promt response.
Let me explain you what I did.
1) I have booked a Bill Only sales order which has one order line, mentioned it as Service Item and provided the same details in Service Tab in Order lines. Now Line status is "Fulfilled"
2) Then Submitted Workflow Back Ground Process for OM Order Lines and it has created an AR Invoice and closed the line
3) And then submitted "Service Contracts Order Capture Integration Program" from SErvice Contracts Responsibility and it completed normal.
4) Now I went in to Launch Contracts Window and queried with the sales order but couldn't see any contract created
5) Then I went in to Reprocess Order Window and found this order shows an error message as "Referenced Product not present in the Installed Base", then I tried to reprocessed it, but the same error message again.
Here I have few doubts:
1) Are the AR invoice and Service Contract Billing Invoices same?
2) In above scenario AR Invoice has been created, I would like to do the billing from SErvice Contracts and need to create an Invoice in AR? how can I do that?
because as you explained in one of my questions earlier, A Single Invoice can be created for the whole duration of the contract. I want to do that and trying for the same.
3) Regarding the above error message, how can I resolve it and create the service contract against that Order?
Thank you so much for your helpful answers.

Vara

How to map values between Contract and Purchase Order...

Hi friends,
We are using SRM 5.0 (ECS). I am facing a problem with Purchase Order.
. I am creating Contract locally through Live Auction. After that I am creating Purchase Order through Live Auction. So in Purchase Order Quantity, Net Price, Gross Price, and Long Text etc. not coming which is defined in Contract. PO capturing the values from Live Auction, means no relation between the Contract and Purchase Order. After making Contract again I have to changes in the Purchase Order.
So how to map the values from Contract to PO in SRM? I want to map between contract and Purchase Order like R/3. At the time of creation of PO ( in R/3 ) we can adopt the Contract so all the relevant values comes from Contract to PO. In SRM how will I do?
Please suggest me.

When you create PO and a contract from a Live Auciton, they will not be mapped.
While creating a PO (BBP_POC - Process Purchase Order); in the PO line item assign the contract and item reference. Only then they will be linked.
Hope this helps.

How relate Procurement Contract and Purchase Order

Hi!
We are going to use Oracle Procurement Contracts and Purchasing in Oracle Apps R12.1.3 version.
I think that modules have to work together.
We activated Procurement Contracts and profile "PO: Contracts Enabled"
We have in "Purchase Order" actions 'view Contract terms', and functionality to chose Contract template and clause, "Manage Contract Documents" - that all.
Can we create from it, or relate with this PO a real Contract, that we see in Contracts Workbench?
Edited by: DenisM on 20.02.2013 14:44

Denis:
Use Oracle Contract Terms module as the module for defining contract templates and clauses. Once you define it in this module, the templates will be available in Oracle Purchasing.
I am not sure if the Contracts Workbench is integrated with Oracle PO. It was not in earlier versions but it maybe in 12.1.3. You may want to check on that.

Contract and release orders

Hi guys,
I know that by maintaining a source list, we can generate schedule lines for a scheduling agreement through MRP run.
Our requirement is that, release orders are to be created through MRP run, if any contract exists for that material. If no contract exists for that material, MRP run should trigger purchase requisitions.
is it possible?
if yes, what is the configuratin required for this?
anybody can help me out?

Hi,
MRP Run will look at Source list for creating schedule lines if u maintain creation indiactor as 3 (create schedule lines) against a vendor
in ur case of Contracts
maintain this indicator as 2 (relevent to MRP)
assign Contract No. & line item against the row (vendor)
system will create PR assigned with contract no. and if u conver this to PO , a contract release order is created
if u are not asigning any contract in source list system will create PR with vendor assigned
no config required for this
only correct assignments in source list are enough
hope this helps

Commitment in Purchase contracts and purchase order

Hi,
We are loading contract through LSMW. As account assignment we are just passing the cost center and the account is configure in OKB9. However for some contract the flag is set in items affect commitments and the wrong account is determine. I want to know if this behavior is normal and why? How do you know how commitment is set up in the system?
I have also seen that for some purchase order there are commitment lines that have been created in table COOI. Those pruchase order has been created through idoc and here again we do set the commitment flag.
Thank you for your help

Hi,
Please consider that purchasing documents which do not have facility of GR, can not create commitment, hence commitment is not available for contracts.
In case you want PR commitment to be adjusted against PO, please ensure that along with contract, PR number should also be filled in PO.Here I mean for EKPO-BANFN should be filled in PO then commitment would not be double.
Case 1 with contract:
When you post Purchase requisition.
- Purchase requisition updates commitment.
- You see purchase requisition amount in the report S_ALR_87013558.
When you post Contract with reference to the Purchase Requistion:
- Purchase requistion commitment stays as it is.
- Contract doesn't update the commitment.
- You see purchase requisition in the reprot S_ALR_87013558.
When you post a purchase order with reference to contract:
- Purchase requistion commitment stays as it is.
- Contract doesn't update the commitment,
When PO posted with reference to contract, there is no commitment reduction for the contract either.
- Purchase Order commitment is updated.
- You see purchase requisition and order in the report S_ALR_87013558.
Case 2 without contract:
When you post Purchase requisition.
- Purchase requisition updates commitment.
- You see purchase requisition amount in the reprot S_ALR_87013558.
When you post a purchase order with reference to requisition:
- Purchase requistion commitment is reduced by PO posting
- purchase order commitment is updated.
- You see only the purchase order amount in the report S_ALR_87013558.
The attached note 151451 describes also the system behaviour.

Deliveries and contract release order ( LIKP ; LIPS tables)

We have an extractor for SAP BW based on LIKP and LIPS tables.This extractor is fetching all the deliveries.
What I want to know is , Do this tables have all the deliveries i.e deliveries against a sales order and also
contract release order ( or call offs or deliveries against sales order for customer with Contract).
If yes, how can I seperate the deliveries for contract release orders, I mean based on which field?
And also is there information on Total quantity of the Contract available from this tables?
Thank you
Regards
mandha

Hi Mandha
Find field definition for following:
VBELN : Delivery
POSNR : Delivery Item
LFART : Delivery Type
PSTYV : Item Category
LFIMG : Delivery Quantity
KCMENG: Cumul Batch Quantity
VGBEL : Reference Document
VGPOS : Reference Item

You can use SE11 for definition of fields and table details.I hope this will help you.
