shanto aloor

Hi Shanto,
See documentation http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/46/377a08b2ea4bee8eb9f47e5c067064/frameset.htm for details on difference between contract and sales agreement - basically sales agreement doesnt have a quantity or value whereas contract do. Agreements are mainly for pricing terms.
There are standard transaction types for these WK1 WV in ERP and CRM.
SALESCONTRACT is the adapter object used to download these - just make sure the filter allows the download and then they will be automatically replicated to CRM during create. An initial load must have been executed first for sales transaction so that the delta load happens automatically.
Kind regards,
Vanessa

Regarding : Contracts and Scheduling Agreements

Hi All SAP Proffessionals,
Can anybody tell me what do we mean by Contracts/Scheduling Agreements?

Hi Mahesh,
A contract is a type of outline purchase agreement against which release orders (releases) can be issued for agreed materials or services as and when required during a certain overall time-frame.
Contracts are of two types:
1. Quantity contracts - Use this type of contract if the total quantity to be ordered during the validity period of the contract is
known in advance.
2. Value contracts - Use this type of contract if the total value of all release orders issued against the contract is not to exceed a certain predefined value.
But a scheduling agreement is a form of outline purchase agreement under which materials are procured on predetermined dates within a certain time period. A scheduling agreement consists of a number of items, for each of which a procurement type is defined. The
The following are the procurement types:
- Standard
- Subcontracting
- Consignment
- Stock transfer
Delivery of the total quantity of material specified in a scheduling agreement item is spread over a certain period in a delivery schedule, consisting of lines indicating the individual quantities with their corresponding planned delivery dates.
Contracts and Scheduling Agreement transaction codes:
Transaction codes:
Contracts: ME31K to ME35K
Scheduling agreements: ME31L to ME35L.

The uses of PO - Contract and Schedule Agreements

Dear friends !
does anyone knows the differences between
1 - PO
2 - Contract
3 - Sched.Agreement
The integration with MRP and other modules ?
We need this to start an study on use this documents in our enterprise.
best regards
Ale

PO is a it's a legal purchasing document used for procuring goods/services from Vendor..
there are various account assignments & Item catogeroies
combinations for which you can procure..
Contract:- It is called outline agreement and used for procurement for longer duration, as it provides you to get discounts based on your requirement.
Sched.Agreement: It is also called outline agreement, used for for procurement for longer duration on specified delivery periods..
The diff between Contract & SA is that ,
for Contract there is no specified time.. we give only period..
ex: I say I need 100 tons of steel from period 01/01/2008 to 31/12/2008..
I may procure the steel as and when required or I may procure
the total Qty of steel on 31/12/2008.
But the SA will have diff schedules for delivery of the material..
we will define the dates & time at which the material needs to be delivered in the SA itself...
The integration with MRP and other modules ?
MRP is an integration between PP & MM

Outline agreements in procurement can be 2 types:
Contracts or Scheduling agreements.
Contract is where you have a contract with the vendor,may be a for a predetermined quantity or predefined value. So everytime you need the matl, you need to make PO ref the contract asking for the delivery of the matl. In such instance when PO is ref with contract its called contract release orders or call off orders.
Scheduling agreement is a long term purchase agreement, where you will keep issuing the delivery schedules whenever there is a change in requirement or at predetermined time intervals. The delivery schedule can be on hour/daily/weekly/monthly basis. But it will contain different zones viz. firm/tradeoff/Forecast. Firm zone schedules are confirmed requirement and need to be taken by ordered party. Tradeoff zone requirement is to purchase the raw materails and ordering party is liable to pay raw material cost, in case of requirement cancellation. Forecast zone requirement is to help the vendor to plan his requirements.
SA is also an agreement with the vendor for the supply of matl, may be a quanity or value. The delivery dates will be maintained in ME38 ref the SA which are called delivery schedules.So you can maintain the delivery schedule and communicate the vendor on Forecase basis or JIT basis. And when you need some more matl then will only create SA deliveries using ME38. SA could be of 2 types:- without release documentation-system will transmit the delivery info to the vendor once you save the document.
With release documentation- after creating the delivery schedules you need to create SA release using ME84.
The main difference between contract and SA is volume of docs generated would be higher in contract since everytime you need to make a PO ref the contract and its time consuming, whereas SA can be integrated with MRP such that it automatically creates delivery schedules during MRP run provided if there is a requirement to the matl.

Contract and sales order item deletion

Dear Experts
I am facing a problem in a praticular scenario.In our process we are making quotation(thru VA21)>Sales order>delivery>PGI>Billing
Now if we have a material code Z with qty as 10 in quotation the same gets copied to the sales order.But if i wish to delete the same line item in sales order , system prompts that this item refers to the quotation so it cannot be deleted.
Now if i go to quotation and try to delete the same line item , then also the system prompts that the sales order XXXX refers to this line item , you cannot delete it.
I wish to delete the same from sales order as well as the Quotation also.Kindly advise

Purchasing contract or scheduling agreement business flow

Hi everyone!
My user asked me if it is possible to use contract or scheduling agreement instead of purchase order for blanket order? (Bulk order, but staggered delivery throughout the year, upon an agreed price).
I know that SAP have contract and scheduling agreement functions but as far as I am aware, we still have to create PO refer to scheduling agreement or contract. I also noticed that in MIGO and MIRO, both the reference document happens to be purchase order. So, how are my users going to do the MIRO and MIGO for scheduling agreement?
Is there anything I can do in config to allow users to do MIGO and MIRO with reference to scheduling agreement instead of purchase order?
Thank you in advance.
Anisah

You can use SA docuemnt to do MIGO and MIRO as SAP standard process.
Create the SA document and schedule line for the SA document and the you can go MIGO.

Copy Billing plan from Contract to Sales Order

Dear Expert,
We created the Contract with Billing plan related to specific "WBS "Element". Then, tried to create the sales order with reference to that Contract. But billing plan details maintained in contract is not getting copied to sales order. can anybody give your experience to solve this issue.
Warm Regards,
Nag

Hello Nag,
Did you check your copy control routines in transaction VTAA? You need to see if these fields are included in the routines maintained for copy control between your contract and sales order.
I hope this helps.

Question regarding SAP note 765494 and Scheduling agreements

In a SAP ECC 6.0 environment has anybody dealt with note 765494? It appears that the changes allow the user to change shipping data on stock transfer scheduling purchase orders using the ME22N screen (Enjoy) but not the ME32L scheduling agreement change screen.
