Difference between Sales Contract and Sales Agreement

Hi,
I am confuse with contract and agreement. Please let me know what is exact difference between Sales Contract and Sales Agreement, when the sales contract will be used and in which real time situation, the sale agreement will come into picture.
Please do needful.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,

Agreements are mainly for pricing terms. These pricing terms can then be brought into the sales/service transaction.
There are standard transaction types for these WK1 WV in ERP and CRM.
Hope this helps.

  • Difference between business area and sales area

    Hi
    I am swetha i have one doubt
    1) what is the buisiness area and what purpose we use the business area
    2)  what is sales area and what purpose we use the sales area
    3)what is the main Difference between business area and sales area.

    Hii..
    Business Areas in SAP are used to differentiate transactions originating from different points/lines/locations in business. Let me give some examples to elucidiate:-
    A company (say, ABC) is a huge company and has a variety of businesses under it. Let us say that it typically operates in 3 different domains like machinery manufacturing, trading and assembling of machine parts.
    There are 2 options here now -
    1. Either create different company codes for the 3 business operations (which would be the easiest and require no creativity)
    or
    2.) Create each of these business lines into business areas (the better option).
    The advantages of using the second option is:
    1. You can use these business areas if other company codes require the same areas
    2. The configuration is simpler as in case of company code, you would require to go through the entire configuration of creating Chart of Accounts, Fiscal Year variants, posting periods variants and so on. In the business area option, you just need to attach it to the company code and the rest of the details in Business area is attached by default from the company code you are using it in.
    3. Using the options in controlling (EC-PCA, Enterprise Controlling, Profit Centre Accounting), you can even draw up Balance Sheets and PL statements for your business areas and hence this is used for management accounting in some companies (like HP, Dell, etc) when it wants to know the operating profits for different business areas/lines.
    The above was an example when the company wanted to separate entries according to the lines it operates in... the other case could be when it wants to find out profitability during its operations in cities and differentiates these cities into Business
    Areas...
    Business Areas are not much relevant in FI but are much more relevant in CO.
    Hope this clears.

  • Difference between Purchase Order and Scheduling Agreement

    Can any one explain the main differences between a Purchase Order and a Scheduling Agreement?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    A Purchase Order is a document that is given to Vendor to indicate our intention to buy goods from them. It contains what is the desired goods, how much quantity, price, and the delivery date, among other things.
    A standard procurement cycle for this is:
    PR --> PO --> GR --> IV
    A Scheduling Agreement however, is a type of an Outline Agreement. Outline Agreements are divided into 2, first one is Contracts and second is Scheduling Agreement. So this is basically a long term agreement with a particular vendor that contains details on what is the desired goods, quantity, and the exact delivery dates.
    A standard cycle for this is:
    PR --> Create Scheduling Agreement --> Maintain Delivery Schedule (agreed dates on when vendor will send the goods and time) --> GR --> IV
    As you can see, for Scheduling Agreement, PO is not required, but instead we would need to Maintain Delivery Schedule.
    Just to share on Contracts, it appears as below:
    PR --> Contract Creation --> PO --> GR --> IV

  • "difference between sales order and scheduling agreement "

    hi, 
    i want to know difference between sales order and scheduling agreement and where use scheduling agreement & where sales order ?
    please help
    amit

    Hi Amit,
    Its not hard to find this info at help.sap.com
    Sales Order
    Definition: Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time. The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
    Scheduling Agreements
    Purpose
    A customer scheduling agreement is an outline agreement with the customer containing delivery quantities and dates. These are then entered as schedule lines in a delivery schedule. You can either create schedule lines when you create the scheduling agreement or you can create them later.
    You fulfill a scheduling agreement by creating the deliveries in the schedule as they become due. You process deliveries for a scheduling agreement in exactly the same way as you process a normal delivery. After you have carried out the delivery, the system updates the Delivered quantity field in the scheduling agreement item with the delivery quantity. The following graphic shows the document flow for scheduling agreements.
    Integration
    You would use this component if you had outline agreements with the customer that contained future delivery quantities of materials that would be sent at certain times within a fixed time period.
    If you work with scheduling agreements for the component supplier industry you also need to choose the "Electronic Data Interchange" (EDI) component.

  • Difference between SAP MI and CRM Mobile Sales

    hi experts,
    we need to understand difference between SAP MI and CRM mobiles sales solutions. what are SAP's  recommendations: where to use MI and where to use Mobile sales.
    can some of you explain the pros and cons of each solution or let me know the place where i get such info.
    thanks in advance.
    RH

    SAP MI apps are aimed at PDAs while CRM Mobile Sales is aimed (and can only work with) at laptops.
    PDA solutions are mostly used by sales agents while the laptop solution is more suitable to account managers. The laptop has much more information available that includes:
    - Marketing planning and execution capabilities
    - Account Planning
    - BW Reporting
    Mobile Sales for PDAs has more basic functionalities like order & activity management and business partner data maintenance (which are also included in the laptop version).

    thanks

    hi
    SAP has differenciated various sales scenarios into various salses documents.  basing on the scenario & circumstances you will be having a sales document to use.
    sales document header:which carries the properties of a sales document lie CMR MMR CMIR & Pricing  conditions etc...
    this will be applicable to entire sales document
    by sales document we mean the total data carried by a particular document - header; item & schedule line data.  each carries its own information to complete the sales document with out errors.
    VBBE-VBELN= VBAK-VBELN  stands for schedles in the sales order document & document header.
    hope this clears your issue

    Dear Faisal,
    Unlike the higher package, B1 has no option to link between Inventory Transfer and Sales Order. You have to add UDF and manually maintain the link.

  • Difference between Scheduling lines and Delivery schedule

    Hi SD Experts
    can u say me the clear difference between Scheduling lines and Delivery schedule.
    where we will maintain deliver schedule. whether delivery schedule is automatically created along scheduling agreements..
    with regards
    James

    Hi James,
    Schedule Lines: Has basically information realted to delivery scheduling in Sales Order level.
    Delivery Scheduling: Is a process using which system will determine what are the different activities which need to be performed and time taken for each activitiy only after which the material can be delivered to the customer.
    Delievry scheduling will be started only from the material availability date i.e., system will first determine the material avail date and then do scheduling. By default Standard SAP system does Backward Scheduling in case material availability falls beyond the required delivery date system will do forward schedluing
    Delivery Scheduling consists of the following Basic activities:
    We give deatils while creating order:
    Order Creation Date
    Required Delivery Date
    Order date - Material availability date - Transportation Planning Date - Loading date - Goods Issue Date - Required Delivery Date
    Time Between GI Date and required Delivery Date is called Transit Time
    Time Between LoadingDate and GI Date is called Loading time
    Time Between Material Availability Date and Loading Date consists of 2 components - Pick / PackTime and Transportation Planning Time
    System has to calculate all this before it determines the confirmed delivery date.
    Give your mail Id I have some Presentation I will send you across.

  • Difference between Rebate rate and accrual rate

    Dear Experts,
    Can you explain the difference between Rebate rate and accrual rate in rebate processing ?
    If possible, give any example so that it would be easier to understand.
    Thnx in advance
    regards,
    Sagar

    Hi Sagar,
    I also agree that rebate is an amount which is derived from either sales order or billing doc.
    No it's not; only billing documents update rebate agreements.
    ... two terms i.e. Rebate rate and Accrual Rate maintained in condition records for rebate agreement.
    Accrual Rate = The rate used to accrue the value (provision) before settlement takes place.
    Rebate rate = The rate used to generate the real credit amount to the customer when settlement takes place.
    Usually both rates are set the same but, because if scales are used in the rebate rate, then it is usual to manually set the accrual rate at the expected rebate rate based on the planned sales volume.
    If I am not wrong, the condition technique it it the accrual rate which determined not the rebate rate.
    Not correct; the condition technique is used to determine both rates in the rebate condition.
    Also i tried to create scales for rebate, this can be done with rebate rate and not with accrual rate. Then what is its use.
    Scales are used when the amount is paid on a variable rate depending on the total customer consumption. The idea is that the more the customer is purchasing, the more rebate he will receive, also on its previous purchases.
    Accrual rate is fixed (no scale).
    Hope it helps.

  • Differences between info records and conditions

    In pricing of purchasing, I have found using both info records and conditions. Also in the menu path <b><i>Logistics->Material Management->Purchasing->Master data</i></b> have both 'Info record' and 'condition' menu folder.
    I want to know the differences between info record and condition and where to use them respectively. Anyone can help me?
    Thanks a lot!
    --Alex

    Hi ,
    Condition enables you to store pricing stipulations agreed with the vendor (such as applicable discounts or surcharges, or stipulations regarding the payment of freight costs) in the system. You can enter these conditions in quotations, outline purchase agreements, and info records. You also have the option of entering general conditions at vendor level, for example. The system then applies the conditions in determining the price in purchase orders (POs). You can enter further conditions in the PO itself.
    Simply put - Info-record is a type of condition record.
    Purpose of Condition Records for S&D
    Condition records allow you to store and retrieve pricing data in the system. All the pricing elements of your daily business - the prices, discounts, and surcharges for freight and taxes - that you want to use for automatic pricing must be stored in the system as condition records. You can define as many condition records as you want for the different pricing elements for any validity period.
    You create condition records for all the pricing elements that the system takes into account during automatic pricing. During document processing, the system transfers data from the condition records and determines the amounts for individual pricing elements (prices, discounts and surcharges) and the final amount for the sales document.
    For MM and S&D related condition information refer to the following URL :

  • What is difference between u2018credit exposureu2019 and u2018credit limitu2019?

    Hi
    What is difference between u2018credit exposureu2019 and u2018credit limitu2019?
    What transaction I can used for to see these tow information?
    best regard
    francoise

    Credit exposure is total AR and open sales values.  Credit limit is used for block sales documents if the total exposure will exceed the credit limit. For Example:
      Credit Limit : 600
       Open AR ( Customer Balance) : 100
       Customer Open Orders (Order Quantity have been confirmed, but no delivery document is created) : 100
       Open Delivery (Delivery has been created, but no billing ) : 100
       Open Billing (Billing is created, but has not release to Financial Accounting): 100
    So far, the credit exposure is  400. If a new sales order is coming with value of 260, the sales order will be blocked, but the credit exposure is still 400.
    Then if someone release the new sales order , then the credit exposure is 660.
    Hope this is useful for you.
