Qty Contracts

Hi there,
Can someone advice to me please, if i have a Value Contract what is the best way of triggerin the sales order to be created for the contract? will it be automatically done? or is it manually done? how and who will genertae the Release Order?
What I mean, is that in a normal sales order, the delivery due list wil run and create the delivery based on a required delivery date in the sales order, and that will occur, and than goods go out etc.....
but in a CONTRACT, how and when is the release order created?
thanks all

Contracts are basically three types, value,quantity and service contracts.
The value contracts Document is WK1. The value contracts is created in Tcode va41, containing the total contract value with a timeline.
Against the contract document Release ordersc are created using transaction code va01 ( the release orders are not created automatically). Ensure that the copy control is set from Contract to Order in VTAA tcode.
Upon creation of the release order , the value contract document gets updated with the realease order value. Once the entire value that is defined in the contract document is reached, anf if you try to create further Relaese orders, system throws up an error message or warning message depening upon your setting in congis.
The rest of the process remains same..ie. delivery document and billing.
In Addition refer to the below link:

Report for Qty Contract and Value Contract with PO release exceeding limits

Hi All,
Is there a std report in SAP that the users can use to view Qty and Val Contracts that has exceed in Qty (in case of Qty Contracts) or Val (in case of Val Contracts) ?
Thanks in advance!

hi Duke,
If thinking logically, then there is no report for the same..this may be because you enter the qty or value limits in the contract doc itself....So, when you make the PO for the same, and if the qty or value exceeds the system automatically provides the message..stating that the qty or value has exceeded....
So, there is no report for the same...
Hope it helps...

Qty Contract Issue - Completed but Status still "Being Processed"

Hello,
I need help with a situation I am encountering. This is AFS specific.
Create QTY Contract for 100. Both the item and schedule like have completion rule "B" and the copy control between contract and order has document flow set to "2" and positive.
Scenario 1:
If I create a call off order for exactly 100 (same grid value), the contract is correctly set to COMPLETE.
Scenario 2:
If I create a call off order for 50 and another call off order for 50, the contract status is BEING PROCESSED.
We need the contract status in the second scenario to be changed to "COMPLETED".
Thank you,
Siobhan

Hai Siobhan,
In our system i created similar contract and sales orders, but both are showing completed only.
1. Can you check again with complete cycle up-to invoice.
2. After creating 50 + 50 two orders, Check whether system is allowing to create further more orders
Please post the updates of the issue.
Regards,
Mani

Value Contract vs. Qty Contract

Hi All,
For Value Contract the system asks for Target Value in the header of the Contract. For example, if the target value is 10,000USD and I enter in the Target Value field in the contract and when I goto Item Overview the system's asking for Target Qty and Unit Price. Does the total of all the line item have to addup to the Target Value in the Header? I still can save the contract with the target value as 10,000USD and just a single line item with value of 50USD.....This doesn't make any sense.....Why is the system asking for "Target Value" when the line item can be under the Target Value???? Then what is the purpose of Value Contract?
Any explanations for this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Contract is the document that consist of terms and conditions (say Max value as you said 10000USD, validity date in value contract) or (maximum qty and validity date in qty contract).
The document created with T.Code ME31K is known as Contract.
With respect to This we need to create a release order in ME21 specifying delivery date, qty and price to supply it to vendor. You can create relese order upto the maximum value or qty specified in the contract with in the validity date.
For given contract document you can create N number of release orers (but shoild be with in max value and validity date).
USES:
This type of document is used where there is bulk requirement of material/service is needed. At each time they won't create PO, they will have an agreement with the vendor and send the signed contract document and vendor will supply/provide service as per our requirement.
Our requirement is specified in relaese order.
Hope will be helpful for you.

QTY Contract to Sales Order

After Sales Order is created I need to assign a new Item to an existing Quantity Contract.
When you first create an Item and press enter you will receive the Popup Outline Agreements exist for Line Item (if your setting in VOV8 is = B) I select list and then double click the correct QTY contract. The problem is that when i do this it is replacing my Plant in the Sales Order with the Plant from the QTY Contract.
I also tried to reference this item by skipping this message and using the menu path in VA02 (or VA01) EDIT > Assign Contract > Item Level. Here is enter my Contract # and press Assign. Now the Plant doesn't get replaced, however I receive a Popup saying New Pricing Carried Out. This now replaces my pricing on my Sales Order with the pricing from the Quantity Contract (CQ).
So the question is - how come when assigning a contract either through the menu path or through the Popup (Outline Agreement) I get different results? Shouldn't the copy control work the same using both of these methods?
I appreciate the help.
Thanks -

Hello,
Its very normal that you can enter order quantity more than the reference contract quantity flowing from the contract.
Additionally its not recommended that you change the standard SAP standard messages from warning to error etc.
Better you should go for an exit. Use following details:
Goto SE38 & enter include MV45AFZZ
Then goto user exit "USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT". In this you should tell your ABAPer to write code such that it compare the previuosly refered quantity & hence does not allow to enter quantity more that that in contract. You will get error message while saving the document & system will thus prevent extra entry of quantity in sales order.
Hope this solves your requirement

Order qty is in display mode in qty contract

HI GURU
kapil & Raghavendra YN ,
I follow your instructions but it is not working.
guru i want to put target qty & order qty both,
say---target qty 1000 & order qty 200 like that . but in standard sap system order qty is in display mode .
note- i simply copied qty contract from standard qty contract(QC) in sales document header.
According to Raghavendra YN , when i change Screen sequence gr in vov8 ,it works but only order qty comes instead of target qty. but i want to put both qty.
so please help me.

Hi
This is Standard SAP Practice
Actually in The quantity contract the target quantity field is how much contract quantity for the line Item, you are making Agreement with your customer typically this is agreement Quantity
When you are creating sales order with reference to Quantity Contract system propose you How much quantity you want to capy
you can click Selection list in the popup window
for eg You contract Quantity say 100 (Target quantity)
you are coping to sales order say 40 Quantity
now system will update your Quantity in the Contract Document like 60Qty
this is actually to compare your Target quantity with Order quty
if the order quantity Excide the target qty system will through the error Message
thanks

Multiple simultaneous release against qty contract

Hello Experts
I have a blanket contract. I am releasing this contract through sales order creation (VA01). But when two users are simultaneously releasing the contract in VA01 then in the dialog box of "Create with reference" system gives one of the users the following error "
Sales document 40000074 is currently being processed (by user MISC2210)
I checked into SAP help and they suggested a field "Simultaneous Release Orders". Refer Quantity Contract - Sales and Distribution - SAP Library
SAP note 697962 - Document flow not updated at simultaneous contract release says that " Function 'Simultaneous Release Order' is set in the copy control between the contract and the follow-on document.". However i was unable to find it
My business requirement is that multiple users should be allowed to simultaneously release the contract. This will save them considerable waiting time during the peak hours
Could you please provide assistance?

Hdllo Shane,
´The note you are speaking about is component specific release IS-AFS. I don´t have it in my system.
I am working in automotive industry and we have similar requirement. But we focused all our efforts to optimize the performance of release creation and therefore reduce the impact of locks. From my point the lock is critical process that should be kept.
ps: In my context we use our Sales Schedule Agreement to manage customer demand. So we didn´t even think about deactivating the lock on SSA.

When I create C -> O1 & C-> O2. The cumulative qty of orders(O1, O2) exceeding that of C. But system is allowing it with just warning. I want to issue error so that users should not create orders(exceeding qty from same contract).
I checked all settings of copy control from CQ ->OR, but nothing is working out!!! Pls help on how to do it?
2. Same issue when creating contract from another contract (in another scenerio)
C1 -> C2. Here also system is accepting when C2 qty exceeds C1 qty. Pls help.

For this you have to take assistance of an ABAPer in your team.
As per my knowledge, the message number for your case is V1 501.
For changing the message status of the message.
Message Status Change
- Go to SE91, input V1 in Message Class and 501 in Number and execute
- Block the said message and press CTRL + SHIFT + F3 form your keyboard
- Select Programs and click on green tick
- Place your mouse on white box of left side and again press CTRL + SHIFT + F3 form your keyboard

Or
Kindly refer following SAP Notes:

Returns on sales orders regarding contracts

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with returns on sales orders.
We get returns on sales orders - like most companies.
If the sales order has a parent order of the type contract / quantity agreement,
the return is increasing the open quantity of the contract.
Is there any possibility to prevent this behaviour in standard SAP,
without a modification?
Thanks - for any tip !!

Hello Manuel,
My understanding of ur situation:
U have a qty contract, say for 100 items and have sold 25 items. The contract is updated and shows open qty as 75 items.
After the sale, the customer has returned the 25 items and the contract is updated back as 100 items.
And, you do not want this standard behavior of SAP to take place?
In this case, go to the copy control of the item category and uncheck the update document flow indicator.
However, plz note that if the update doc flow is not set the customer can order as much as he would like to, without the qty contract being updated. Niether would you be able to see the document flow.
I hope this helps, plz get back for further clarifications.
Rgds,
Raghu.

Contract- sales order

Hi all,
i created a value contract for 50,000 USD.
w.r.t this contract i created a sales order for 40,000 USD.
now in the contract the released value is showing as 40,000 USD and Target value as 50,000 USD.
when i change the target value as 30,000USD(less than released value) system accpted, but in this case system should not accept the less value.
how to do this?
cheers

Hi,
Contract order is always like a quotation in SAP. so wrt quotation any business accepts more than quotation value generally. in some cases like urs we need to restrict that upto the contract value. in such scenarios please take ur tech consultant help and make it as error. I made for qty contracts. this message will not come under message variables in customization (IMG) so take tech consultant help. Hope u get it.
thanks

Advance in quantity contract

Hi All,
I am creating on quantity contract and i want to bill advance for entire quantity and rest of payment i want to bill by raising invoices in connection with realese orders.
Waiting for your inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Kaushal

Hi,
Qty Contract is the contract where u maintain quantity in a contract created for 1000nos.With contract release u can get the material for example,say 10 times further u can't make any contract release referencing that contract.
Value Contarct is when u create contract,the value is mandatory.System will not ask u to enter the qty mandatory.Once the value of the Contarct releases done with referencing the contract,the system will throw error that the full value has been utilized. You can also increase the value of contract if needed.
