Quantity contracts for a cumulative collection of materials

We have contracts that specify the cumulative quantity of a collection of products. The contract is expressed this way due to the variability of the yield in the manufacturing process and the customers demand. Therefore using multiple lines in the contract, one for each material, is not possible since the quantity of each line is not known.
The use of the Assortment Module that is available for value contracts allows us to create the proper grouping of materials for the contract. Unfortunately, the products are also subject to frequent price changes within the terms of the contract.
Is there a way to incorporate the Assortment Module or Product Hierarchy functionality of the value contract in a quantity contract?
Thanks in advance,
Dheinemann

Hello Will,
You can configure a Common Distribution Channel and a Common Division and assign them to all the sales orgs in the system and maintain customer master data in this common sales area
then you can create a sales order with reference to a contract maintained in any sales area
but I'm not sure how you are maintaining the pricing condition records and its behaviour when you create a sales order
please let me know whether you succeed by this configuration

Quantity Contracts for minimum quantity and above

Scenario:
1.     Customer Can order materials which are mentioned in the list of materials provided by him.
2.     The company has agreed to give customer bonus on quantity ordered. The bonus will also be in terms of quantity as free   goods. (for e.g 0-100 mtonnes, free good will be 10 mtonnes)
3.     The bonus quantity can be adjusted among the materials ordered. (It can be adjusted using one material or using all the materials (no percentage distribution defined)
Is there a scope in SAP Contracts to configure this type of contracts?

Not recalculate value "Release Quantity" in a Quantity Contract

Hi all, did you get a solution for this issue? In a quantity contract, for an item we defined the target quantity = 72 and linked this item to 2 Service Entry Sheets, each one with entered quantity = 36, and then were released. After that, for one of this Service Entry Sheet the release was reset and all items were deleted. However, the value for the field "Release Quantity" in the contract doesnu2019t was recalculated. The value continue being = 72, and should be 36. Therefore, at the time to try to create another Service Entry Sheet appears the error "The entered quantity exceeds the target value in the contract".
Thanks in advanced for you help.

Restrict quantity while creating quantity Contract

Hi all,
I have created quantity contract for 100 units and save.
now when i was creating release order with this contract ref, it is allowing me to create for more than 100 units.
but i want to restrict/customize that after reaching the maximum qtty frm the contract system shoud give error message , (rather than allowing me ).
how to do this?

Hi,
I did this in my previous project. we wanted to restrict the sales order upto the cotract booked with advance token to get some discount. there is no standard customization setting for that. system gives only warning message and allows u to continue. we have to make it error to warning. but thing is it will not come under message attribute which allows u to make error in customization (it is not V4 message) So ask ur abaper to use exit MV45AFZZ. to make error or ask abaper to do in any way.

Release strategy for quantity contract

Hi Gurus,
In quantity contract .. target value will not filled by the value(in header details) as it is quantityt contract.

Hi,
The release strategy for the contract will work in the exact mechanism as for the PO i.e. it will be determined based upon the total net value of the entire purchasing document.

Quantity contract not relevant for release

Hi all,
I am working on quantity contracts. After creating a contract, I'm trying to create a release order with reference to the contract. When I fill in the contract nr and the release partner Sap gives me the following message: contract 400****** is not relevant for release, authorization check.
Any suggestions?
Thx

Hi,
In order type VOV8, there is a filed Check partner authorization under Contract.
If it is No check, then no need to give the customer number while you release the contract.
Here you can specify whether the check is to be performed against the partners in the contract. If you do not want the check to be performed, leave the field blank.

Standard report for invoices against a quantity contract

dear experts,
is there any standard report for how much invoices(billing) should be made against a quantity contract.
my requirement is suppose if i enter a quantity contract number then it will display all the invoices against that contract with
invoice values.if any please let me know so that we make make our process much better.
regards,
amar.

Dear Amar,
In SAP, this contract to Invoice their is not standard report.
Report
If you enter a quantity contract number, to get a list of invoices with qty and invoice amt
Prepare a SQVI REPORT
USING TABLES
VBRK for Invoice qty amt
VBRP for Invoice number, dates...
VBFA to get the intial document number
VBAK - to get the contract number
VBAP - to get the material.
Its worth spending little time to create the report.
Ensure standard SAP contract to Invoice is like compartments

Release Procedure for Quantity Contract

Dear All,
We have a business requirement to ensure that Quantity Contracts are released by the Account Receivable Accountant before the Sales Support Staff can create Sales Orders against them.
Process : Create Quantity Contract (VA41) -> Release Contract (VKM3)->Create Sales Order (VA01)
Currently, users can create sales order against the quantity contract before the contract has been released.
I need guidance on how to implement system control to prevent this creation of Sales Orders before Quantity Contracts are released..
How can i configure release procedure for quantity contract?
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Many Thanks

Hi
There is a concept of User Status / Status Management in SAP. By using this you can set status as default that is Blocked, and then the authorised person can release the document, only after that a person can create an Order, with reference to that Contract.
The Customisation setting is in :- IMG> sales and Distribution>Sales > Sales Document>Define and assign User Profile(T Code is BS02)
To know more about this you can search the Forum, also check the below given Link:-

Usage of Configurable material in quantity contracts

Hi Gurus,
We have a scenario like material type is configurable material.We have to use this material while creating volume / value contracts... But in standard we do not hvae option of determining the item categories for the combination of CQ (quantity contract) + 0002 (item category group) = nil.
Can anyone suggest me a wayout for this....
Regards
Bhushan

Configurable materials ae typically Made to order and stocks are created for specific orders and i believe we may not be able to maintain contracts for them. What can be done is we can explore the option of Part matching. For a particular combination we can create a standard material and create a contract for that.
I hope this helps.
