Release of Value contracts

Hi All,
I have plants using a NB (standard) PO type to release against a Value Contracts (ZP).
As per the rules it was stated that it was a must for us to use ZP so the users are forced to use ZM type (custom) PO to release. They were suppose to get an error message if using the wrong PO type code.
We do not want the plant users to see pricing, with ZB type they can not see the pricing, but with NB they do.
I need to change the config to avoid the value contracts to be released as NB type PO's.
This is an issue which is bussiness conern. Please, can someone advice ASAP how to go with the changes.
Thanks,
Shravya

If you're reference the PO to a PR, than you can remove the assingment of the Contract document type to the PR document type, so the users wont be able to create the PO with reference to the Contract with the specific doc type.

Release Value Contract Report

Hi,
As we can get individual customer released value contract amount through T Code VA43 and report Via T code Z_XX_SD_059 for mass customers which is usually not giving the correct amount of released from value contract. The report which is extracted via T code Z_XX_SD_059 normally not reconciled with the end result of T Code VA43.So, Is there any other T code for getting correct release value contract report for multiple customers? Please share if anyone knows.

Hi,
tcode Z is an in house development. Check with an abaper why there are differences with respect to VA43.

Assortment Module for Value Contracts
This function enables you to define a list of materials that can be released from a value contract. Materials can be assigned to more than one assortment module.
An assortment module is an entry tool and can be called up from the value contract. It is valid for a certain time period.
If you delete a material from the assortment module, to which a value contract refers, you will be unable to release that material.
In the value contract, only materials with the same sales organization and distribution channel as the value contract can be taken from the assortment module. All the other materials in the assortment module are not displayed in the value contract.
To fulfill both these requirements, two types of value contracts are offered in the standard system:
Value contract type WK 1
You can specify a product hierarchy or a assortment module for value contracts with contract type WK 1. The system will always propose this type of contract, if you want to create a contract for several materials or a certain group of materials. All the materials in the relevant assortment, or belonging to the specified product hierarchy are then relevant for release.
Value contract type WK 2 (material-related)
You can create contracts for one material (usually configurable) with this type of value contract. A software company is an example of where this kind of contract is often used. There, a contract for the value of $500,000 is made with the customer for one specific software product.
You can also agree on the length of the contract for this type. The contract duration can be agreed at item level and can be different from the contract duration specified at header level.
You can store special price agreements for the value contract. These price agreements can then be used at any level. For example, a value contract can contain prices for individual materials, or discounts that are valid for every released material.
Release Orders
The customer fulfills a contract by issuing orders against the contract. The contract does not contain any exact dates for deliveries, so you need to create a sales order to release against a value contract.
When a release order is created for the contract, the system automatically updates the released values in the contract. The release order value is calculated from the total of the open order and delivery values, plus the value that has already been billed to the value contract.
The system also updates the released value for subsequent changes (for example, overdelivery of contract release, price changes in the billing document, partial deliveries, returns, rejection of order items, cancellation or reversal of orders, deliveries or billing documents).
You can create a release order in any currency. The system automatically converts this currency into the one agreed upon in the value contract on the pricing date for the contract release order.
Creating Assortment Modules for Value Contracts
Procedure
To create an assortment module, proceed as follows:
1. From the initial screen choose Logistics >Sales and Distribution >Master data.
2.Choose Products >Value contract - Assortment module > Create.
You will then be in the Create assortment module: Initial Screen.
Module type 6 is defined for the value contract.
3. For external number assignment, enter a module number.
You can then use existing modules as a reference by entering the name of the module under reference.
4. Choose Enter.
5. Enter a short description for the module.
6. Enter a validity period for the product proposal.
During a release, the system checks if the release date lies within the validity period.
7. Create the materials that you wish to assign as items to a module.
You can display a list of materials as a product proposal, which you can then copy into the assortment module. To do this, choose Suggest material, enter the selection criteria in the subsequent screen and copy the selected materials to the items. Use Edit > Delete item to delete the materials that you do not want to copy to the assortment module.
8.Save your entries.
Also Please check the copy control in VTAA

Release PO against contract whit limit value for USER

Dear colleague,
We work SRM server 5.5 . SP14 extended classic scenario, and we use contract management.
We need to release PO against contract and we want to LIMIT the users that PO value have to be between 60 USD as minimum order value and 120 USD as maximum order value.
We know that solution for the minimum order value is to use the u2018minimum order valueu2019 in the contract item with the value 60.
Can someone help with the solution to limit user to maximum order value against contract.
Thanks
B.R.

One option is that you could implement the maximum value logic in BADI BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI and give out proper error message if the user enters value outside of the range.

Release orders for value contract

Hi Folks,
I have question on value contract.
Customer contract is fullfilled by issuing orders against the contract. When a release order is created for the contract, the system automatically updates the released values in the contract. The release order value is calculated from the total of the open order and delivery values, plus the value that has already been billed to the value contract. System checks this value with "Outline agreement target value" in value contract and issues warning or error message depends on configuration settings in value contract item catagory.
We have business scenario where system has to check net value of value contract rather than checking "Outline agrrement target value" in value contract. Because we offer some discounts to customer in value contract thus net value of the contract differs from agreement value. So that system will issue error message when release order value exceeds net value of value contract.
Is there any customizing settings available to meet the requirement?
Awaiting for your inputs.
Regards,
Prabhaharan

Hi,
In transcation VTAA at item level have your own cory requirment code which will calcullate net value of the doc, hope this works out

Differences between Contract Cumulative Value an Release Orderes Value

Hi All
I have found differences in: EKPO (PO Items) and EKAB (Release Orders) tables vs. Cumulative Target Contract value.
The total amount in EKPO net values is grather than Cumulative Target Value in Contract, in EKAB net values as well.
Do you know the considerations that the system are taking?....because the Cumulative value must not be exceeded
Thanks for your tiime.
Regards
Mauricio

I have found the issue, the delivery complete indicator restore the Cumulative Amount in Value Contracts (Quantity = 0). After that, a new PO could be created with Agreement link limited for the amount restored.
So the all PO generated related with the contract could exceed the Cumulative Amount established in contract
Thatu2019s a problem because All PO could be received even though the delivery complete was activated
This behavior is only for Value Contracts

Release Value not Updated to Value Contract

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a value contract and subsequent sales order (release or call off orders).
My document flow and copying control have been set up such that after I have created a value contract, I can create a sales order with reference to the contract. The contract data and items get copied over to the sales order. But after I have saved the sales order, the release value is not updated. Also the reference status in the contract item is 'Not reference'.
Did I miss out any important configuration?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
HweeLing Tay

Hi,
Yes the update document flow indicator has already been checked 'X'.
The contract item category completion rule has already been set as 'E'. I have tried with C or D but still doesnt work.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,

Release Order for Value Contract WK1

i dont want to create sales order with referance to contract.
i have done below.
1. i created assortment module in wsv2 tcode for value contract
2. i created value conract (type WK1) in va41 tcode
3. i created (messages about outline agreement) "check at item level and copy if unique" sales doc type OR in tcode vov8
so, when i created a sales order (OR) without referance to value contract, i want the sales order to find the related contract at item level and copy
but sales order cant find the material in the assortment module that i created in contract type wk1.
where am i doing wrong?
Edited by: manas han on Jul 6, 2010 11:14 PM

Hi,
Firstly, I assume you have properly setup all the copy control of of the document types you want to use and also properly defined the document types and item categories you want to use.
Maybe you want to check/try the following: -
1. Check the validity of the assortment module you have created.
2. Try to create the assortment module again using tcode WSO1.
3. In your Order Type "WK1" and under the "Contract", maybe include the subsequent Order = OR
4. Check that your material has the product hierarchy properly setup?
5. Finally, try to use indicator "B: check at item level" instead of "D: check at item level and copy if unique". You would not get a dialog box in OR if you use indicator D as it will automatically copy to the OR if there is exactly one reference document created.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

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.

Value contract and pricing procedure.

HI All,
I am working on value contracts. I have configured value contract and other related things. But I have some querries:-
1) Can I use standard order as release order for value contract?
2) Do I need to create a different pricing procedure for value contract? If Yes wont it conflict with the pricing procedure determined in the relaese orders?
Kindly guide.
Regards,
Danny.

1)Can I use standard order as release order for value contract?
Ans: If you use the standard order as the release order document type, how would your restrict a particular customer for the orders (release)
For example: you have something as FOC value Contract.
Now when you can create a standard order same as the release order , how will you restrict the users from creation of orders for a particular customer.
2) Do I need to create a different pricing procedure for value contract? If Yes wont it conflict with the pricing procedure determined in the relaese orders?
Ans: To explain the q1 better , take the example of FOC value Contract( Free of costs)
Say : you business offers free products to customers.
Now the release order will can have a different pricing procedure than the Standard.
The difference would only be a R100 condition type which will make the price as Zero but the taxes will be applicable.
This explains why you should have a different order type for release orders.

Value contract - Need restrcition of amount in PO for contract line item

Hello Guru,
I want to create a single value contract (WK) for multiple years .. say 3 years with target value as 450K USD with three line items for each year of value 150K USD. I would like that when buyers create a PO system should not allow them to create release purchase order for each line item more than 150 K for the year. Can somebody tell me how to configure that?
Here is my current config example :
Contract #ABC - Target value 450 with validity date 1/1/11 until 12/31/13
Line item 1 - 150 K
Line item 2 - 150 K
Line item 3 - 150 K
Now when I create PO with respect to contract#ABC line item 1 - system allows me to create PO with more than 150 K but gives me error message only if I exceed more than 450 K (because message 06/042 is error in config).
The requirement is to create a single contract for the vendor. Can somebody help me to figure out the way to restrict PO amount by each year limit by standard or custom configuration?
Thanks, Sachin
Edited by: sachindubey on Feb 29, 2012 10:15 PM

Hi,
As far as I remember it was simple logic!
Something like
Goto EKPO select KONNR ;
If KONNR != blank (Not equal to blank)
Do not allow to change condition type u201CPB00u201D
Also incorporate addition date check for your need

Thanks in advance.

hai sajid,
As u said,

Discount issue on a value contract

Hi Experts,
I have created a value contract which contains 4 materials.
I have put a Discount % on Gross of 5 % on the header thinking that it will have an effect on the target value but when I create a Contract Release Order it's appears on the material item level.
How can I put a discount on the target value, please ?
Thansk in advance,
BR,
Cesar

Thanks for the quick reply.
I would like to create a value contract which contains material to be release against the conrtact.
I have a target value on the header and the contract contains 4 materials (I do not want to put any target quantity at material level, only price)
Requirement: I would like to create PO's with the contract release order functionality and to put in the PO the material (contained in the value contract) I need.
But: I don't want to put any target quantity on material level (just a price) and I need the system gives message if the target value (on the header) is exceeded by the total amount of the material release against this contract (in all the PO's created)
Can I manage this ?
Thanks in advance.

Release strategy of contract disappeared after using of MEMASSCONTRACT

Hi All,
May be some one can help me?
I have next problem it tr. MEMASSCONTRACT(ECC6)
Release strategy of contract disappeared after using of tr. MEMASSCONTRACT. I know why it happened, but I don't know how to correct it. Some time ago IN ECC5 we added a field to a table EKKO and used this field as one of characteristics in the release strategy of contracts. In order to transfer value of this field to field CEKKO-USRC1 we used User Exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002. This User Exit is suitable only for online transactions (ME31K, ME32K). How can I feel field CEKKO-USRC1 in transaction MEMASSCONTRACT?
Regards, Liza

Thank you. Probably I didn't explain my problem clearly. It's section of code from User Exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002:
ATA: reference(20) TYPE c VALUE '(SAPMM06E)EKKO'.
DATA: it_ekko TYPE ekko.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ymm_icl> TYPE ANY.
e_cekko = i_cekko.
*THE "ICL Contract" FIELD IS ONLY RELEVENT IN THESE TRANSACTIONS
IF sy-tcode EQ 'ME31K' OR sy-tcode EQ 'ME32K'
OR sy-tcode EQ 'ME33K' .
ASSIGN (reference) TO <ymm_icl>.
it_ekko = <ymm_icl>.
e_cekko-usrc1 = it_ekko-ymm_icl.
ENDIF.
Program SAPMM06E can only be reffered while using online transactions. Mass transactions does not use these program and it is completely class based. So, may be someone know how can i do the same , but for tr. MASS in ECC6.

Purchase Order not subject to release strategy for contract rel. strategy

Hello, I am trying to set release strategy for contracts (TCODE: ME31K). I have created characteristic, which use table CEKKO and field name BSTYP in Addnl data tab. I have checked values, and they are correct. Then I have assigned in release strategies in classification view value contract. But when I try to check release strategy in ME31K with green flag, it display error: Purchase Order not subject to release strategy. (I have tried to do the same strategy in purchase order, of course with value Purchase order, and it works nice).
So I have checked this release strategy with this codes:
CL24N ok,
CT04 ok,
CL30N ok,
CL20N ok,
Release simulation in release strategy works,
Then I found out that I should check SE38, SE37 but I do not understand how to use them (according: Purchasing Document Not Subject to Release Strategy).
Thank you for your help in advance.

I haven't said to use EKPO table in characteristics. You have to use CEKKO - BSTYP in characteristics.
I've just said the compare the value which you have given in Release strategy - Classification and EKPO table for the particular contract.
Also compare your release strategy settings with many existing documents in SCN.
Check your Classification should be like that.
You may see the error message in ME31K. Just save the contract then go to ME32K/ME33K or ME35K you can see the release strategy will effect for the contract.
