Hi
outline agreement can be contract and scheduleing agreements...
Both are used for long time periods...
For eg in schedule agreement, there are schedule stored ie. no. of dates for which the qty is req. in the industry....
both can be used as a perdoc for the generation of the PO...
but there is an added advantage, with schdule agreement we can have further del. schedule generated even if the further req. is seen....but in contracts you need to generated new contract release order for every new requirement....
For further details pls check the link:

Tax value on Outline Agreement
I am very new to the concept of purchasing and outline agreements and below are some questions. Please help.
Should there be a tax value on outline agreements trxncode me32K?
Are they attached to purchase orders? and if so, how do you find out the PO attached to the contract(outline agreement).
Advance Thanks to those who can help and I will reward points.
LadysapHi
1.For Outline agreement, Tax code is not mandatory. However, you can enter the same by selecting the line item and clicking "Item Details" (F2).
2. Yes, Contracts(Outline agreements) are attached to Purchase Orders. They are called Release Orders. To create a PO against a Contract, go to ME33K, give the Contrcat no and in the Menu go to Contract->Follow On functions->Release Order.
You can view the Pos attached to the Contract in ME33K. Select the item in the item overview and then choose Item -> Statistics -> Release documentation.
For further information on the release order (i.e. on the purchase order), choose Goto -> Release details.
If you wish the goods receipts and values of invoices received to be displayed for the item, choose Goto -> PO history. All GR and invoice documents are then listed.
For more information on Outline Agreements, pls visit http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/75/ee0f5a55c811d189900000e8322d00/frameset.htm

Outline Agreements - min order qty and regular vendor flag
As a part of E Source Integration with ECC we are planning to leverageusing Outline Agreement(Contract Type MK) to store
Price and other Business Terms for Material / Vendor combinations. Currently we are
using Purchase Information Record with minimum order quantity and
regular vendor flag functionalities, and these are maintained manually.
We intend to use Minimum Order qty and Regular Vendor Flag
indicator in Outline Agreement as well, however noticed that these fields are
not available in the screens. Does anyone know if these fields can be enabled in an outline agreement?Guys
thanks for reply..
But I thnik my question was not fully clear as the aswers didn't make sense to me...
As a logistics consultant .I know that I can maintain Min Order qty for a material + vendor at PIR level..
My question ..if I buy 10 items in a PO from a sinle vendor..is there any option to restrict Min qrder qty for these combination of materials..
or in other words vendor says he dont care about number of items ,but the lot lot should be min..10 cartons only..
appropriate points will be rewarded.
thanks in advance. -
Global outline agreements and contracts
Hi,
Can anybody give me a step by step explanation of how to configure and distribute contracts and global outline agreements to the backend system. Also the T-codes used to access the contracts in the backend once the contracts have been distributed.
Happy New Year 2006 to the community !!!
Regards
SunnyHi Sunil,
I am not sure how are you creating your GOA in SRM. SRM Sourcing Business Config guide has lot of info on this. Here is some in brief.
GOA can be created manually or from Sourcing itself or from Sourcing involves Bidding or Auction.
I assume You are creating manually GOA in SRM.
1. You have to decide what type of Ctr you want to distribute. You can distribute as Qty Ctr or Value Ctr or Scheduling Agreement.
2. Define Doc type for each of these in Define Transaction type in SRM and assign Int number range.
3. Define same in R/3 and create same number range as Ext and assign type.
4. You have to code R/3 BADI BBP_CTR to determine next number for CTR distributed from SRM using new number range object.
5. You need to partner profile in R/3 to receive IDoc from SRM.
6. Distribute GOA from SRM using Distribute function.
7. You can see the CTRs in ME33K amd ME33L in R/3.
Ctrs are distributed thru IDoc using qRFC. You can use IDoc standard tools to troublshoot any issues during IDoc posting.
There are tools to monitor qRFC issues. Use SMQ1 in SRM to analyse the probelm.
Thanks,

Global Outline Agreement (Contract Create in Backend System)
Hi All
We are trying to create contract in backend system automatically. We have implemented the following two BADI.
BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS (SRM 5.0)
BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE (SRM 5.0)
But they are not getting triggered, when the contract is created. Just for the sake of confirming this, We put some logic for inserting an entry in the custom table if at the BADI is trigerred. But after the creation of contract there is no entry found in the custome table, hence I believe that the BADI is not getting trigerred.
My requirement are
1) I want this BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE to be triggerred when I click the "Release" button in "Global Outline Agreement".
2) Pointers how this can be debugged when releasing the outline agreement
Any help to solve this/ some useful pointer would be highly appreciated.
Note: I have checked these but did not help much,

KathirvelHi Bala,
Please see the note
Note 646903 - Global outline agreement: Tips and tricks.
This contains details of debugging the GOA transfer BADI.
Actually you need to make a variable X while starting debugging and then only BADI get trigerred.
This will solve your issue as debugging seems to be only way for your issue.

Difference - Outline Agreement , Scheduling Agrrement , Contract
Hi all...
Can anyone of you please explain whats the main difference between Outline Agreement , Scheduling Agrrement and Contract and when & where are these used.
Thanks
BalajiHi
Contracts and SA...both are called as Outline Agreements...
the main Diff.bet Contracts and SA..
1)The Conditions maintained in Contracts are always Time Dependent....where as you can maintain floating conditions in SA.(Controled by Doc.Type)
2)Based on contract you cannot do GR Directly....ie)you have to separately send Release Order by referring Contracts and based on these release orders only you can do GR....
whereas in SA, after releasing SA...you can do GR based on these SA...
3)The Individual delivery lines of the Release orders of the Contracts will not be effective.....where as Individual Delivery lines of the SA are Effective...
Reward if useful

Outline Agreement (Contract) data does not match with EKPO table.
Hi,
I have created a outline agreement(Contract) with net price as 100 / 1 Kg. But when I go to EKPO table in front of Net Price it is reflecting net price as 1 / 1 Kg. So it shows that it is dividing the net price by 100 in Table EKPO. This is happening with the currencies which are maintained in T Code OY04 (Currencies like JPY, CLP, ESP, ITL) with decimals as 0.
Rest all curriencies which have not maintained in OY04, there is no problem in EKPO as the data matches with Outline Agreement Net Price.
Request you to please provide the input to resolve the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Neeraj SinghHi Neeraj Singh,
The value of data stored in EKPO depends on the decimal places defined
for the currency. In standard the decimal places is taken as 2 . Therefore the value will be
the same as order price if the currency is defined for two decimal
places ( default is 2 ).
However, if the decimal places for JPY is defined as zero the table
will show a value of price /100. If you choose a currency with
3 decimal places the value in the table will be price * 10 and so on.
Example:
Currency Decimal places Order price Value in EKPO
SGD 2 2000 2000
NLG 2 2000 2000
JPY 0 2000 20
KWD (Kuwati Dinar) 3 2000 20000
ITL 0 2000 20
All currencies that do not have any decimal places at all
(TCURX-CURRDEC = 0) must have EKPO-NETPR multiplied by 100.
Please check SAP notes which may be of help to understand this issue 53206 and 137626
The issue you reported in not an error but standard. I hope this information is of help.

Girish.Hi,
Contract is outline purchasing agreement 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. So Process are ME01, ME11, ME31K with aggnrement type, ME51,ME21 & MIGO,
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. 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.So Process are ME01, ME11, ME31K with aggnrement type, ME38 & MIGO,
Service order or service PO is created with item Category "D" and an account assignment category as per ur requirement. U can not enter ur material here only u have to maintain short text of material. Example: You want to clean the boiler and u given contract to your Vendor. Vendor sends quotation mentioning that Rs.100/hr/Man head. Now how you will measure the cleaning activities of furnace? You can pay to contractor based on the hourly basis/ man head spent in cleaning activities. So in this case create the Purchase Order mentioning "Cleaning" in the short text in Item overview(Acc assignment ' K' or C or P and Item category 'D) and item details " Man Head" Service No , Gross price - Rs.100.00 and unit - hour ( or pick from Service master) and Quantity-number of hours spent by all man head.
The steps to create Service PO are:
1) Maintain Item Category as D & account assignment such as cost center Kor slaes orderC
2) Keep material code field blank.
3) Enter description of service & other fields in the PO Item Overview level. Press Enter.
4) System will prompt you to maintain services at Item Level. Maintain your service master number / service description & other fields (quantity / rate /)
5) Save the PO.

Outline agreement or automatic schedule from scheduling agreement
Hello Master's,
Plz find the below workflow which will brief u abt the complete process;-
1.User raises indent(me51n) and then releases(me54n) else as per our MRP, indent/PR gets generated automatically.
2. Standard Practice is that we invite offers, negotiate and place order (me21n) else f we have rate contract for any item we go for direct ordering (me21n) and then get it released (me29n)
For around 20-30k material codes we have rate contract finalized with various suppliers for a period of time.
When we find any indent/pr falling into this category, we dont invite offer but go for ordering as per the finalized price. The price is maintained in excel or pdf format.
Problem is we want to map material codes with vendor and rates associated with the contract.
For this either we have to go for outline agreement(me31k) of scheduling agreement(me31l) so that whenever any indent/PR gets generated in this category, order/delivery schedule will be generated automatically in SAP.
Points in which i need help from you:-
1. How to generate automatic po from outline agreement or automatic schedule from scheduling agreement.
2. complete understanding of the difference between outline agreement and scheduling agreement.Hi Nilson,
The data contained within the global outline agreement is distributed as purchasing contracts or scheduling agreements to the backend systems of the release-authorized purchasing organizations of the relevant corporate group. These purchasing organizations can then use the purchasing contracts or scheduling agreements according to the terms agreed centrally within the global outline agreement.
For more details.

Contracts/scheduling agreements
Hi,
Could anyone suggest me some useful links on contracts/ scheduling agreements?
Thanks in advance
AparnaDear,
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.
