| # Specifying purchase contracts To record the agreements that you made with a buy-from business partner, complete the following steps: Step 1. Purchase Contract - Lines (tdpur3600m000) Use this session to define the following: Purchase contract header Define the general data for a purchase contract header. The information to be defined is mainly related to the purchase business partner to whom the contract relates. On the contract header, you can also link a terms and conditions agreement. The terms and conditions agreement can be linked as follows in this session: Manually, by selecting an agreement from the Terms and Conditions (tctrm1100m000) session. By generating an agreement from a template, which is automatically linked to the contract header. Click Generate Terms and Conditions from Template on the appropriate menu to start the Generate Terms and Conditions from Template (tctrm2200m000) session. Contract header data refers to the Purchase Contracts (tdpur3100m000) session. Purchase contract lines Define purchase contract lines, which include the agreements with a purchase business partner about a certain item during a period of time. Contract line data refers to the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session. The following can be linked to a contract: Both a terms and conditions agreement and contract lines Only a terms and conditions agreement and no contract lines Only contract lines and no terms and conditions agreement For more information, refer to Overview of terms and conditions. Step 2. Purchase Contract Price Revisions (tdpur3103m000) Use the Purchase Contract Price Revisions (tdpur3103m000) session to record prices and discounts for the purchase contract line in a purchase contract price revision. However, If the contract line item is a configurable item, and the Option Based Pricing check box is selected in the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session, item prices are retrieved from the generic price list in Manufacturing and not from the Purchase Contract Price Revisions (tdpur3103m000) session. If no valid price and discount can be retrieved from the purchase contract, ERP Enterprise will continue searching for a price and discounts in other sources. For more information, refer to: To set up purchase contract price revisions Discount schedules on contracts Configured items on purchase schedules Price retrieval Discount retrieval Step 3. Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) Use the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session if you want purchase schedules with external business partners to be linked to the contract line. If you only use purchase schedules with internal business partners, you need not define a contract. Therefore, the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) session is not a mandatory session in the purchase contract procedure. The purchase contract line logistic data provides default values to the purchase schedule that is linked to the purchase contract line. If you do not specify logistic data, you cannot create a purchase schedule for an external business partner. For more information, refer to To set up contract line logistic data. Step 4. Delivery Contract (tdpur3104m000) If you define a contract and you already know the time-phased delivery details, in the Delivery Contract (tdpur3104m000) session, you can create a delivery contract instead of a purchase schedule. A delivery contract is not a real schedule, but a schedule solution to generate purchase orders in time. For more information, refer to Setting up a delivery contract.
