MM Cookbook - Create Contract

By Subhajeet Behera

Contract is an agreement between the vendor and the company to supply goods and services as per the agreed terms and condition.  

At the time of negotiating, it may not be clear as of how much is required and when it is required. In such a situation, an open contract can be released on the vendor.  

Every contract must be followed by a release order which is nothing but a normal PO with reference to the contract.  

Contracts can be release centrally or with specific to plant. In case of multiple plants, central contract can be released and release order specific to each plants can be released.
