Contracts are agreements with the vendor to supply materials or services under negotiated conditions and within a certain period. • Contracts are differentiated as follows: • Quantity contracts: An agreement that a company will order a certain quantity of a product during a specified period. • Value contracts: A contract in which the purchase of goods or services up to a total value is agreed. • In source determination, contracts replace the purchasing info records and can be assigned in the source list as the fixed source for MRP. • Target groups are purchasing managers as well as buyers • Purchase requisitions and purchase orders are created after the contract, if they do not exist yet.
