Conditions are agreements made with suppliers about prices, discounts and surcharges, freight costs, and so on. Such conditions can be stored in quotations, info records, outline agreements, and purchase orders (POs).
You can also maintain general conditions at supplier level. The system then also applies these conditions to determine the price in purchasing documents. You can manually enter further conditions in the purchasing document itself.
An outline purchase agreement is a long-term agreement with a supplier covering the supply of materials or the provision of services, subject to predetermined conditions. These apply for a predefined period and a predefined total purchase quantity or certain total purchase value.
For long-term outline agreements, you can also store several condition records for each item if, for example, the outline agreement is to last five years and prices within this validity period are to decrease annually by 3%.
