It is possible to enter an assortment to a purchase agreement instead of entering multiple parts having the same terms regarding discount and additional cost. Of course, the direct price cannot be specified. No-number parts can also be included in a supplier assortment and thereby be included in a purchase agreement.
The supplier assortment is specific to the combination of purchase part and supplier, as opposed to the purchase group, which is specific to the purchase part. With this connection, the discounts and additional costs can be defined for a combination of supplier and purchase part. In supplier assortment step pricing, connected to the supplier agreement, you can enter whether you are to receive a larger discount and/or a smaller additional cost when you purchase more from the same supplier. Cumulative values for your purchases will be stored in connection to the supplier assortment step pricing.
By using the supplier assortment concept, you can use the same purchase part (and inventory part) and still enter any different discount and additional cost when purchasing from different suppliers. Supplier assortment is a control type in the posting control.
The purchase agreement can be retrieved to purchase order lines for the included assortments if there is a valid period and if the status of the purchase agreement allows purchasing. The assortment must either be connected to the combination of supplier and purchase part or entered manually on the purchase order line.
