Connect Customer Order to Sales Contract
Explanation
This activity is used to connect a customer order to an existing sales contract,
in order to deliver the goods necessary for the contract.
Prerequisites
- A sales contract header and item must exist.
- A sales part must not have been connected to the item line of the sales
contract.
- The same site must be used, if any, on the sales contract header.
- If the site is not specified, the same company must be used by the order
and contract.
- The customer order must be in the Planned status.
- The sales contract must be in the Active status.
System Effects
- The customer order will be added to the sales contract on the item line.
- The sales contract will be connected to the customer order header.
- Once the full quantity is delivered, the customer order will be closed
and will reach the Invoiced/Closed status. No billing will take place within
the customer order invoice.
- It will not be possible to enter any charges on the customer order
as it will not be invoiced.
- The price on the lines will not reflect the real price the customer
has to pay, as no invoicing takes place when a contract is connected. In
order to avoid problems with the credit check, use zero as the price for
the sales parts.
