Work InstructionFunctional Area: Purchasing Change Term Contract
Purpose
Use this procedure to change a term contract.
Trigger
Perform this procedure when the TABS interface is not able to upload and overwrite an existing Term Contract when a change to the contract needs to be made.
Prerequisites
Material Master and Vendor Master records must already exist in SAP. Term Contract printout (TC award and TC Change Order documents) from TABS is needed
to manually enter the contract in SAP. Target Value (not to exceed value) from TABS is also needed.
Menu Path
Use the following menu path to begin this transaction:
Select Logistics Materials Management Purchasing Outline Agreement Contract Change to go the Change Contract: Initial Screen.
Transaction Code
ME32K
Helpful Hints
The R/O/C column in the field description tables below defines whether the field is required (R), optional (O), or conditional (C).
On certain screens you may have to scroll to view some data entry fields. Contracts in the SAP system are referred to as Outline Agreements. However the University
will continue to refer to contracts as Term Contracts. A Term Contract consists of two general types of items:
1) A non-catalog item which is a specifically identified item with a firm price.2) A catalog item which usually represents a published catalog or price list on which a discount is being offered by the vendor.
Material Master records are the basic data for non-catalog items on the Term Contract, including the short text description of the item, and any additional/extended text. Catalog items do not have a material master record.
If a change to a material master record needs to be made, it needs to be done prior to changing the contract. The information must be updated in both places.
Term contracts in TABS have multiple vendors. These contracts are split in SAP so that each of the resulting contracts only has one vendor per contract. The contract numbers for the resulting SAP contracts are the same, except for the last two digits, which identify the term contract’s vendor number in TABS.
