What is the basic difference between Contract, Schedule Agreement & Schedule lines in Sale Order

what is the basic difference between Contract, Schedule Agreement & Schedule lines in Sale Order.

In VA01 also, the Order Quantity can be scheduled for future dates for multiple Invoices.

For my client who is doing export sales, i need to suggest the best option. So, understanding the basic difference will help me much in recommending the right solution to the Client's need.

Your valued inputs, appreciated in advance.

Hi,

Contract is nothing but a agreement terms & condition

Like start date-end date, price agreements,pay terms,specific materials& services

Schedule Agreement is used for delivery of goods/service at particular schedule date.

Schedule line means for this particular date you can deliver good/service.

This is calculated based backward scheduling/forward scheduling

Mostly used backward schedule - this consider production time,   procurement time if have,packing time,picking time,transportation time

By considering above factor system gives schedule line-date

For more & accurate usage of above point refer sap library
