Can anyone please tell me the difference between PCTR and CCTR. I assume that the PCTR also behaves as a central contract if you distribute them and it will go thro PI. Is there any restriction to have the PCTR as a central contract? is there any differences in these two contract document types in the SRM 7.02?
In fact, types CCTR and PCTR both belongs to central contract. CCTR is standard transaction types for central contract. There is no difference of technical design between their distribution.
PCTR - local conrtact in SRM for using in SRM as source of supply and
GCTR - global outline agreements which is distributed to ERP and used in ERP only as souce of supply.
As of SRM 7.0 CCTR - central contract was intoduced with a comination of GCTR and PCTR in terms of function and this can be used as source of supply in both SRM and ERP systems.
The main difference is that it uses new ESOA services for distribution and updation.
If the client doesnt have XI/PI then WSRM process can be used to transfer Contracts from SRM to eCC. Please find the beneth link below for more information.
I know GCTR and CCTR .. my question is PCTR has the same option (even you can distribute the PCTR contract) as CCTR. Why cant I use the PCTR as a central contract and distribute the same PCTR to ECC (without creating CCTR type there in ECC). I don't see any technical or functional problem here when using PCTR.. do you disagree???
There is a slight difference in between the CCTR and PCTR.
PCTR is created in SRM and valid as local source of supply. In other words it is valid only for local and Extended classic scenario.
However, CCTR works first as local SRM contract and can be distributed on item and purchasing organization basis to one or multiple SAP ERP backend systems. The leading contract for price determination is is the SRM contract. The distributed contract in ERP is also read only (changes only via SRM central contract) but regarding source of supply determination it behaves like a contract created directly in MM.
I hope this will help. For settings please check note, 1268821.
Hi.. the discussion in that link is bit confusing. it says only way to identify the central contract is CCTR type. I don't think so.. It sees Ivy is correct that PCTR and CCTR behaves in the same manner. Do you think the PCTR cannot be distributed and used like central contract in ERP?
When the SRM system transmits the data of the SRM central contract to the ERP system, it also transfers the document type. The standard document type for distributed contracts in SAP SRM is CCTR. This document type must also exist in SAP ERP. For this reason, define this document type in Customizing for Materials Management, under Purchasing >> Contract>> Define Document Types .
So basically For the contracts created and used in ECC it is PCTR . This is what my understanding says Please refer to the link as below
