Hi Ganesh,

Individual PO is nothing but,the business places an order to the VENDOR for getting the stock which is not there with you and the vendor will ship directly to you.

Coming to Scheduling Agreement>these are agreements which business has with customers->They contain delivery dates and quantities to be delivered--->these dates are then entered as schedule lines.

To configure Scheduling Agreement,

IMG->Sales &Dist.>Sales->sales Doc.->Scheduling Agreement with delivery schedules->Def.Schedule line types.

Contract on the other hand are with customers based on material,price,quantity over a fixed period of time.They take different form,say Quantity Contract,Service Contract and Value Contracts.

hope this clears your doubt.

Encourage with points.

Hi,

A customer <b>scheduling agreement</b> is an outline agreement with the customer containing delivery quantities and dates. These are then entered as schedule lines in a delivery schedule. You can either create schedule lines when you create the scheduling agreement or you can create them later.

You fulfill a scheduling agreement by creating the deliveries in the schedule as they become due. You process deliveries for a scheduling agreement in exactly the same way as you process a normal delivery. After you have carried out the delivery, the system updates the Delivered quantity field in the scheduling agreement item with the delivery quantity. The following graphic shows the document flow for scheduling agreements.

<b>Customer contracts</b> are outline customer agreements that display when sales materials or services are sold within a certain time period.

The standard version of the SAP R/3 System contains the following categories of contracts:

Master Contracts

The master contract is a document in which you can group contracts together as lower level contracts. Thus, all the data that refers to other documents remains consistent. The master contract contains the general terms which apply for all lower level contracts.

Quantity Contracts

A quantity contract is an agreement that your customer will order a certain quantity of a product from you during a specified period. The contract contains basic quantity and price information, but does not specify delivery dates or quantities.

Value Contracts

A value contract is a contractual agreement with a customer that contains the materials and/or services that they may receive within a time period and up to a target value. A value contract can contain certain materials or a group of materials (product hierarchy, assortment module).

Service Contracts

A service contract is an agreement that contains the conditions for offering a certain service to the customer. You can manage rental and maintenance contracts in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System. A service contract contains validity dates, cancellation conditions, price agreements, and information on possible follow-up actions.

Individual purchase order is when we take the goods from the vendor based on a purchase order by the customer and supply to him. Here we do the MIGO.

Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.

Thanks & Regards
