CONTRACTS

[Former Member]

My client has a customer who is globally located .....every year the global customer gives a contract to my client and asks to ship the material across his offices located globally...say one office in malaysia,Uk,one in germany....sometimes the order may come from the customer from US/GERMANY ....referring the same contract.

And every time a salesorder is created for all the orders the qty has to get decreased from the same contract.

Shall i need to have a customer hierarchy and in that case can i refer to the same contract........or do i need to create a on single contract on the main customer and add the reamining customers as partner functions

Dear Saurav ,

In this case, since the contract has been signed by main customer, and order will be generated by the same customer, then you need to put other customer as a different partner function like Ship-to-party, bill-to party, etc.

but if the sale order will be placed by the branch office/ so, then either you can go for a new parner function as a buyer partnerwhich will be similar to sold to party. or you can go for herarchy.

I will suggest you go for herarchy structure, where the main customer will be parent customer, and the orders will be created on his name, with reference to contract. this will help you in credit control, as in this kind of scenario credit management a is a big issue.

Reward points if it helps
