Hi,

For your benefit I copy pasted relevant part from config doc.

Making Settings for Contract Negotiation

These settings have an effect when negotiating a contract from the contract management

application in SAP Enterprise Buyer or from SAP Bidding Engine.

These settings apply identically to the negotiation of global outline agreements.

The SRM system offers the followig possibilities to set up the contract negotiation:

u2022 Using the transaction type Customizing.

We strongly recommend this user-independent alternative.

See path in the SAP Implementation Guide (IMG) for Supplier Relationship

Management: SRM Server ® Cross-Application Basic Settings ® Defining

Transaction Types.

u2022 Using transaction PPOMA_BBP and defining the following user attributes in the

organizational plan:

TEND_TYPE

Determines the transaction type for bid invitations

CT_PROC_TYPE

Determines the transaction type for purchase contracts

When using the negotiate function the system always creates a bid invitation. Within the

related bid, submitted by the bidder, the system offers the following options to conclude the

process.

u2022 Update the contract that is currently used

u2022 Create a new contract

Prerequisite

For the bid invitation-related transaction type (for example, RFCR) that you are using for

contract negotiation, in the above-mentioned IMG activity Defining Transaction Types, in the

Process Control section of the view Transaction Type Details, you have marked the Becomes

a Contract indicator.

Setting up the transaction type for the update process

1. Using transaction SPRO and the IMG activity Defining Transaction Types, in the view

Transaction Object Types select the table entry with business transaction category

BUS2000113.

2. In the navigation tree, select Transaction types.

3. Select a contract-specific transaction type, for example, PCTR.

4. In the navigation tree, select Transaction Types of Follow-on Documents.

Make sure the table contains an entry with the following data:

business transaction category: BUS2000113

transaction type (as selected above): PCTR

subsequent object type: BUS2200

follow-up transaction type: (for example) RFCR

or another bid invitation- specific transaction type that you use for contract

negotiation.

Hi Mr Vinay,

When contracts are about to expire or when you want to go for renegotiate existing contract terms you can go for this contract negotiation option. Here by hitting contract negotiate button a follow on bid invitation will be created. Now what type bid invitation you want can controlled by 1) Setting TEND_TYPE attribute in Org structure

2) through the define transaction types route. With this you can change an existing contract or create a new one.

Best rgds,

RRK
