Quantity Contracts and Scheduling Agreements

Quantity Contracts and Scheduling Agreements in Sap Sales and Distribution (SD)

In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), Contracts and Scheduling Agreements are essential tools for managing long-term commitments with customers. This document provides a detailed walkthrough of two powerful document types: Quantity Contracts and Scheduling Agreements, both of which help automate fulfillment and streamline planning processes in sales.

We begin with the Quantity Contract, a long-term agreement focused on a committed quantity of materials over a specific period. Through a real-time scenario involving a customer committing to purchasing laptops and desktops from HP, you’ll learn how to configure the contract using key SAP T-codes such as:

  • VOV8 for sales document types (CQ)
  • VOV7, VOV4, VOV5 for item category and schedule line settings
  • VA41 to create contracts
  • VA01 and VA43 to monitor referenced sales orders and overall status

The document then moves to the Scheduling Agreement, which introduces predefined delivery dates and quantities without the need to create separate sales orders. The configuration involves:

  • VA31 to create the agreement
  • VL01N, VL02N, VF01 to manage deliveries, PGI, and billing

These agreements help ensure a steady flow of goods aligned with confirmed schedules, reducing manual intervention and enhancing supply chain reliability.
