PURCHASE CONTRACTS

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

I'd like to know how I could create a purchase contracts (in S4 cloud) for:

- electricity, telephone,....

- fees (lawyers for ex.)

- assets (leases, rental charges,...)

For that type of purchase we don't have any purchase requisition and we only work with contracts. Then once the invoice is coming we assign it to the contract but I didn't find any category for such type of purchases.

If anyone knows, let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Paulette,

As an alternative you can consider PO w/ limit item. Please take a look at the Best Practice scope item 22Z (Procurement of Services):

https://rapid.sap.com/bp/#/browse/categories/sap_s%4hana/areas/cloud/packageversions/BP_CLD_ENTPR/S4...

particulary section 4.3.3. Create PO.

This way you can setup PO items with validity period and Overall limit you can simply post supplier invoices against (no GR or service entry sheet required).

If you wait 3-4 more days, you can have the 1805 version of this scope item as well.

Best,

Gabor

Hi Carlos and Maria,

Well noted, thanks for your reply.

And regarding the contract itself, how would you create a contract for electricity for ex.?

I mean do I have to add a specific Material Group for it? Then, give a description in the Notes part?

Or any other way?

Please let me know if you have any idea.

Regards,

Paulette

Hi Paulette,

As Carlos already replied you can´t post an invoice against a contract.

You will need a Purchase order.

Hi Paulette,

We had the same question asked a few months ago. To confirm, the requirement is to have the ability to post supplier invoices against a contract. The product management team indicated that it is functionality not currently supported.
