Rejecting a Contract

[felipe_uribe]

Hi folks,

I have a requirement from my Client, They want to reject the contract which is created in ME31K and released over ME35K. As far I know, this document can't be rejected (Not canceling release functionality).

There's a way to do that? And if it is, how can I do that?, If it doesn't exist an standarsolution and I have to implement it, how could I handled tha status for this document when it is rejected, to avoid keep releasing over the next levels?

Thanks a lot every one.

Regards

Felipe Uribe

hi,

Contract is not legal document... you need to create Po based on Contract. So there is no function like rejection of contract, but just delete the line item (In ME32K) and you can inform the vendor.

Hope it helps..

Priyanka,

Who told you that contract is not a legal document? Contract is as legal a document as a PO.

Felipe,

I am not sure what you mean by rejecting a contract. If you mean that you want to back out of a contract entered with vendor, you need to discuss it with vendor first.

If he is OK (usually vendors accept it if you are a big customer for them), then you can delete the line items and send a "Change" printout to the vendor.

Hope this answers,

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your opportune answer, the fact is that They want to have a release process for contract in the same way than PO works, in that case, if you reject the contract, this one must stop the release strategy until It gets corrected by the creator, then according with the modification done to the document, It could get back to the level where It was rejected to continue the release way or just reset the release strategy to star it again from the first level .

The contract could be rejected for wrong information in text, values, dates or any other field and the creator can decide if he drop the line or just modify it to solve the problem.

Thanks again

Hi,

If the contract is subjected release strategy and want to modify the Contract after the Release, then after discussing with the Vendor you can modify the contract.

So first cancel the release in ME35 with Particular release codes.

After canceling all the release codes, modify the Contract in ME32K as per your changes, then again release the Contract with ME35 then send the Modified contract to Vendor.

Hope this will solve your problem

Hi

If you would like to delete contract if vendor is ok then delete line items.

If you like to keep contract and dont want purchase order to be released then cancel purchase order by deleting line items.

hope this helps.
