Framework purchase order

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

What is meant by "Framework Purchase Order"?

What are the types of contract maintained in MM module?

Also, what is the difference in creating a purchase order for service contract and other contracts using BAPI?

Regards,

Hi,

A framework order is a purchase order with the document type FO in the standard system. It has an extended validity period instead of a specific delivery date.

Normally value contract or quantity contracts are maintained in MM. In value contract, the contract validity exists till that particular target value is reached; after that it expires. In quantity contract, the contract is valid upto the target quantity.
