Points To Be Considered;

  • General contracts are price controlled contracts without specified materials or services. Discount, expense and promotion cannot be applied to the line if the type is ‘general’.
  • Analysis details or delivery information or delivery transactions located in the right clickmenu cannot be defined for general contracts.
  • When attempting to perform ‘contract transaction transfer’ through orders or invoices, general contracts are not listed.
