Understanding Buying Agreements

Through the use of buying agreements, structure flexible and easy-to-use buying arrangements for customers or groups of customers. A buying agreement is a schedule between you and the customer defining terms and conditions. Buying agreements enable you to:

Define a beginning and ending date and a maximum amount.
Specify the minimum dollar value per order placed.
Define certain shipping defaults for all sales orders.
Define all products and product groups that are to be included.
Define special pricing terms for a customer or customer group.
Maximum and minimum line item ordering quantities for each line item.
Generate sales orders automatically when the customers know in advance when products are needed.
Create sales orders in situations where shipment scheduling is unknown.
Create rebates and penalties.

Ship From INV BU (ship from inventory business unit)	The highest-priority Inventory business unit, the one with the highest priority assigned number in the ship to customer’s distribution network, is used as the default in the field. This field is unavailable for entry if you define the buying agreement for a customer group or if the line references a product group.
Net Unit Price	If you enter this field, you cannot enter an exclusive pricing ID. If the buying agreement applies to a product group, enter a single net unit price, which the system uses for all products in the group.
