In this process step, you find out about the agreements for the existing value contract. As this process chain assumes a precisely defined difference between the target value of the contract and the value used until now, you may need to change the previous target value.

The system branches to the Product Hierarchy dialog box.

The sales department has a three-level product hierarchy (main group, group, subgroup). The generic entry 0011000105* in the product hierarchy field, defines that the value contract refers to materials belonging to the paint colors group, or its subgroups. When releases are made from this value contract, the system checks whether the ordered materials belong to one of the product hierarchies listed here.
The contract item is coupled with a price agreement. This agreement specifies that a discount of 10 % is to be awarded with all contract release orders.

On the Change Value Contract (IDES) ####: Header Data screen, you can see that the rule Check partner of customer hierarchy applies to the release check. This rule states that a partner wishing to release against a contract, is authorized to carry out this release if they are the sold-to party of the contract, or if they are assigned to the sold-to party of the contract at a lower hierarchy level.
