Notes on Assigning Contracts 

In the master data, you can assign a purchasing document of category K (contract) to a disposal channel or to a waste disposer that was specified in a waste approval. This contract is then used automatically under certain conditions when you create a purchase order from the SAP component disposal processing (see Determination of a Valid Contract from the Master Data). The purchase order is created for the disposal of the waste that was created in the entry document. In other words, this waste is used as a material in the purchase order. The waste disposer that was specified in the entry document is used as the vendor in the purchase order. This means, the vendor is used that was assigned to this waste disposer in the master data (see Assigning Integration Objects).

When assigning a contract to the disposal channel or to the waste disposer in the waste approval, you must note the following:

·        The vendor in the contract must correspond to the vendor that was assigned to the waste disposer in the master data. For a disposal channel, this condition must be fulfilled for the waste disposer contained in the disposal channel. In other words, you can only assign a disposal channel a contract containing the vendor that was assigned to this waste disposer in the master data.

·        When you assign a contract, you must specify the item in the contract. You must take into account the fact that a contract for the purchase order of the disposal of a waste can only be used if the item specified is not marked for deletion and if, in addition, one of the following conditions is fulfilled:

¡        The item in the contract contains the waste.

¡        The item in the contract does not contain a material, but does contain the material group that was specified in the material master for the waste.

This means that you can only assign a disposal channel a contract containing the waste for the disposal channel in the specified item, or containing the material group specified in the material master for the waste in the specified item. For assigning a contract to a waste disposer in the waste approval, this means that this condition must be fulfilled for the wastes in all disposal channels that have been assigned to the waste approval.
