Barter Deal Contract - SAP Documentation

Definition

Variant of the standard contract that is used to manage the mutual exchange of goods and services between organizations.

Use

You want to manage barter deals with and without financial transactions and use barter deal contracts to monitor these mutual agreements.

You want to place ads for an airline in return for discounted flight tickets. You negotiate the following agreement: The airline receives 50% discount on all ads sold up to a maximum order volume of 2 million USD. In return, you receive 10% discount on all flight tickets sold up to a sales volume of 4 million USD.

Note Note

If services in a barter deal are to be performed without any means of payment being transferred, you can create a discount/bonus contract with 100% discount.

End of the note.

Structure

Barter deal contracts have the same structure as standard contracts.

If you want to use barter deal contracts, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

You have indicated in Customizing that barter deal contracts are admissible in the sales area specified.

Admissibility of barter deal contracts	Barter deal	SAP Media Advertising Management Sales Contract Settings for Specific Sales Areas Make General Settings Contract creation tab page

You have created a standard contract, selected the Barter deal indicator on the Business Data screen and assigned a barter deal requirement to the barter deal contract.

The procedure for determining discount conditions in barter deal contracts is the same as that for standard contracts.

Integration

A billing dataset can be assigned to a barter deal contract during contract determination if it fulfills the following requirements:

The billing dataset does not fulfill any exclusion requirement.
The service date for the billing dataset falls within the validity period of the barter deal contract.
The billing dataset fulfills an inclusive requirement but not an exclusive requirement in the barter deal contract.

An item category that describes a barter deal has been specified in the elements of the barter deal requirement. An item category describes a barter deal if the Barter business deal indicator has been selected in Customizing.

You can define item categories as follows in Customizing:

Define	Menu path
Item categories	SAP Media Advertising Management Sales Order Sales Documents Sales Document Item Definition of Item Categories

The billing dataset is of the Barter deal item category. This means that you have chosen the Create with item category function when you created the sales document.

If the Note if no barter deal found indicator has been selected in Customizing, the system informs the user processing the order if no barter deal contract was found for a barter deal order or if the barter deal contract has already been fulfilled when they confirm the order data. The system assigns billing datasets to the barter deal contract, even if this contract is already fulfilled.

The Note if no barter deal found indicator can be selected as follows in Customizing:
