Making Settings for Local Purchase
Contracts
Use
SAP Enterprise Buyer provides all relevant settings for purchase contracts. You can create new transaction types.
If you want to use your own contract types that are different from the default (pctr) included in the standard shipment, you need to create corresponding transaction types.
If you want to transfer the data of a local contract to an SAP catalog, you must specify a backend system for the catalog in the backend destination table.
