Contract Alert prior to expiration

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Gurus,

I currrently have SAP R/3 4.7 installed.

And i have a request from one of my users to assist with configuring the SAP application such that there should be an alert or all release orders against a contract created in SAP should be disallowed when the contract (time or value) has been utilized to 85% of the contract expiration date or value.

This is to give them allowance execute a fresh bid for a new contract for the service or material before the current contract expires.

Does anyone know how to accomplish for my currently installed SAP application.

Any advice as to how to achieve this will be highly apprciated.

Thanks

Hi

Automatic alert for contract validation expiration is not avaible as part of standard SAP functionality.

Only option is that you have to create customize report which can run in background which will check from table EKKO validation date i.e. compare the end date and system date, logic in report can calculate whether 85% of validity is over or not and based on that it can send e mail to contract creator.

Other point as far as your contract is available system allows to create Po from that, so you need to close or end the validity of contract based on report output i.e. e mail alert to concern contract creator.

I hope this helps.
