Terms Description
Free Text Items Items requested without referring to the SAP material master.
Enhanced Limits A part of lean service procurement, in SAP, an enhanced limit is an item
category in a purchase order that defines a maximum amount for ordering
unplanned services. It is used to simplify the service procurement process
and make it more transparent.
Overall Limit The maximum value that the total of all unplanned services (or the value of
the material) covered by the document item may not exceed. When services
performed are entered in service entry sheets (or at the time of goods receipt
in the case of materials), the system checks the entered values about
adherence to this maximum value. If the overall limit is exceeded, it issues an
appropriate message.
Expected Value The value that the unplanned services (or the material) covered by this item
are not expected to exceed.
Schedule Line A schedule line is the division of an item in a purchase order according to
date and quantity. For example, if the total quantity of an item can only be

4. Scenario 1: Copy and Create Purchase Contracts for Contract Hierarchy Creation
Contract hierarchies in purchasing involve structuring agreements between suppliers and buyers at different levels, where a "parent" contract could
define overarching terms, and "child" contracts inherit and specify additional details tailored to specific needs. This structure ensures consistent
compliance with master terms while allowing flexibility for localized or specialized arrangements.
Within this test case you can test a first lean version of the envisioned contract hierarchy functionality. You will create a contract hierarchy with one
“parent” contract where three sub-contracts are added. Contract Hierarchies can be used for reporting purposes e.g. to get an overview of the
consumption of all related contracts.
In a first step the required contracts need to be created via copying the contracts from provided templates.
