A value contract is a legal agreement with a customer that contains the materials and services that the customer receives within a specified time period, and for a value up to a specified target value. In this scope item, the internal sales representative creates a sales quantity or value contract. Following this, a call-off order is created against the contract.

Once the down payments are received, the delivery block is removed automatically. In the delivery related final invoice of the call-off order, the received down payments for the quantity contract is deducted.
