An outline agreement is a long-term agreement between a vendor and a customer. Outline agreements are created in SAP to streamline and automate the procurement process. There are three types of outline agreements:

-Quantity contracts
-Value contracts
-Delivery schedules

To create an outline agreement, go to Transaction ME21N. Enter the vendor, material, and plant. Choose the type of outline agreement from the dropdown menu. Enter the validity period of the agreement. Optionally, you can enter a reference number.

Click on the Schedule Lines tab. Enter the quantity or value you are contracting for, the unit of measure, and the price. Optionally, you can specify a minimum order quantity and a lead time.

Click on the Conditions tab. Enter any conditions that apply to the outline agreement, such as discounts or transportation charges.

Click Save.
