Helpful Hints
  • The R/O/C column in the field description tables below defines whether the field is required (R), optional (O), or conditional (C).
  • On certain screens you may have to scroll to view some data entry fields.
  • Contracts in the SAP system are referred to as Outline Agreements. However, the University will continue to refer to contracts as Term Contracts.
  • A Term Contract consists of two general types of items: 1) a non-catalog item which is a specifically identified item with a firm price, and 2) a catalog item which usually represents a published catalog or price list on which a discount is being offered by the vendor.
  • Material Master records are the basic data for non-catalog items on the Term Contract, including the short text description of the item, and any additional/extended text. Catalog items do not have a Material Master record.
  • Term Contracts in TABS have multiple vendors. These contracts are split in SAP so that each of the resulting contracts only has one vendor per contract. The contract numbers for the resulting SAP contracts are the same, except for the last two digits, which identify the Term Contract’s vendor number in TABS.
