Contracts are confirmed in the same way as purchase orders are.

The quantity is validated against the release quantity of the contract item, not against the target quantity. The net unit price is validated against the net unit price of the contract item. There is no delivery date for contracts.

In contrast to scheduling agreements and purchase orders, the contract does not contain any confirmation items. For this reason, the confirmation items are not linked to the contract once they have been posted.

As in the case of the purchase order, the confirmation number, confirmation control, and confirmation requirement indicator are adopted in the contract item.
