Import template for agreement contracts

You can use framework agreements to keep track of quantity and price agreement contracts with your customers and suppliers in tracezilla.

All relevant orders with the trading partner automatically gets tracked by the contracts, so you can monitor the fulfillment of the framework agreement continuously.

A framework agreement is a contract between supplier and customer, which covers a given time period and sets the conditions of following agreements. Framework agreements are often made when establishing a collaboration.

A framework agreement often includes:

  • A specification of the the time period.
  • Agreements regarding special situations, e.g. whether the agreement can be terminated, and if so, how (on what grounds) or force majeure, ie. discharge if one cannot deliver due to war, pandemics, strike, etc.
  • Agreements regarding regulation / change in the agreement, and whether it is possible to deviate from the agreement, e.g. place an order that is not covered by the agreement.

Framework agreements can then result in individual agreements (purchase and sale agreements). The framework agreement itself will often be stated as an appendix to the individual agreements.

In tracezilla you can enter all your agreement contracts. The individual agreements contain information about what is to be delivered, where it is to be delivered, at what price and within what period.

You can get an overview of the progress of the individual contracts, which are calculated on the basis of your orders in tracezilla.

When adding contracts, you set up rules for which orders are to be included in the calculation, by specifying a limitation method of Stock Keeping unit, Tag of Stock Keeping Unit (a group of SKUs) or Revenue. You can also set up rules, so only specific orders are included.
