Leveraging Purchase Agreements in D365 for Better Procurement Management
Introduction
Purchase agreement is a type of commitment between buyer and seller, to buy a specified quantity or amount by using multiple purchase orders over a period from a specified vendor, so that the Organization/buyer receives special prices and discounts.
Prices and discounts of the purchase agreement override the prices and discounts that are specified in any trade agreements that exist.
