The information from the terms of the contract, such as payment terms, delivery terms and delivery address, is then copied into the order header. If the order contains one or more items for products or categories covered by the contract, the prices and discounts of the purchase contract will be used for those items. The amount or quantity on the purchase order item contributes to the performance of the obligation in the purchase contract. The same order can contain both lines that are not linked to a purchase contract and lines that contain an obligation for a purchase contract.
