Inbound Delivery Agreement Overview

The Inbound Delivery Agreement Overview screen lists all delivery agreements between you and your suppliers. You have one agreement per product with each supplier. The delivery agreement regulates how the product is delivered.

If you double-click on a row (an agreement), you open the Inbound Delivery Agreement Detail screen, where you can view the details of the agreement.

You cannot modify or create SMI delivery agreements with suppliers that are using either PipeChain or PipeChain WebAccess. Instead the suppliers create or modify the SMI delivery agreements. The exception is information about blanket purchase orders in your purchase system.
