• Key Concepts: 
  An OLTP scheduling agreement is a type of procurement agreement used in SAP's Collaborative Procurement (CPR) component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) application. It is a contract between a buyer and a supplier that outlines the terms and conditions of a purchase, including the quantity, delivery date, and payment terms. The agreement is stored in the SAP system and can be used to automate the ordering process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create an OLTP scheduling agreement, the buyer must first enter the details of the agreement into the SAP system. This includes the supplier, product, quantity, delivery date, and payment terms. Once the agreement is created, it can be used to automatically generate purchase orders when needed. The buyer can also use the agreement to track deliveries and payments from the supplier. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an OLTP scheduling agreement, it is important to ensure that all details are accurate and up-to-date. This will help to ensure that orders are generated correctly and that payments are made on time. It is also important to review the agreement periodically to ensure that it still meets the needs of both parties.
