Hey everyone. I'm just starting to learn AX 2012. I was wondering what the differences are between trade agreements vs. sales/purchase agreements. Thanks in advance.

    RE: Trade Agreements vs. Sales/Purchase Agreements

    Trade agreements relate to unit pricing, and form "pricing rules" by which orders and quotes arrive at said unit pricing.  Trade agreements are typically the intersection of items (or item groups) and customers/vendors (or their respective groups), and based on date and quantity ranges.

    Sales/purchase agreements are the AX 2012 reincarnation of the blanket order.  They are super-orders that specify an amount or quantity of items or categories to purchase or be purchased over a period of time.  Actual sales/purchase orders are "released" from these agreements much in the way that blanket orders could release standard orders in previous versions of AX.  This is in contrast to quotations (specifically sales quotations) that are complete orders but do not become orders until they are confirmed into orders in whole.

    Hope this helps.
