Enter the Purchase Contract Number for the output material. This can be a new contract number, which will close out the original purchase (input) contract and create a new purchase contract. You can also use an existing purchase contract number to place material on an existing contract as a new contract item. 
Enter the account and shipment terms for this document. Choose **Save** to continue. (Cancel will undo changes and cancel the new production)
