# Overview

Multiple contracts can be created for the same supplier and products if required.  You will be able to enter the start and end date of the contract, together with the product ID and agreed unit price or discount off the supplier standard cost.
>

> 
> > ⚠️ **Important:** The feature code **SCP **must be active in order to use this functionality,
