Hi,

You may consider PO as a contract but it's short term contract which is
valid for 1 transaction only. But outline agreement is a long term contract.
It may be value contract or quantity contract within a defined span of time.
Each and every time you will require the material, you will need to raise a
release order against that contract. Contracts help a lot for those
materials which undergoes price fluctuation frequently. On the other hand,
Scheduling Agreement is also a long term contract but here you don't need to
raise release order each time. You just need to send delivery schedule
against that scheduling agreement.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks.
