# Supplier contract

A **supplier contract** is a legal agreement whereby a supplier undertakes to deliver goods or provide services to a company, according to defined terms and conditions.

In **SIMAX**, the **contract** centralizes all the information needed to manage renewals and alerts related to deadlines.

*<mark style="color:orange;">**This is the case of the contract between MASOCIETE and Boulangerie du Vieux Moulin:**</mark>*

**La Boulangerie du Vieux Moulin** signs a supplier contract with **MASOCIETE** whereby it undertakes to deliver a specified number of baguettes every morning at a fixed price, with accurate **deadline** of **12 months**, and penalties for late or incomplete deliveries.

**La Boulangerie du Vieux Moulin** signs a supplier contract with **MASOCIETE**, whereby it undertakes to deliver a specified number of baguettes every morning at a fixed price, within specific time limits, for **12 months**.

At the end of this period:

* If **MYCOMPANY** checks the box **|Tacit renewal|**, the contract is automatically renewed for a new period (for example, an additional year).
* The end date is then extended by the **Renewal Duration.**

## **Implementation**

To create a supplier contract, go to **Purchase > Contract > List supplier Contracts**, then click **\[\[New]].**

*<mark style="color:red;">**Note:**</mark>*

* **The alert date** is recalculated in order to notify the internal department (e.g., purchasing or administrative department) before the new deadline.
* The **“Alert sent”** box is automatically unchecked to allow tracking of the new contract cycle.

However, if the **|Tacit renewal|** box is unchecked, the contract will end on the scheduled date and will not be automatically renewed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.simax.fr/documentation-simax-anglais/functional/purchase/supplier-contract.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
