Hi,

Purhasing contracts are contracts created in SRM only and never accesed in ERP system. This contract can be used as source of supply in SRM only.

Central contracts are the contracts created in SRM and then distributed to ERP system and YES you can access this contract with me33k. Here the SRM contract and ERP distributed contracts will have the same document number. This contract can be used as source of supply in both ERP and SRM system.

Please note that SRM central contract is the main document where you can make changes and the same contract is displayed in ERP with minimal data.
