CoPos (Contract Position)

A CoPos is a single agreed line item within a contract, specifying what has been committed: which article, in what quantity, at what quality level, for what unit price, and under which conditions. Together, the CoPos entries of a contract define its entire substantive content — the contract header provides the administrative and commercial framework, while the positions carry the actual trading commitments.

In the stock management workflow, CoPos records play a critical role in fulfillment tracking. Each CoPos stores both the contracted quantity and the actually booked quantity, giving trading teams a clear view of how much of each commitment has already been physically fulfilled through transaction positions (TransPos) and how much remains open. Quality attributes (quality level, packing type) on the CoPos ensure that fulfillment through transactions is validated against the agreed specifications, not just the agreed quantity. This makes the CoPos the key reconciliation point between what was agreed on paper and what actually moved through the warehouse.
