Enter Purchase Address Info

Explanation

Use this activity to enter general purchase address information, such as supplier contact, delivery term, and ship via code for a specific supplier address identity.

The delivery terms defines who assumes the responsibility and the costs for the delivery, for example, Delivery Duty Paid (DDP), Free On Board (FOB), Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF). To be able to fully determine the extent of responsibility and the costs, it is necessary to define an exact location. Depending on the delivery term this can be, e.g., a port of shipment, port of destination or a named place.

The ship via code in the Supplier window indicates how the goods will be transported. The normal procedure is to define all supply chain data in the windows for supply chain parameters. You can easily reach related windows by the right-mouse button menu:
