Delivery terms

In this table you register delivery terms. A delivery term describes the responsibilities at transport and delivery of the goods. You select a delivery term for a customer and a supplier that will be selected by default on orders and delivery documents.

Default

Here you determine if the delivery term should be used by default when registering new customers and suppliers.

Number

Here you can see the number for the position of the row. This field is numerical. A new row will by default get the next available number. The table/list is sorted by this column. A number is unique and cannot occur on more than one row in the table.

Name

Here you enter a description of the delivery term. By using the button Translations you can translate the text to the different active languages registered in the system.Even if you do not use third-party integration, we recommend that you use Incoterms definitions for delivery terms. These terms are clear and describe the responsibility during transport and delivery of goods.

Here you find a recommended way to set up delivery terms:

Code

Here you enter the code for the delivery term using a maximum of 15 characters. The code is used by the option Customer order transfer in order to match this delivery term with a delivery term in the other company when customer orders are transferred from the sales company to the production company. If the same code is used for a delivery term in both companies, the delivery terms will match.

Payer

The payer is the party registered as the payer of the freight. The payer of the freight applies between the shipping agent and my company. This selection determines e.g. the goods address number (GAN) shown on the documents (your or the other party’s). There are four options:

• Purchaser pays
• Seller pays
• Other payer
• Incoterms* – This option is only selected during third-party integration.

* Incoterms is internationally recognized rules which describe who has the financial responsibility of the goods during the transport. During export/import of goods, it is especially important to use Incoterms.

Shipping

By using the button Shipping , you can add shipping agents and their codes for the delivery term. This because shipping agents use different codes for the same delivery term. This is only used during third-party shipping integration.
