INCOTERMS : Different Incoterms for a Customer by Plant

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I have a customer - ABC.

ABC's sales orders are fulfilled from 2 Plants - X and Y.

X and Y are in two different countries (one in EU, one non-EU).

Rerquirement is to have different incoterms based on what plant the customer's sales order is fulfilled from.

X -> ABC = CIP

Y -> ABC = DAP

I know you can manually change the sales order line item to have a different incoterms but is there any standard way in ECC 6.0 to have the system automatically choose an incoterm based on source plant? Or would a customization be required?

Thanks,

Niall

Hi,

There is no standard SAP config which will populate incoterms based on plant.

Incoterms are basically based on the Ship to party, there are two workarounds for this requirement

A. User exit so that the system automatically posts the correct incoterms based on the Plant / system can give an error message when the user has not changed the incoterms as per the plant.

B. And if you do not want to use the exit, create two ship to parties with different incoterms and as you will be aware of the plant while creating the order select the correct ship to party.

Thanks for the helpful answers folks. Much appreciated.

Inco terms are maintained in customer masters. So by standard, based on plants, you can't populate incoterms at the sales order header or line items. You can try using user USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBKD in program MV45AFZZ to bring the incoterms at line items based on the line item delivery plant.
