EDI Invoices

[Former Member]

Hello Folks,

In standard SAP, For EDI invoices the incoterms appear two time.

E1EDK17 - 001

E1EDK17 - 002

Where as in paper output they appear only once.

My question is why the incoterms appear two times in EDI invoices? What is the need to have two?

Pints rewarded...

Hi,

Yes... the expalnation given by Lakshmi is correct.

Inco terms 2 is an addition to Inco terms 1.

Inco2 is only an additional information for the primary Incoterm.

<b>Example</b>

If the primary Incoterm is, for example, FOB ("Free on Board"), then the second field provides details of the port from which the delivery leaves (for example, "FOB Boston").

Similarly, CFR in Inco1 will be unique irrespective of details in Inco2. Like CFR Dubai, CFR London etc.,

Based on these two fields only, the seller will get payment. In Exports, this plays a vital role.

Thanks

Hi

Inco terms are International Commercial terms for trade and Commerce.

Take the eg.

If goods are shipped through a port of departure, the appropriate Incoterm might be: FOB ("Free On Board"). You can provide further details (for example, the name of the port) in the secondary Incoterm field: FOB Boston, for example.

It is always good to have both the incoterms as inco2 will give detail information about the Inco1 .

But again depend on the requirement u can avoid Inco2

Hope this calrify .
