Incoterms

[Former Member]

Hi all...

I have doubt regarding Incoterms in Sales order :

1) From Where does the Incoterms flow to the item level detail in the sales order?

( we can view incoterms at header level and item level)

2) If we change the incoterms at header level, then will it change at item level always?

3) In case we change the incoterms at item level then it is not changing at header level.why?

4) In database table, i donot find it in the VBAK table at all but see it only in the VBAP table.Does the Incoterms also have some relevance to the Ship-to-Party and would the behaviour change accordingly?

Awaiting your expert comments

Hi Terrence,

Incoterms flows from Sold to Party Master data. This is SAP Standard. However in some cases where you have a requirement to show the Ship to Party Incoterms on order Item, then it can be changed manually. Or if this is a regular business requirement then it can be done in MV45AFZZ..

Hi Terrence,

1) The incoterms flows from the customer master data in the billing tab page...

2) Once you change your incoterms at the header level the same will be applicable to the item levels since whatever changes you make at the header level is applicable to the item level also..

3) At the item level when you make any changes the same is applicable to that item only and not to the header, when you make changes at the header level the same will be applicable to the entire document..since an header means which applies to the entire document..

4) The meaning of incoterms means how are your goods shipped and what are the terms and conditions when they are shipped, hence the same is related to ship to party since he may also decide how the goods may be shipped in some cases...

Dear terrence

1) Whatever you maintain at Customer Master, the same will flow both at Header and Item Level.

2) No it will not change at item level. You have to change manually, if need be

3) Normally whatever changes you made at Header Level (like Inco Terms, Payment Terms) will have impact at Item Level but not vice versa

4) In VBAK what data you could not see??

Thanks

1) Incoterms are coming from the customer master record to the sales order. (from sales area data, billing tab)

2 & 3) this action depends upon the item category "business data" settings. Whether it can be diff, from the header and item?. this Particular business data field decids whether this data can different from header and item.

4) u can see that in the KNKK table, I think it flows from here, so that u cant view there..

reward points if useful...
