Delivery terms

The delivery terms define the agreements with the business partner concerning the way the goods are delivered. The delivery terms can include the point of title passage.

The point of title passage is the point at which the legal ownership changes. At this point, the risk passes from the seller to the buyer.

On the relevant order documents, LN prints the following information:

• The delivery terms code
• The place specification
• The text you attach to the delivery terms

If the delivery terms text is available in the language of the document, this is printed, otherwise the English text is printed.

If the delivery terms do not include a place specification, LN prints the place specification of the point of title passage if one is supplied.

Points of title passage

You can define points of title passage in two ways:

• In the Delivery Terms (tcmcs0141m000) session, you can define generic points of title passage. This means that you can indicate that the point of title passage is either the point of origin or the point of destination. For the place specification you can then select a part of the ship-from or ship-to address, for example, the city, the country, or the postal address.
• In the Points of Title Passage (tcmcs0142m000) session, you can define specific points of title passage, for example, that correspond with specific addresses.

The point of title passage can consist of an address defined in the Addresses (tccom4530m000) session. In that case, for the Place Specification you can select an address part of the address. LN prints the place specification of the point of title passage on the order documents if the delivery terms do not include a place specification.

You can select a default point of title passage for your business partners in these sessions:

• Ship-from Business Partner by Site (tccom2121m000)
• Ship-from Business Partner (tccom4121s000)
• Buy-from Business Partner (tccom4120s000)

You can select or change points of title passage, for example, in the Manual Sales Invoice Data (cisli2120s000) or Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) sessions.

Delivery terms

You can define delivery terms in the Delivery Terms (tcmcs0141m000) session. If you use the Incoterms delivery terms, enter the Incoterms codes in the Delivery Terms field. LN prints this code on the order documents.

In the Delivery Terms (tcmcs0141m000) session, for the Point of Title Passage Category you can select one of the following:

• The point of origin
• The point of destination
• A specific location that you manually enter on the orders

If the point of title passage category is Point of Origin or Point of Destination, in the Place Specification field you can specify an address part of the ship-from or ship-to address.

If the point of title passage category is Named Location, in the Place Specification field you can select one of the following values:

• To indicate that the point of title passage location will be manually entered on the orders, select Named Location
• To use the place specification supplied for a specific point of title passage defined in the Points of Title Passage (tcmcs0142m000) session, select Not Applicable.

Example

If the point of title passage is the point of origin, you can enter the following values in the Delivery Terms (tcmcs0141m000) session:

• In the Point of Title Passage Category field, select Point of Origin.
• In the Place Specification field, select the part of the ship-from that must be printed on the order.

Example

If the delivery terms text contains all the information you want to print on the orders and you do not wish to specify an address or a enter a named location, select the following values in the Delivery Terms (tcmcs0141m000) session:

• In the Point of Title Passage Category field, select Named Location.
• In the Place Specification field, select Not Applicable.

You can select default delivery terms for your business partners in the following sessions:

• Ship-from Business Partner by Site (tccom2121m000)

• Buy-from Business Partner (tccom4120s000)
