Enter Purchase Address Info
Explanation
Use this activity to enter general purchase address information, such as
supplier contact, delivery term, and ship via code for a specific supplier address
identity.
The delivery terms defines who assumes the responsibility and the costs for
the delivery, for example, Delivery Duty Paid (DDP), Free On Board (FOB), Cost,
Insurance and Freight (CIF). To be able to fully determine the extent of responsibility
and the costs, it is necessary to define an exact location. Depending on the
delivery term this can be, e.g., a port of shipment, port of destination or
a named place.
The ship via code in the
Supplier page indicates how the goods will be transported. The normal
procedure is to define all supply chain data in the pages for supply chain parameters.
You can easily reach related pages by the commands:

System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- General purchase address information is added.
- If a supplier contact has been entered, the name for the default document
address will be automatically retrieved in any entered purchase requisition
or purchase order. If a supplier contact has been entered for the combination
of supplier and purchase part, this will be used instead of that entered
here for purchase requisitions. For a request for quotation, the supplier
contact for the chosen address will be retrieved.
