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:
- For internal suppliers, click Supply Chain Matrix for Site.
- For external suppliers, click Supply Chain Matrix for Supplier.
Prerequisites
- Basic data in the Address/General Address Info sub-tab in the Supplier window must be entered.
- The delivery term for the language in the supplier record must be entered in the Delivery Terms page.
- The ship via code for the language in the supplier record must be entered in the Ship Via Codes page.
- If Intrastat is used, the mode of transport must be stated for all ship via codes in the Ship Via Codes
page.
- If using supplier contact, the person must be entered for the correct address ID either in the Comm Method
tab or the Address/General Address Info sub-tab in the Supplier page.
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.
