Enter Default Locations for a Sales or Purchase Contract

These default locations are used in quotas and despatch orders created for the contract.

Security Note: You need the Allow contract maintenance security right in the Contracts domain security rights group for this activity.

Activity Steps

1. Open the Sales Contract or Purchase Contract.
2. Select the Contract Settings node.
3. Select a default Contractual Source and Contractual Destination if required.

   Default contractual source and destinations for quotas. Also used as the default planned loading and unloading locations for despatch orders created for a contract product (that is, not within a quota). Select from the locations defined on the Supply Chain panel of the Solution Explorer.

4. If generic routes and process flows will be used with despatches, check Assume Generic Loading Location and Assume Generic Unloading Location. See Transport Routes.

   Default setting for despatch orders for whether to use the Planned (Un)loading Location and (Un)loading Location Override to determine applicable demurrage and despatch conditions, service and freight calculations, parities and contract charges.

   If checked, a generic (un)loading point can be used in despatch routes, with generic process flows for (un)loading. The weights and quality data for the despatch order still come from the despatch. However, demurrage and despatch conditions, service and freight calculations and contract charges are based on the (Un)loading Location Override (if specified) or the Planned (Un)loading Location instead of the despatch route point. Parities apply if an (Un)loading Location Override is specified.

   If unchecked, the actual unloading point in the despatch route supersedes the Planned Unloading Location for all data related to the unloading location.

   Default: As specified for the contract template if applicable, otherwise unchecked.
