Security Note: You need the Allow user to maintain delivery terms security right in the Marketing user group security rights group for this activity.

Activity Steps

  1. Open the Delivery Term Editor.
  2. Right-click in the Delivery Terms field group and select New from the menu.
  3. Complete the following fields.
    • Delivery Term—Code for the delivery term.
    • Title Passed—Conditions for when the delivery is considered complete and ownership has passed from the seller to the buyer. May be used for reporting purposes. Select from:
      • Loaded
      • Unloaded
      • Arrival At Loading
      • At Border
      • Arrival At Destination
      • Payment
    • Control Passed—Conditions that must be met on despatches in order for control of material to have passed from the seller to the buyer.

      The default despatch order (DO) snapshot displays the date that control passes from the seller to the buyer, and whether that date is actual or estimated.

      If a single DO is associated with multiple despatches, only one of the despatches must meet the requirement for control to pass for the DO.

      For aggregated parent despatch orders (APDOs) and consignment parent despatch orders (CPDOs), if control has passed for all the child despatch orders (CDOs), control has also passed for the APDO or CPDO. For split parent despatch orders (SPDOs), if control has passed for the SPDO, control has also passed for its CDOs. See Parent and Child Despatch Orders.

      Despatch orders may be linked via linked contracts or a manual link. If control has passed for a source DO, control has also passed for any linked DOs that have the same delivery terms. Depending on linked contract configuration, the delivery terms of linked DOs may be different from the delivery terms of the source DO. For control to pass for the linked DO, the linked DO's delivery term conditions must be met on the despatch associated with the source DO. See Linked Contracts.

      Despatch orders may be linked via a data link. If Risk Transfer is checked in the data link properties, the snapshot of each target despatch order has the same Control Passed date and status as its source despatch order. If Risk Transfer is unchecked for a data link, the date when control passes is calculated for each despatch order independently. See Despatch Order Data Links.
