In Transportation Manager, the Incoterms shipping location for a shipment defines the point where the responsibility for transportation costs shifts from the seller to the buyer.
The Incoterms Locations entity can be used to establish a default value for the Incoterms shipping location when any of the following events occur:
If an Incoterms ID is provided for a shipment, a Default Incoterms Shipping Location Type value is assigned to the shipment . Default Incoterms Shipping Location Type supports the following values:
The Incoterms Locations entity allows Default Incoterms Shipping Location Type to be defined for a unique combination of the following shipment attributes:
If Incoterms ID is specified when a shipment is created, TM identifies a value for the Default Incoterms Shipping Location Type field. TM considers Incoterms locations where all non-blank values match the corresponding shipment values. Since some values for the Incoterms locations are optional, there may be more than one matching entry. If more than one matching entry is identified for the applicable division, customer, Incoterms ID and Incoterms version, the precision priority is based on the following table:
Precision priority |

Destination |
Buyer /Seller Designation |

For example:
An Incoterms location that provides information on all the mentioned shipment attributes is assigned the highest priority 1. If this combination of shipment attributes does not match with the current shipment, the Incoterms location is not considered and the next suitable match is identified based on the precision priority.
If there are no matching entries for the shipment in the Incoterms Location table, Default Incoterms Shipping Location Type from the applicable entry in the Incoterms table is used.
When Default Incoterms Shipping Location Type is identified for a shipment, it is used to select a default value for the Incoterms shipping location if the Incoterms Commit check box is not selected for the shipment:
