When the seller despatch the goods to their end customer based on certain Inco terms, insurance would be covered by either of them.  For example, if the cargo is despatched on Ex-Works basis, buyer would cover insurance for "In-Transit" cargo.  On the other hand, if the despatch is made on CIF basis, then the insurance part will also be taken care of, by the seller.

Now coming to your query, if the seller want to maintain such data, then can maintain which is only for statistical purpose.

Thanks a lot G. Lakshmipathi, for your prompt and positive reply.

i understand.

you mean its just a statistical data when maintain once in the customer master, for information only, don't have any further process or impact, or change in the business process ?

above confusion i explain in LC scenario, that we create as a master data and assign to the sales order, so its work like a credit management, you understand what I mean. thanks.
