I Think the line item's incoterms must be picked from the ship to at the line item only and not the header's ship to.

here is the explanation regarding the two incoterms..

<b>Incoterms (part 1)</b>

Commonly-used trading terms that comply with the standards established by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).

Use

Incoterms specify certain internationally recognised procedures that the shipper and the receiving party must follow for the shipping transaction to be successfully completed.

Example

If goods are shipped through a port of departure, the appropriate Incoterm might be: FOB ("Free On Board"). You can provide further details (for example, the name of the port) in the secondary Incoterm field: FOB Boston, for example.

<b>Incoterms (part 2)</b>

Additional information for the primary Incoterm.

Example

If the primary Incoterm is, for example, FOB ("Free on Board"), then the second field provides details of the port from which the delivery leaves (for example, "FOB Boston").

you can refer to Inco1 in your scenario.I have did so in my project...

Hi

The incoterm is in VBKD table, so if it's only in the record with position 000000, it means the incoterms is header data, if a item has a different one you should find a record of that item in VBKD.

In general the Inco term is applicable only for the soldto customer. Hence it has to be picked up from the hdr record only.

Gurus,

Tks for your gud replies...

But this brings one more question that is....

In Va02 or Va03 .. the Incoterms are picked up from

vbkd table at Line item level based on vbeln

now what ever is the headers incoterm that will only be picked up by the line item level even though the ship to will be different for each line item..

when I dbl click at the line item level it shows the same inco term (in the Billing tab) for all the line items even though the ship to is different of each line item is this correct ??

Points guranteed....

Hi Aryan

I don't know your situations, but incoterm is usually header data, so it's the same for all item.

I've never seen different inconterms in the same documents.

Anyway it's header data for bill (VBRK-INCO1), so I suppose if order had different incoterms for its items, those items'd generate different bills.
