Incoterms

Incoterms master data is used by the InEight Contract application.

Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) are a set of terms established globally to clearly define who is responsible for what when trading goods, from when the goods leave the seller to when they arrive at the buyer’s final destination. Examples of incoterms include: EXW (Ex Works), FCA (Free Carrier), CPT (Carriage Paid To), CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid To), DAP (Delivered at Place), DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded), and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid).

Incoterms master data

Field Description
Incoterms code The unique identifier for the incoterm.
Incoterms description Brief description to further identify the incoterm.
Status Set the status to Available to allow the incoterm to be used. If the status is set to Unavailable and the Hide unavailable toggle is set to On, the incoterm does not show in the list.

Manage Incoterms

You can add and edit incoterms by clicking the Add and Edit icons. From the right toolbar, the Import and Export icons allow you to add and export your incoterms in bulk.

By default, the Hide unavailable toggle is set to On, which filters the list to show only the available incoterms that can be assigned. Incoterm records cannot be deleted but the status of an incoterm record can be set to Unavailable, which prevents the incoterm from being used and assigned. However, if an incoterm is already indicated on a contract within a project, then it will still be available in that contract but will not be available for future contracts.

Use Incoterms

Within the InEight Contract application, on the Header details of a contract, you can select the incoterm for the contract from a drop-down list.
