Hello Katja,
In SAP Public Cloud, the requirement to maintain the Incoterms Location when specifying an Incoterms ID is enforced as part of standard validation logic, and there is no configuration option in customizing to change this behavior.
Why is the Incoterms Location Mandatory?
SAP Standard Behavior: In SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, the system enforces the completion of the Incoterms Location field when an Incoterm ID is assigned to ensure accurate logistics and compliance with international trade regulations.
Legal & Business Requirements: Some Incoterms (like FOB, DAP, etc.) require a location to clarify responsibilities for delivery and cost allocation.
Data Integrity: The system ensures that sales orders, deliveries, and invoices have the necessary information to avoid incorrect shipping or billing.
Some companies use EXW without a location because the pickup location is always the supplier’s address. However, SAP typically still expects a value. If "EXW" is used consistently without a specific location, you could set a generic default value, such as "Supplier Warehouse" or the company’s city.
Best regards,
