The type of shipping defines how the content required to exploit the IP right is made available for publication.
Example
You provide the content to the licensee as a
live program
or as a
tape
.
You record the
type of shipping
in the IP master data. The type of shipping (along with the
available languages
and
ship-from location
) is part of the
IP shipping data
, which you use in the IP master record to describe the characteristics of the physical material, which has been provided to exploit the right sold.
You maintain this data if the associated material is not to be represented separately as a product of the
material
type in the system.
Note
If a shipping type has been defined as a default value in the IP master data, this is entered in the contract as a default value automatically.
