The ship-from location defines the location from where the licensee is to be shipped the material that they may require to exploit the IP rights transferred.
Example
This shipping can for instance take place from
New York
.
You record admissible ship-from locations in the IP master data. The ship-from location (along with the
available languages
and
type of shipping
) 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 ship-from location has been defined as a default value in the IP master data, this is entered in the contract as a default value automatically.
