AFAIK there's nothing like that currently. If it just to record the data you can always create new columns. If it has some logic consequences then you need to do customization.

On the shipment window, if you ship via shipper, incoterms are under Freight Terms. There is, however, to my knowledge, a way to specify the incoterms at the order level

Dear Antoni

I am not able to find anything like "Freight Terms" in Shipper window

All i come across is "Freight Category" which has got a maintian/master window

Is it ok  to use Freight Category to store/maintain IncoTerms ?

IncoTerms is a mandatory field especially when if the business involves overseas import or export and always will be used in Order, Proforma, Shipping documents and might be in Invoice also.

IncoTerms are pre-defined and is globally accepted  so it should be kept as a master and should be able to pulled in the transactions documents


from wiki
The Incoterms or International Commercial Terms are a series of pre-defined commercial terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) relating to international commercial law. They are widely used in international commercial transactions or procurement processes and their use is encouraged by trade councils, courts and international lawyers.^[1]

Change "Delivery Via" to "Shipper". You will see that a few more fields appear. One of them is Freight Terms, and that contains the Incoterms (checked the exact field names on the demo sites). The list is controled by the administrator user for the whole installation

I know what Incoterms are. One of the fields I have in my custom table for order is freight terms, and I use the event handler to copy incoterms around from order to shipment.
