Shipping Terms
Shipping Terms
Shipping terms make explicit who is responsible for goods in transit — whether the vendor delivers to your door, you pick up at their warehouse, or ownership transfers at the port. Setting them up in CifraHQ means your Purchase Orders and sales documents always state the arrangement clearly, reducing disputes with suppliers and Customers.

Tips
- Shipping terms are a reference field — they appear on documents for contractual clarity but do not affect calculations in CifraHQ.
- Set up the terms your Vendors use on their Invoices and the terms you offer your Customers so the right option is always available when creating orders.
