eBasic Ordering Agreement Return to eTFP REGB + REGS + Data = BOA Basic Ordering Agreement The Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) is the primary document for defining the terms of sale for a trade transaction. The Basic Ordering Agreement defines the terms and conditions for the exchange of goods and services between the buyer and seller. The terms agreed to are carried through the rest of the transaction documents and provide uniformity of understanding for all the other parties to the transaction. The price of goods is not part of a Basic Ordering Agreement. The unit price is only the beginning of all of the elements of a trade transaction that must be decided by the buyer and seller. Which party is responsible for insurance, freight charges, bank fees, carriage, customs duties, inspection costs and many other items should be decided in the beginning of the transaction process. If this is not done, those decisions will be made by the banks, agents, and government employees in the various countries involved with the process. The BOA contains the terms and conditions of sale, but not unit prices, quantities, delivery schedules or any information that is shipment specific. In this way the BOA terms and conditions can be used repeatedly for multiple shipments. There can be a number of BOAs agreed to between a buyer and seller to cover different modes of shipment and subsequent Incoterm and conditions. The Basic Ordering Agreement Data (BOA) are the primary elements or fields that makes up the Basic Ordering Agreement between the buyer and seller. The BOA defines the trade transaction elements required for the exchange of goods and settlement. The buyer or the seller can initiate a BOA and seek information, concurrency and agreement with the counter party. eBasic Ordering Agreement Trade Function The eBasic Ordering Agreement Data (BOA) establishes the specific elements of a trade transaction that are carried into the derivative trade functions.
