Annotation. The article provides a comparative analysis of the application of classical logistics rules in supply chains in relation to end and intermediate consumers. The expediency of introducing and using the concept of «consumer of material flow» as an analytical category reflecting the specifics of the requirements of commercial intermediaries is substantiated. Options for the implementation of the «right place» factor depending on the type of consumer and the localization of the transfer of ownership of the product are considered. It is shown that the choice of the point of transfer of risks and responsibilities, formalized through the terms of delivery and the type of intermediation, has a significant impact on the distribution of logistics costs, the level of service and the overall efficiency of the supply chain.
Key words. Logistics, supply chain, transfer of ownership, logistics rules, desired place, goods, consumer of material flow, logistics costs, INCOTERMS, commercial intermediaries.
