Add Multiple shipments in to another shipment document

Dear All,
Please let me know the pre requisite configuration to add multiple Shipment documents in to another shipment document.
The requirement is in a full truck load there will multiple customer dispatches. For each customer dispatch a shipment will be created. all individual shipments will be added in to another shipment document (a master shipment document)
The costing is done at the master shipment document.
I request you to provide the needful information.
regards
Venkat

Hi,
You can add more shipments in VT01N/VT02N screens (Shipments (CTRLF7)) but that will only display multiple shipment documents for mass processing etc. It will not create any 'parent-child' (or master-individual) shipment relations.
What you can do is simply to create 2 shipments for each delivery document. One being a container for warehousing needs and another one a 'master shipment' for payment purposes.
Note however that shipment documents will not be directly linked. Those will be only referenced to the same delivery document.

Acrobat is not a word processing application and many times editing text in a PDF file will fail miserably, although it has greatly improved in version XI compared to earlier versions.

Multiple shipment agaisnt single delivery

Hi Gurus,
Can we have multiple shipment documents against a single delivery. If yes what are the instances where we can have this scenario. i.e. what we need to do in the config and also which process business need to follow to satishfy this scenario.
Thanks.
Laxmi.

Hi Laxmikanta,
Yes we can do multiple shipment for single delivery please follow the below steps.
1) Once you create a delivery go to t-code VT01N
2) Create the first shipment as you generally do.
3) If you want to create another shipment then you need to change the shipment type and create subsquent shipment.
4) You can create as many subsequent shipment as you want.
5) For this you need to remove the check mark from the delivery status " Do not select deleveries already in subsequent legs"
Once done you will be able to create as many shipments as possible.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Creation of Multiple Shipments with respect to Single inbound.

Hi,
This is regarding creation of Multiple Shipments with respect to Single inbound.
In standard SAP, you can create Shipment cost based on Inbound number.Requirement is here for single inbound can we create multiple Shipment document.
Can we do shipment costing for Multiple shipment in single document through VI01.
Yours Help in this will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Sunami.

dear friend,
to process shipment cost documents you can either call up a shipment cost document in change mode or you can create lists of the shipment cost documents
you can create the following lists:
-Shipment cost documents for calculation
-Shipment cost documents for settlement
to process a single document use t-code VI01
to create lists of shipment cost documents to be changed use t-code VI11
so, if you need something very special you would think about the new enhancement...
good luck!

Multiple Shipment cost against single shipment doc

Dear Gurus,
We have a scenario in Transportation process.
We are sending a shipment which contains three delivery docs each contains 100 qty, so total 300 qty.
There are three invoices invloves in this shipment against each delivery doc. This shipment goes to the Transporter's warehouse and the inward happens one by one invoice basis as per the cutomer's request. Say, when the customer inwards the first delivery transporter will submit his first freight bill to us. we clear that bill, then next bill...so on..
Here from one shipment document multiple shipment costs need to be created. Is this possible? If not what could be the soultion for this issue?
Pls suggest. thanks in advance.
(P.S: I have referred this thread which is very similar to my req.
Re: Multiple cost documents for one shipment doc , any other suggestions)
Reg,
JJ

Dear Lakshmipathi ji,
Thankx a lot for ur reply and giving some more light . However, My requiremnt is not to create multiple shipment documents in VT01N against one delivery and not all the customers have the web site updation on GRN details but ofcourse some of them.
I have two issues here..
1. My client sends a consignement which contains multiple deliveries each belongs to deifferent Routes thru' a transporter. For the transporter it's like a collection point. He collects the goods and takes to his place further distributing the goods to the respective destination. (like a courier agent).
2.As i xplained before, as per the GRN of the customer basis they pay the frieght bills (weekly) . It happens for a whole delivery or invoice qty only.
How to address this? Is this a only way to create one to one basis of shipment & delivery doc?
Pls suggest.
Reg,
JJ

Do we need to create individual shipment document for Transportation Chain

Do we need to create individual shipment document in Transportation Chain if the forwarding agent is same for all shipment?
For Example :
first it takes truck,
         then ship,
         then again truck to reach Customer.
in all above case forwading agent is same eg: DHL Service

Hi Doak,
Yes you need to create individual shipment document in Transportation chain.
For Example : when the trucks go from their respective shipping points to the harbor, the freight documents should not also contain main leg and subsequent leg information. When you create texts, you would not know if they are supposed to be valid for the preliminary, main or subsequent legs.
In order to avoid such limitations, we would recommend that you denote a transportation chain using multiple shipment documents. You can create these shipment documents almost automatically by using collective processing.
If you want depict a transportation chain within a shipment document, you must also accept the limited functions available to you.
The reason: Almost all shipment document functions refer to the document as a whole:
1.Outputs can only be printed for the entire document, not for individual legs
2.Handling units can only be created for the entire document, not for individual   legs
3. The same is valid for texts, deadlines in general, etc.
Hope this provides you some clarity. Reward points if helpful.

How to use Add Shipments functionality in Shipment document creation

Dear All,
We wanted to use the Add Shipments functionality in the Shipment document creation / change.
We have two different shipment types.
I want to add shipments of one shipment type in to Shipment document of anohter shipment type.
I am not able to do it now as system is saying in the selection log that the shipment types are not same.
Please let me know what are the pre requisite configurations to enable us to add shipments in to another shipment.
Please let me tknow he standard functionality of "Add Shipments option" and how to use it to add shipments in a Shipment
Regards
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
The option "find shipments" is provided to select the shipments to reassign or deassign the deiveries etc in VT01n or VT02n
transaction planning screen. Basically you can play around to assign and reassign the deliveries to different shipments
This option is not creating the shipment within shipment. It is just selection of shipments for planning purposes
Hope this helps.

Ramana

Multiple vendors against single shipment document

Hi All
I am working on a project where more then one mode of transportation are used .
1) I have configured routes and stages and assigned different forwarding agent against every route .
2) I have not maintained any forwarding agent at VT01N header level as i want to bill different forwarding agent against every stages .
3) Different stages with vendor assigned to then is coming In VT01N under STAGES tab.When i am doing VI01 there is no item and the error log message is "Item not created because service agent SP not in reference document".
4) My question is how to bill these different forwarding and handling agents against single shipment document.If i enter forwarding agent at shipment header level then shipment cost is calculated against that vendor only.
Please help me ASAP to get rid of this problem as realization is going to start very soon.
Best Regards

Hi,
"Item not created because service agent SP not in reference document".
I think you entered wrong partner function shipment item categories in T_56, for item category detail maintain partner function CR - Forwarding agent
Check that you should set partner function CR for delivery document
Then your delivery document service agent partner function CR should entered,then same will be copy in shipment(help you if one delivery with only one forwarding agent)
Then maintain the different vendors against each stage in VT01N (Do not maintain at header)
Then in VI01 items will appear then at item level tick mark to TRANSFER,then system will create P.O for different stage.

Multiple cost documents for single shipment document

Hi All,
My recuirement is as follows. (this is for Cement industry implementation)
1) In a shipment document i wil inculde mustiple deliveries for which a single route wil be deterimined and only one stage is used. For Ex. I include 10 deliveries say dly no. 1 to 10. now when my vendor sends bills for the services rendered. ill be making payment only for the deliveries which vendor sends the bill. say vendor sent bills for dly nos. 1,2,4 7, 8 and 10.
so my query here is when i created a single shipment document for all the 10 deliveries, i would like to make the payment for the selected deliveries only. is this is possible ? if yes please what all the possibilities ?
2) same as point 1. but when the routes are different.
please explain on the both the scenarios.
Regards
Sree...

As you aware that,
Shipment cost created to capture the freight involved in that consignment. Once consignment is finished then vendor issues bill to the client. vendor bill doesnt reflect to the shipment cost, where when you save the shipment cost document service entry sheet will be generated which is used in vendor invoice verification, but not the shipment cost document.
if client wants to charge the frieght calculated in shipment cost document in Customer invoice, you have to create shipment cost document ,before your vendor issues any invoice to the client.
Coming to your requirement,
maintain shipment cost relevance @ item level, noting but you will be calculating freight at each delivery level. while creating condition record, all the deliveries will be copied in shipment cost document at item level, here you delete whatever the deliveries you dont want to capture the freight in VI01 & save it. one service entry sheet will be generated for only listed deliveries & do the invoice verification to settle the amount to the vendor.
now, try to create one more shipment cost document wrt: shipment doc, but only for the remaining deliveries. Hope you can create because shipment document has not yet been completed.

Flag multiple shipments attached to delivery note

Hello,
I am new to ABAP and would like help in incorporating the logic for the Update rule. Thank you for hearing me out. The functional requirement is that the quantity is counted multiple times when a destination 'X' is involved in the shipping process. When two or more shipment numbers with a shipment type - AAA are attached to a delivery note, a new field needs to be populated for ‘Y’ . The data loads from DSO to Infocube and I need to add a new field/Infoobject in the Infocube and populate the field based on the Update rule logic. Can anyone please help me with the ABAP routine to be included in the Update routine for this?
Thank you

When two or more shipment numbers with a shipment type - AAA are attached to a delivery note
Functionally what we can do is for a shipment document, we attach multiple deliveries. This being the case, what you had explained is vice versa. Hence, can you let me list out the sequence of transaction codes being executed in the above business process since being a functional guy, I would be interested to know this.

Can you copy the Temperature in Delivery Note to Bulk Shipment document?

Is there a way to copy the temperature inputted in the "Qty in Alternate UOM" tab in the item details of the Delivery Note to the Bulk Shipment document during the Change Loading confirmation process?
One of our process requirements is to be able to copy the Material temperature and test temperature parameters, among others, from the delivery note to the Shipment document during O4G1 (change loading confirmation). We can only access until the Delivery Note, and then an automation in the system takes over, hence we cannot make changes in O4G1.
What happens here now during O4G1 is the system does not look to the delivery note for whatever temperatures have been entered, but rather it looks back at the O3DEFAULTS table. The problem with that is, during the day, some temperature information can be updated, while O3DEFAULTS is updated perhaps only once a day.
Is there a configuration setting that I can check?
Thanks.

Hi there,
I do not think that there is standard way to copy additional quantities (Qty and temp data) from outbound delivery doc but I think you can do this thru custom developement like implementing BADI and add new tab "Qty in Alternate UoM" and get the data from LIPSO2 table. We have applied same approach on our TSW Nomination to display some additional data outside standard process.
Hope this may help.

Changing Profit center in Sales Order after Shipment Document

Hi All,
We have situation here, The thing is at the time of creating Sales order I don't know the profit center which has to be assigned for example, I have created a sales order for goods transport, when I create the sales order I don't know which vehicle is going to transport this order and the goods can be transported by multiple vehicles.
For my business each vehicle is a cost and profit center since I wanna know the profitability of each vehicle.
So I will come to know the vehicle ( Profit center) after creating the shipment document, now I want to have the profit center of this vehicle to be updated back in the sales order so that the Billing (revenue) is recorded in this profit center.
Please let me know how to do this. I know the PC field is greyed out after shipment and PGI is done. So how to handle this.
Your suggestions will be highly appreciable
Regards,
Satan

Hi,
Thanks
If I went with internal order every where I gotta enter the internal order since it doesn't get automatically derived like a profit center. I would have to define substitutions everywhere !
I am trying to capture all the costs and revenue for each transport vehicle since this is transport business. It's not like my business is something else and vehicles are a part of it.
Almost all transactions will have to be posted with Internal order which is very difficult to configure.
Can you please elaborate on the work around you have mentioned since I am neither technical nor SD consultant.
Thanks in advance

SAP inbound and outbound delivey in single shipment document

Hi
We are doing outbound and inbound delivery creation in SAP. These are dropped to OTM(oracle transport management system). OTM will create orders for deliveries and groups multiple deliveries into one shipment. This is sent back to SAP for shipment creation. Problem we have is SAP can have either inbound deliveries Or outbound deliveires in a shipment. Based on inbound shipment or outbound shipment in shipment document type. OTM does not has this restriction and can bundle both outbound and inound in single shipment.
Business scenario we have is multi pick and multi drop, where there is possibility that 1) inbound del from vendor for PO 2) Outbound del to customer for SO and 3) outbound/inbound del for STO from RDC to DC in a single sipment.
Please advice ow this can be achieved in SAP.
Best Regards
Edited by: M.N. Phani Sai on Oct 28, 2010 10:34 AM

It is not possible to involve both inbound and outbound deliveries in the same shipment. SAP has its deficiencies...
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-log-wm/inbound-and-outbound-delivery-in-the-same-shipment-3512217
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/f5/04898047bd11d2bf750000e8a7386f/frameset.htm
You cannot place outbound deliveries and inbound deliveries together in the same shipment document. Nor is it possible to assign Items from a delivery or an inbound delivery to different shipment documents. You must decide at the delivery stage whether order items can be shipped together in one delivery and therefore require only one shipment.

<?DROP_SHIP_FLAG?>
Please help out, is there any setup required to show shipment detail on Standard Purchase Order through PO Output for Communication / Document View.

Hi Umar,
It is <?for-each:LINE_LOCATIONS_ROW?> not <?for-each:LINE_LOCATIONS?> for PO shipments.
Also make sure it is nested inside <?for-each:LINES_ROW?>.

Function Module to save existing Shipment Document

Hello,
I have a list of deliveries and I want to re-save the shipment document so the corresponding output types of the shipment documents are re-triggered. I am currently working in 4.6C and there is no BAPI to change the shipment document. Please let me know if there is any FM that can be used to re-save the shipment document.
My ultimate requireent is to trigger the output type in the shipment. However when i re-save shipment document without any change, it does not triggeres the output type. How can we trigger the output type in shipment based on some condition in delivery?
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit
Edited by: Rohit Malik on Dec 9, 2010 6:02 PM

Thanks Sravanthi. But I still have some more issue with this BAPI. 'Coz I my requirement is to add a new screen enhancement. So I created additional custom fields to table AFIH. This is my problem, I can't find ways to update those fields.
When I looked in your BAPI, I can't find ay structure there that includes those custom fields for update. Do you have more idea on this? Any reply will be highly appreciated.
