prashant belgaonkar

Hello,
Seems everything is in line & it should determine route from tx:OVRF - if the given data is available in PO.
just to re-check,
Shipping Condition - From Internal Customer ( Receiving Plant)
Transportation Group - Check in MMR - sales plant general data ( Here Plant should be Supplying Plant)
Hope you have done this work around, but would like to re-confirm the same

Hi, did you solve it? I am having the same problem.

Automatic route determination for sales order

Defined
Transportation Zone sold to party -0000000002
Shipping conditions -01
Transportation group in Material master -0001
Transportation zone ship to party - 0000000003
Assignment made -
Dep country zone -0000000002
Dest country zone -0000000003
Sc -01
Transportaion group -0001
route -zroad
departure zone and destination zone is assigned to respective customer masters. and above assignment is made in IMG for route determination for order. But when i create the sales order route is not getting determined..i wnet to most of the threads in this form..but could not find a thread for route determination for sales order

Aju Joseph
-Do the shipping point detremination in OVL2.
-In Route Determination- Maintain Country & Transportation Zone For Shipping Point
-Here you will find the Shipping point whatever you have created in Enterprise Structure which is in grey i.e you cannot change.
-Just assign the departure zone which you have created in Transportation zone-000000002 to required shipping point & save it.
--Raise the sales order & check the output
Let me know if your problem is solved

Route determination in Outbound delivery

Hi Friends,
After STO is done i made an Outbound delivery for that STO. Is it possible to determine the route for the outbound delivery?
What is the significance of Route and Route Schedule in Transport Tab of Outbound delivery?
Please some one explain the route determination in Logistics execution master data and also what are all things i should define for route determination for outbound delivery?
Thanks in advance...I'm ready to provide more info on this.
Regards,
Arasu

hi
You can define routes in Logistics execution > Transportation. There are two ways to determine route in STO. One is manually enter route in STO and 2ndly is automatic determination. Automatic is recommended when there are big shipments. Automatic route determination is based on Shipping point, shipping conditions, ship to party. I recommend you to use manual entery route in STO. You can also calculate freight and shipping costs by using transportation in logistics execution.
Check the following links. You will find helpful material in these links. I am also configuring transportation in SD module. Transportation is done for both STO and Sales order.

Route Determination in Inbound

Dear All,
How to configure the system to automatically determine the Route incase of Inbound Delivery Process?
I know that the Route is getting detemined through the transportation zones & also the transportation group of the material.
I have given the departure transportation in my vendor master record & receiving zone in my shipping point/receiving point address tab & also maintained a route for the shipping condition which I maintained in my vendor master & Trans.group in the material master.
Inspite of doing all the above the route is not getting determined automatically.
So please suggest a solution.
Regards,

Hi Amol,
As you have suggested I have checked my material master trp group & its assignment to Shipping condition & route determination.
Please note tht the goods receiving point is getting automatically determined as per the config but even though I have done the necessary assignment my route is not gettin determined automatically when I create a Inbound Delivery.
To be more specific.
I have given the Route for the TP zone given in my vendor master & TP zone given in the goods receiving/shipping point.
I have maintained the Route for the combination of TP group given in my material master (sales view) & Shipping conditions given in my vendor master.
Please help if you have any solutions.

Working with Route Schedules
Use
Using a route schedule, you can control periodic customer deliveries of a particular shipping point to different ship-to parties (for example, customers or stores) in a certain sequence on a certain defined route. The planning is based on calendar weeks. The period unit is a day. Also, route schedules have a goods issue time.
The route schedule function supports the following processes:
Periodic deliveries from a shipping point to stores or customers are planned in advance on the basis of calendar weeks and weekdays, also without reference to particular deliveries.
You adapt the schedules in the specific cases to the planning. For example, you can plan a GI date for a Monday at 8 oclock, without knowing the exact date or the delivery.
On the basis of this planning, deliveries that are to leave the warehouse at the same time are combined into groups. In Shipping you can thus distribute the workload by processing these groups.
Features
You can display all deliveries for a particular route schedule on a particular day, for a particular shipping point, and so on. In this way, for example, you can choose picking lists on the basis of route schedules.
You can create route schedules for the following documents:
Sales orders
Stock transfer orders
Deliveries that are based on sales orders, store orders, stock allocations, stock transfer orders, and deliveries without reference.
The route schedule is displayed in the header data of the delivery. For each delivery within the route, the system prints the expected date and the expected time of the delivery (on the basis of the local time at the original shipping point) on the delivery note; the goods issue date is used for the goods issue posting and the stock valuation.
In Customizing, you define for each shipping point, delivery type, stock transfer order, and order type whether or not route schedules are to be used.
You create the route schedules in the master data for shipping. Here you define the route schedule determination and the validity period for the route schedule and the itinerary.
As soon as the legs have been defined, you can branch to another screen to determine the actual itinerary, as well as the time (days/hours/minutes) required to get from one unloading point to the next. In this screen there is a field beside each leg. Here you can enter the number of the itinerary for the individual legs of the route. If, for example, you enter legs A and B, but assign itinerary number 2 and 1 to these, B is the first unloading point on this route. If you press Enter, the legs are displayed in the correct sequence.
At the same time it is possible to control the route schedule determination for each delivery type, stock transfer order, and order type. It is activated in the same manner as the repeated route determination. If the route schedule determination for a delivery is active, the system automatically attempts, during creation or change of a delivery, to determine a route schedule and records this in the delivery. Simultaneously, the scheduling is adjusted. All the deadlines, for example, the transportation planning time, the picking time, the loading time, the goods issue time, and the delivery time can change.
Deliveries with the same route schedule and the same date can be selected for the same picking run and the same goods issue. The same procedure can be used for printing delivery notes and freight lists, for the grouping of deliveries into shipments, and for confirmation of picking orders.
Deliveries that leave the warehouse at the same time, but are assigned to different routes and can therefore have different route schedules, can be combined together and processed through the creation of wave picks. The only condition is that all deliveries have the same goods issue time.
Route Schedule Determination
If exactly one route schedule is defined for a particular combination of requirements, then the system will use this.
For each combination of requirements for the route schedule determination, you can define several route schedules.
In the case of a delivery without a preceding document, the system determines the route schedule with the earliest delivery time at the ship-to party.
In the case of deliveries based on preceding documents (for example, stock transfer orders), the system searches for the route schedule that is nearest to the planned date/time of the delivery. The system uses the following search algorithm:
- If a route schedule exists for the specified time, this is assigned to the delivery.
- If there is no route schedule for the time specified, the system searches for the previous route schedule up to the GI time.
- If there is no route schedule from the GI time to the planned time, the system searches for the next route schedule in the future and assigns this to the delivery.
Requirements for Route Schedules
The route schedules are determined by the following conditions:
· Shipping point
Where are the goods coming from?
Ship-to party and unloading point
Where are the goods going to?
Shipping condition
How are the goods being shipped?
Transportation group
Which goods are shipped?
® For example, which type of goods?
Calendar week / year
When are the goods to be shipped?
If you do not explicitly enter the week and the year, the entry applies for each calendar week. If you enter a week and a year, the route schedule only applies for this week.
You can only use route schedules if you have maintained the working times and therefore at least one of the following times in minutes:
· Transportation planning time
· Pick/pack time
· Loading time
· Transit time
A route schedule can leave the warehouse exactly once in a week. If a route schedule runs several times, either on several days or several times a day, it must be copied to another route schedule.
Special schedules and public holiday weeks are possible.
Processing a Route Schedule
Implementation Options
Wholesale trade customers and stores can receive goods at regular intervals. These delivery rhythms have an influence on the workload in the warehouse. To help delivery planning, the route schedule serves as a tool for planning regular, repetitive customer deliveries on a particular route. At the time of planning, potential deliveries that have not yet been created are grouped in the route schedule. When the deliveries are created, the system can automatically determine a route schedule and assign it to the delivery. All deliveries with the same route schedule and the same date can be processed together in the shipping point. All these deliveries leave the shipping point together at a particular time. They are distributed along the same geographical route.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10H leave the shipping on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of Philadelphia.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10M leave the shipping point on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of Boston.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10S leave the shipping point on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of New York.
You can print picking lists for all deliveries that belong to route schedules MO10H - MO10S together.
Prerequisites
If you want to define route schedules, you must perform the following tasks:
- Activate the route determination
- Activate the delivery scheduling
- Activate the route schedule for your shipping point and make the following settings:
Transaction
Activity
Delivery
Route schedule determination for delivery type
Sales order
Route schedule determination for sales document type
Stock transfer order
Route schedule determination for delivery type
Set delivering plant and order type
Maintenance of the itinerary should be uniform for all the route schedules used. To ensure exact planning, maintain the itinerary for all the route schedules. If rough planning is sufficient in this case, you do not need to maintain the itinerary for a route schedule.
If you do not define any goods accepted times in the customer master for the unloading points of the ship-to party, the system assumes that the goods acceptance is possible at any time. The system determines the delivery time from the departure time in the route schedule plus the required traveling time to the ship-to party, as set in the itinerary (specific move time). This delivery time must be within the goods acceptance time of the unloading point of the ship-to party. If not, the respective route schedule is not determined during delivery creation.
For more information on route schedules, refer to the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Route Schedules.
Process Flow
Select the shipping point you are working for and enter the number of the route schedule.
Enter the data that defines the route schedule more exactly:
- Description of the route schedule
- Route
- Departure day (weekday)
- Departure time
You define the route schedule determination. When you create the delivery, the system can determine a route schedule on the basis of the following data:
- Shipping point
- Ship-to party
- Unloading point (if available)
- Shipping condition
- Transportation group
- (Optional) year/period
You enter this data (with the exception of the shipping point already entered in step 1).
You decide whether or not you wish to define the itinerary for this route schedule.
(Optional) You enter the itinerary and, if required, also the travelling time.
Creating a Route Schedule
Choose Logistics ® Logistics Execution ® Master data ® Transportation ® Routes ® Route schedule ® Create.
In the screen Create Route Schedule: Initial Screen, enter the shipping point and the number of the route schedule.
If you wish to use data from an existing route schedule as a reference, enter the respective shipping point and the number of that route schedule. If you also wish to copy the itinerary, check the Copy itinerary box.
Press ENTER .
The Create Route Schedule screen appears (here the system displays the number you just entered for the route schedule and the shipping point).
Enter the following data:
Description of the route schedule
The respective route
Departure day (weekday)
Departure time
In the Determine route schedule section, enter the following data:
Ship-to party
Unloading point (if available)
Shipping conditions
Transportation group
(Optional) Year/period
If you wish to define for this route schedule the itinerary according to which the individual ship-to parties are to be delivered to, choose Extras ® Itinerary.
The Create Itinerary screen appears.
Enter the itinerary and, if necessary, the travelling time.
When you determine the travelling time from one ship-to party to the next, you should include the wait time of the vehicle at the previous ship-to party.
If the same route is planned for several route schedules, define for each of these route schedules the same itinerary that should correspond to the stages and legs of the route.
Choose Goto ® Back.
You return to the Create Route Schedule screen.
In this screen, the Itinerary maintained field is now selected. If you wish to add other ship-to parties, you must also maintain the Itinerary for them.
Check your data and save your entries.

Route determination problem in Stock transport order

Hi,
At present,i am using the plant 0001 and storage location 0001.It is determining the Route as 000001.When i changed it in STO to 000002.It is automatically coming back to old one.
How to change it to 000002?
If we need to any customizing,please tell me the path.
Thanks
Srini

The correct route should be maintained in the customizing for the departure country and the receiving country with the shipping conditions and transportation zone etc.
You need to define this in customizing under logistics execution > transportation > Basic transportation functions > Routes > Route determination > Maintain route determination.
Check the route here. Also check the route whici defined in your related customer master data

Problem in Route determination

Hi everyone,
how the route is determined automatically into a project delivery.
in CNS0 T-code we can give the ship to party and we can create delivery from the project.
here my question is whether the system takes the shipping condition from ship to party which we give here? or whether it looks for sold to party?
i my case system is not determining any route into project delivery(LP). I have done all the necessary settings. and the customer account group is ship to party.
can anybody help me out with is issue
Thanks & regards

Hi,
For the route determination to happen you must have maintained the Route based on the Origin's Transportation zone [Taken from Shipping point] , Destination Transportation zone [Taken from Ship-to-Party] for the Shipping Condition[ Taken from Sold-to-Party].
So though you have maintained the Transportation zone in Ship-to-Party the route may not be fetched in the delivery document.
So please verify if your Shipping point is having the Transportation Zone maintained.
Regards,
Karthik.

Route Determination and Shipping Point

Hi,
In what way Route Determination and Shipping Point are connected.
advise please.
thanks

Simon,
The country and transportation zone of the Shipping point is also considered for determination of Route in sales order and also for redetermining it in delivery.
The system can automatically determine a route for each item during order entry. If visit lists/plans underlie order entry the system uses the routes from the visit lists/plans. If no visit lists/plans exist, the system performs standard route determination. The following criteria affect route determination in an order:
·        Country and transportation zone of the shipping point (departure zone)
·        Shipping condition
·        Transportation group of the material
·        Country and transportation zone of the ship-to party
the system is to perform standard route determination in the delivery again, it also takes into account the weight group (weight of entire delivery). The system saves the delivery route in the delivery header. As it is saved in the document header the route applies to the whole delivery
Regards

Route Stage data in Route determination

Hello Gurus,
We have scenario where in route defnition is not required. I am using the route just to have transportation implemented so I can use the shipment document.
I cannot maintain the route stage information Service Agent, shipping type, Distance, duration etc as all these are decided on the fly at the time of dispatch based on the weight volume of the material available for dispatch.
I get the message "Route 000001 has no valid legs" when I enter into the shipment, as I have not maintained the complete route information.
We have different phases in Shipment like Planning, Loading Start, Loading End.. could anyone plzzz explain me the use of these phases in shipment processing. Is it mandatory to maintain all these??
rgds,
Pavan P.

Hi Pavan,
Go to Transportation in the IMG there you go to Detail screen of the shipment type, in the detail screen of the shipment type there are fields called Adopt Route and Determine legs based on these fileds the legs (stages) will be dtermined in the shipment document.
Go through this link it is having details about automatic leg determination and manual stages creation in the shipment document.

For One more doubt.
You fallow these steps
-->You create condition table with the fields Shipment type you can get the shipment cost based on the shipment type.
I-->n the condition type you select calculation.type as 'R' Distence dependent assign the access sequence.
-->You Maintain the condition record for that in TK11.
-->Maintain pricing procedure and determine the procedure in the IMG.
You can get the simulation of the shipping cost at order level with out hitting the G/L account.Based on this you can select cheaper one.
Shipment Cost Information in the Order
As the shipment costs can make up a large proportion of the total cost of a product it is important and therefore recommended that you have a rough idea of the shipment costs when the order is created. As in normal situations no deliveries, shipments or shipment cost documents exist at this point, simulated versions of these can be "created" in the background to enable you to calculate shipment costs on the basis of these documents.
This means that you can estimate shipment costs. When you make the appropriate setting it is also possible to implement several calculations at the same time, in order, for example, to determine whether transport by lorry or by train would be cheaper or how much more it would cost to send by express delivery rather than by standard transport.
Integration
Shipment cost information is called up in SD order processing but uses the transportation and shipment cost processing functions.
Prerequisites
Shipment cost information in the order can only be used if the control parameters and master data for transportation and shipment cost processing have been maintained.
Features
To calculate shipment costs in the order you can define profiles for shipment cost information. The profile for shipment cost information contains default values for shipment cost information in the order, for example, the transportation planning point, transportation type and the shipment pricing procedure. The profile for shipment cost information is assigned to a sales document type (when defining the sales document types in Customizing for Sales and Distribution). If you do not want to carry out comparisons between the calculation methods, but just want to receive an estimated value for the shipment costs, then use the details from the profile for shipment cost information (transportation planning point, transport type, pricing procedure) and the data from the order (forwarding agent, route) for calculating shipment costs and the related simulated creation of transports.
-->If you do not assign a profile to the sales document type, you can also enter the transportation planning point, shipment type and service agent in the order.
To carry out a comparison of different calculation methods, you can assign one or more shipment planning profiles to a profile for shipment cost information. This planning profile is used to create shipments in collective processing, in order to store specific selection variants and data, which should always be used, in the memory. A planning profile determines how deliveries should be put together with shipments and which data should be put in the shipment documents. You can assign various planning profiles to the profile for shipment cost information, in order, for example, to compare whether it is cheaper to transport by train or by lorry. It is also possible to assign a planning profile for creating transportation chains.
If you begin the calculation of shipment costs in the sales document, the data that is used to simulate the putting together of the two types of transportation, is the data which is saved in the order and in the shipment costs profile, which is assigned to the corresponding sales document type. If the planning profile is assigned to the shipment cost type, this data is also used for the parallel calculation of shipment costs, so that it is possible to compare different transportation options.
Calling up Shipment Cost Information in the Order
Procedure
Choose Logistics ® Sales and distribution ® Sales.
Choose Order ® Create.
Enter all the data from your order and save the document.
Call up the document again by choosing Order ® Change.
In the order, choose Details ® Shipment cost information.
You reach the screen where the planning profiles are listed. In the first line, you always have the planning profile . In this line you see the default values from the shipment cost profile that is assigned to the respective sales document type.
If you have not assigned a shipment cost profile to the sales document type, now enter the missing data for Transportation planning point, shipment type, and service provider.
If you have assigned a shipment cost profile to the sales document type, and there are shipment planning profiles assigned to this shipment cost profile, then the system will list all the shipment planning profiles that are assigned to the shipment cost profile.
Choose Execute.
Result
In the column Net value, you see the values calculated by the system. If several planning profiles are assigned, you can have the system make comparisons. In the log, you can display the details of the simulated shipments. If you have problems with the calculations, you can check the reasons listed on the log.
I hope it will help you

Murali.

Route determination in delivery without reference

Hi All,
I am creating Delivery without reference.In this after entering ship to party ,route is not getting determined initially with original shipping condition but when i change shipping condition route determined accordingly and when i change it again to original shipping condition then original route comes.
I am surprised why it is not getting determined initially.
Regards
Amit

If I understand your issue correctly, the Shipping Condition is not automatically defaulting in your delivery, and therefore, Route is not being determined. Please check that you have the correct shipping condition maintained in the customer master, Sales Area screens. This should default the shipping condition to the delivery, and hopefully help in defining route determination.
Also, check route determination config, to make sure that you have the correct combination of Shipping Point, Countries, transportation zones. Then, drill into the route to verify that you have the correct shipping condition, loading group, and route defined.
Good luck

Route Determination and allowed substitutions

Can anyone please help with the following issue.
I need to make changes in config so that a customer can receive a delivery on a different route than originally on the delivery.
i.e. customer x has an order with route a. The LSP shippes the order but changes the route to b or c.
How do I make the changes in config for a specific customer or Sales organisation to allow more than one route.
Thanks

Hi,
The system can propose route automatically via customizing.If alternative values are defined for your system you can change route manually in the delivery.It also depends on weight group(if product unit is weight) and configuration of delivery type(T-code-OVLK) for redetermination of route.
Route determination:
Departure zone of shipping pointShipping conditionTransportation Group+Transportation Zone of ship-to-party.
If you change any one of the above four criteria Route changes.
LE-Shipping-Basic shipping function-Routes-Route determination- Select Departure zone and receiving(destination) zone and Double click on the folder on Left hand corner (Route dete.with weight group or without weight group).
Maintain all required Shipping conditions,transportation group and actual route.
If you maintain these entries,it will allow you to change route manually in the delivery.(You need to hit F4 to display all possible routes).
2)If transportation zone of the customer is changed then you need to create another ship-to-party record for this customer.
Thanks,
Vrajesh

Freight Quote to be proposed without Route Determination (RGX)

Hi All,
I have a come accross a strange situation where the business demands that they need to see the freight quote irrespective of material availabilty. As everybody know for route determination (we are using RGX functitonality to determine route) to happen the material should be available in stock and only when we have a route we can get a freight quote. But here the business needs that the they need to see the freight quote irrespective of the material availabilty in the warehouse.
Any ideas?
Thanks/Aryan

Hi,
I am new to this scenario but what I understand if you want to know freight,you need to see whether in your transportation module you have such kind of provision to know freight on the basis of route.
I believe freight gets calcualted automatically when you create shipment considering your transportation module is in place. May be there can be any table which will give you freight on the basis of route. Please check.
Hope this will support you further findings.

Prashant
