Delivery and Shipment Scheduling with CPS

Dear Experts,
I am tryijng to explore configurable process scheudling in APO to realize a business need of scheduling based on means of transport which in itself is conditional upon a couple of things..one of which is difference between RDD and order date. The purpose is to schedule "fast" or "slow" depending on certain criteria like order priority.. rather than having to live with a static TRANSIT times. Transit times itself can be highly variable talking of ocean shipments with transhipments etc being common and thats where the emphasis lies. I am not talking here of what if product is not available etc at this point (ATP) I am only interested in determining the material availability date and hence the ability to derive a more realistic unloading date given that I have some extenal feed of transit times.expected and actual (post facto)
Quesiton:
- Does this sound possible with configurable process scheduling
- If so... pointers would be appreciated.
Regards,
Loknath

The condition table technique within CPS is almost exactly similar to the basic condition technique for transportation and shipment scheduling within GATP.
The only difference is that CPS is a lot more flexible - Instead of fixed activities for PICK/TRAN/etc, you can add more activities (HOLD/etc). In addition to duration determination, CPS can also do calendar determination/ time zone determination/ location determination using the condition technique.
So in either case, you still have the same limitations of condition tables - you cant have 'nested' logic and nor can the system pick the 'best' option.
TP/VS offers dynamic route determination. I believe this is still within the GATP check, but I could be wrong. See if it meets your requirement.

    Packing proposals in sales orders and scheduling agreements
    It is possible to enter packing proposals in sales orders and scheduling agreements. These specifications automatically lead to a packing proposal in the delivery if a special data transfer routine is maintained in Customizing for copying control between the sales documents and the delivery. The packing proposal can be changed in the delivery. It is also possible to pack the delivery according to the packing proposal in the preceding document by using the Use proposal function in delivery processing.
    Define the data transfer routine:
    SPRO > LE > Shipping > Copy Control > Define FORM Routines for Data Transfers (menu > Data Transfer > Handling Units)
    Set the routine in copy control

  • Delivery and shipment text.

    Hi Friends,
    It might be simple question, however I want to know how delivery & shipment text can be maintained.
    I mean we are interested to give delivery as well as shipping instructions and that should be populated in delivery and shipment document
    What configuration setting requires for above and where one need to maintain this information so that system would collect data whenever required.
    Thanks
    Shiv

    Hi Shiv,
    You can do this but in order to do this you need to do the customising in text control
    Go to IMG
    LE>Shipping>Basic shipping functions>Text control>Define text type
    You will find different options in there, So choose the text type for delivery document and define text type and then define text determination procedure and then assign the procedure to the delivery document type you wish.

  • Automatic Goods Issue after Outbound delivery and shipment.

    Hi,
    I am working on LES part.
    Could you please explain me how to do Automatic post goods issue for shipments.
    (in our scenario where after outbound delivery, picking, packing shipment takes place.)
    Can we use VL23 for automatic goods issue for shipments? (or igoods issue is only for outbound deliveries?)
    If so what is the selection criteria for background scheduling-Variants?
    Please explain me in detail
    Thanks a lot.

    Anil,
    Not sure if I understand your question, Goods Issue is posted for the delivery and not the shipment.  In a shipment you can update the actual values for Planned, Check-In, Load Start, Load End etc values.  A shipment can have single/multiple deliveries, you can use VL23 for scheduling a background job to do the PGI automatically, use either the standard variants or define your own variant and use that variant to schedule the job.

  • DELIVERY AND TRANSPORTATION SCHEDULE

    HI
    How we configured delivery and transportation's schedule in sap please explain configuration steps
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Reddy,
    Delivery Scheduling and Transportation Scheduling
    Shipping activities and transportation can be scheduled automatically in sales documents.
    Picking/packing and loading, transportation scheduling and transportation can be planned and optimized on the basis of the dates determined.
    There are two different types of scheduling:
    Delivery scheduling
    The SAP System takes into account the pick/pack time and loading time for a transaction.
    You define the type of delivery scheduling for each shipping point.
    Transportation scheduling
    The SAP System takes into account the transit time and the transportation scheduling time for a transaction.
    You define the type of transportation scheduling on the basis of the route (see sections "Route definition" and "Route determination").
    You define for each sales document type whether delivery scheduling and/or transportation scheduling should be carried out.
    For the dates to be determined automatically on the basis of the requested delivery for an order item, you must define both the times and what influences the determination of the date.
    You need to carry out the following:
    Define for each sales document type whether scheduling is to be carried out and, if so, which type.
    Define the indicators for scheduling for each shipping point.
    Define:
    Pick/pack times
    Please fallow below steps:
    SPRO > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Basic Shipping Functions > Scheduling > Delivery Scheduling and Transportation Scheduling
    STEP 1: Define Scheduling by Sales Document type
    Here have to assign your Sales Document type to your Del and Transportation Scheduling if the system what to carry the Scdheduling Automatically.
    STEP 2: Define Scheduling by Shipping Point
    Here if you want to carry Determine Loading time  and Determine Pick/Pack time Just select the "C"- Default for Shipping Point and give respective Hours/Days here.
    STEP 3: Maintain Working Hours
    Here can maintain shift like ( Morning, Afternoon Shifts etc., with respective Start and Finish time.
    STEP 4:
    Here we can difine duration for Shipping point,Routes, Pick/Pack time and Loading time.
    Hope this solves your Purpose.Please Reward Points if really helpful,
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Auto Create Outbound Delivery and Shipment from IDoc

    Hi Ppl,
    Currently, we have a transport company which handles all our transportation of goods to our customer.
    We develop a project, phase 1 which we automatically sends sales order in form of IDocs to our transport company and they in turn we send us an excel file on how they have group those sales order into shipment using their own criteria of weight, destination, customer etc.
    Now, on our phase 2 of the project, we want the transport company to send us this file in form or IDoc or acceptable file format and which will automatically create outbound deliveries and shipment on how they grouped it.
    This should also be able to change deliveries or shipment if the sales order changes.
    Please how do we go about this?
    Thanks all for your help.

    Hello,
    As far as I know, you need to have a custom IDoc scenario for this. Here is what you can do.
    1. Create a custom IDoc Type to receive Orders.
    2. Create a Custom message Type & Custom Process code along with the Custom Posting Program (FM) for this requirement.
    3. Perform the validations & process the IDocs by using the WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE & WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2 for creating Deliveries & BAPI_SHIPMENT_CREATE FM to create the Shipments.
    This being a custom scenario, you'd be required to do some custom development as well in order to meet up with your business needs.

    It is possible to provide the component to the vendor for existing purchase order through a delivery and shipment.
    See below SAP documentation: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_07/helpdata/en/4d/2b906243ad11d189410000e829fbbd/content.htm
    From the SC Stock Monitoring for Vendor list, you can also create a delivery via Shipping. The advantage of this procedure is that you have shipping documents and delivery notes for the shipment of the materials to be provided to the subcontractor
    To create a delivery, the following data has to be maintained in the system:
    the plant must be assigned a sales organization, a distribution channel, and a division. You can define this in Customizing for Purchasing, in the step Set Up Stock Transport Order.
    A delivery type has to be defined for the plant from which the items are to be delivered. You can define this in Customizing for Purchasing, in the step Set Up Subcontract Order.
    If you want to reference a reservation when you create a delivery, you also have to set the Predecessor necessary indicator to L (Provision to subcontractor necessary) when defining the delivery type. This means that the requirements generated by the reservations can be correctly offset against the deliveries created. You can define this in Customizing for Shipping, in the step Define Delivery Types.
    The vendor for the stock with subcontractor must be entered as the customer in the organizational units in the delivering plant, such as sales organization, distribution channel, and division.
    The material to be provided has to be entered for the organizational units in the delivering plant, such as sales organization, distribution channel, and division.
    The combination of shipping condition (from the subcontractor’s customer master record), loading group (from the material master record for the components to be provided), and the plant have to be assigned to a shipping point. You can define this in Customizing for Shipping, in the step Assign Shipping Points.
    To create a delivery, choose Edit → Create delivery. A dialog box appears, in which you can enter the data required to post the delivery. The system posts the delivery in the background and, after posting, it informs you in a dialog box how many items were posted.

  • Delivery vs Shipment

    Hi Experts,
    "Unlike packing in the delivery, packing in the shipment can be carried out for several deliveries."
    I would like your help to clarify why the difference between Delivery and Shipment.
    How can a delivery be made or a delivery order be processed without a Shipment?
    Thanks.

    Dear,
    The SAP module Logistics Execution makes a distinction between deliveries and shipments. A simple example can explain this difference.
    What is the difference between deliveries and shipments?
    The SAP module Logistics Execution makes a distinction between deliveries and shipments. A simple example can explain this difference.
    When you order groceries on-line for delivery within a few hours, the supermarket receives your order and verifies the availability. The sales order is converted into a delivery for those products in stock. Normally your order will only consist of a few items, and therefore will not fill one van. Instead the car used to deliver your order contains many orders from various customers who live in your area.  The shipment is used within SAP to group deliveries with the aim to have each shipment to represent a full car of groceries.
    You notice personnel with their carts collecting the products within the shop.  This picking activity is linked to a delivery. The ownership of the products change when they are placed in the van, which is called the u2018goods issue postingu2019 within SAP.
    Typical shipment related statuses are the planning, loading and physical delivery of the products. Each shipment is linked to the van, so you could link the driver and car registration number to a specific shipment within SAP.
    So the next time you see a van delivering groceries to customers, the car is the shipment and the bags of groceries for a specific customer is a delivery.

  • Forward and Backward Scheduling

    I have a couple of related questions.
    1. Where can I configure if I want Forward/Backward Scheduling in Customization? and if I leave it blank will it do forward or backward scheduling?
    2. Does the system not perform backward scheduling if Replenishment Lead Time (RLT) is setup? If yes why?

    Hi,
    Backward scheduling is the calculation of deadline dates: the arrival time at the customer site is calculated as the earliest
    possible goods receipt time at the customers unloading point on the requested delivery date. All four of the delivery and
    transportation scheduling lead times are subtracted from the customeru2019s requested delivery date to determine if this date can
    be met.
    The transit time, loading time, and pick/pack time are subtracted from the customeru2019s requested delivery date to calculate the
    required material availability date.
    The system calculates backward scheduling as follows:
    Requested delivery date minus transit time  = Goods issue date
    Goods issue date minus loading time = Loading date
    Loading date minus transportation lead time = Transportation scheduling date
    Loading date minus pick/pack time = Material availability date
    Forward scheduling is also done if no product is available on the material availability date calculated by backward
    scheduling. The system does an availability check to determine the first possible date when product will be available. This
    new material availability date forms the starting point for scheduling the remaining activities.  The loading time, pick/pack time,
    transit time, and transportation lead time are added to the new material availability date to calculate the confirmed delivery
    date.
