Organisation structure - Shipping points

Hi,
We are about to implement SAP for one of our factories, and we are in business modeling stage.
Question: is there any general rule when mapping the needed number of shipping points in a plant, except for "geographical" (if the shipping points are located far away from each other in the warehouse)? Also, is there any way to use LE to minimize the number of shipping points needed? They all have the same factory calendar so there is no need to create multiple shipping points because of that.
The plant would need at least one shipping point for the purpose of shipping/receiving returns/inbound delivery.
Thanks,
Lars

Hi,
As you know Shipping point is also used in determination of Picking location.
In a plant there might be more than one storage location and some of them might be warehouse managed. In case if you are shipping the material from SLOC which is not warehouse managed and also from the SLOC which is warehouse managed; in that case better to have 2 shipping points.
So that in Sales document once you have Shipping Point1 then the SLOC is 0001 which is warehouse managed and when Shipping Point2 is used then the SLOC is 0002 which is not warehouse managed.

Org structure quiries - about sales org to plant assignment &shipping point

Dear All,
My client is asking why the assignment of single sales organization with respect to all plants, why not separate sales organization for each plant?. But here we configured the single sales organization since a single sales department is there. How to convince the same to them effectively?
What is the significance of shipping point (to give an explanation to client) - my client is asking is shipping point is same as plant?
how do i convince them with the best possible answer

hi archana
My client is asking why the assignment of single sales organization with respect to all plants, why not separate sales organization for each plant?. But here we configured the single sales organization since a single sales department is there. How to convince the same to them effectively?
if you have more sales organisations,One distribution channel and three divisions. the no of sales ares willl be more
we have three sales organisations,One distribution channel and three divisions.
Nine sales ares we have
If you have more sales organizations then the master data will be more. so keeping sales organization to minimum will help to maintain master data easily
Possible reasons for having more than one sales organization for each company code:
· Different legal responsibilities, for example product liability
· Unusual stipulations (for example legal), which make it necessary to distribute different product lines separately u2013 for example, products for medicine and veterinary medicine
· The desire to separate completely the sales activities of different enterprise areas
Separate distribution responsibilities, each with their own Marketing and Pricing policy u2013 for example, one for the domestic market and one for export
Overlapping customer and product master records or the desire to maintain customer and product master data in a specific, unusual way
· Overlapping responsibilities for order entry, or for sales and distribution processing (sales authorizations)

The purpose of this activity is to define distribution channels which have common master data..
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Distribution Channels
Transaction Code: VOR1
12. Defining Common Divisions for Master DataUse
The purpose of this activity is to define distribution channels which have common master data..
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Define Common Division

Pricing Procedure
In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will through an error message.
In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as under:
Step 1:
Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Table (select the required fields combination, which will store condition record).
Step 2:
Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access sequence.
Step 3:
Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an existing similar condition type & make the neccessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to Condition type.
Step 4:
a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the neccesary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Maintain Pricing Procedure.
b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in SPRO is as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Determine Pricing Procedure.
5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW, etc.
Normal Sales Order Cycle:-
Step 1: Sales Document Type
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >
Sales Document Header:
1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business transactions, such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order type, always copy as with reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard sales order.
2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with discussion with core team.
3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:
A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions: Ensure to maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error.
B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order Types to required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per sales area.
Sales Document Item:
1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category
Schedule Line:
1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving Schedule Line: Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type.
Step 2:
IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Deliveries >
1. Define Delivery Types: If possible use Standard Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Item Categories for Deliveries: If possible use Standard Item Categories for Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
3. Define Number Ranges for Deliveries: Ensure to maintain number range.
Step 3:
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Billing >
1. Define Billing Types: If possible use Standard Billing Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Number Range For Billing Documents: Ensure to maintain number range.
3. Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents: Maintain relevant copy controls such as Sales Order to Billing, Deliver to Billing, etc.
The configuration differs from scenario to scenario & requirement of the client.

Organisation Structure for SERVICE Sector

Dear Experts
I am into implementation of SAP in professional service (IT Company)
I need to know what are the criterion for creating organisation structure for SAP in service sector.
Here diffrent type of services (Implemetation, t &m consulting, fixed bid projects etc) needs to be mapped in SAP.
Your inputs will be highly appreciated
Regards
DP

I will illustrate it with an example as below:
Scenario: Company ABC having Business operation in India and Singapore. Hence the Orgainsation Structure for SD will be as follows:
Company Code:
0001 - ABC Singapore
0002 - ABC India
Sales Organization:
0001 - ABC Singapore
0002 - ABC India
Distribution Channel:
01 - Domestic
02 - Export
03 - Intercompany
Division:
10 - Consulting
Possible Sales Area (Sales Organization / Distribution Channel / Division):
0001 / 01 / 10
0001 / 02 / 10
0001 / 03 / 10
0002 / 01 / 10
0002 / 02 / 10
0002 / 03 / 10
Plants and shipping points requires to be configured as per requirement.
Try to keep the Organization Structure simple, which will further facilite master data maintainance.
Hope the above is helpful.

Shipping point and storage location determination

for one of my delivery type i had defined shipping point determination as per following.
define shipping conditions
define loading group
assign shipping points: with combination of shipping conditionsloading groupplantprop shippping pointmanual shiping point.
i also checked the cmr and mmr both are correct.still system is not proposing shipping point and storage locatgion in my obd

Hi Charan
Shipping conditions is taken from sold to party
Pls check whether you are using a different SP and SH
Check in these t codes
In OVL2 are you seeing the shipping pt determination for your combination?
In OVL3 are you seeing the storage location determination for your combination?
If yes then shipping pt will be definately picked up in sales order
Storage location will be definately picked up in the delivery if you have assigned the rule MALA in OVLK
Have you assigned your delivering plant to your shipping pt in enterprise structure assignment?
This also check
Refresh the whole order and try again
If need be log out of SAP and relog and see provided you have youR OVL2 and OVL3 correct?
Note If shipping conditions are assigned to your order type in VOV8 then that will have priority over the shipping conditions of SP
So for that combination you should maintain shipping pt in OVL2

Staffing status within organisational structure - adding options (fields)

Hello
within the organisational structure (PPOME) on a position, on the basic data tab there is a drop down table marked STAFFING STATUS. Could you please tell me if there is a way to add to this list to seperate the position into various assignments and statuses.
thank you
Emma

Hi Emma,
These staffing status values of positions reside in the "value range" part of domain "HRPOSSTAT".
In order to add new values, you need an access key to repair this object.
Repair activities are not advised so please think twice before carrying out the activity.
P.S. To check Domain value range, go to SE11, select "Domain", write HRPOSSTAT, change -You'll need the access key right at this point-, Value range tab, add new values .

Dilek

Determine sales price with shipping point

Hi Experts,
We are trying to use shipping point as a key field (with sales org. distribution channel and ship-to party together) to determine the sales price. we have created a condition table with the above key fields, and maintained the relevant setting (access sequence, condition type and pricing procedure).
There is an error message in the sales order pricing analysis ("access not made" in the shipping point field).
In the access sequence, we found that the shipping point field's document structure is KOMK.
Can we put to item level field in the condition table and access sequence? is it possible??
regards
garima.

Hi.
Structure KOMK refers to header of the sales order, but shipping point of course is on item level.
You have to do some settings to reach your goal, it is possible.
Step 1
Append structure KOMP. Do this by changing through SE11 the table KOMPAZ.
This is the include for structure KOMP.
Add a component e.g. ZZVSTEL with component type VSTEL.
Save, activate.
If you want to make more points, assign search help H_TVST to the component.
Ask a programmer if you don't understand this part.
Step 2
Change user exit MV45AFZZ. Say there that field ZVSTEL should be filled with information from your shipping point.
Do this under part FORM USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP.
The coding should be like tkomp-zzvstel = vbap-vstel.
Save, generate.
Step 3
Make a new table as you did before, but first maintain your new field in Condition: allowed fields.
When you create your new table you will see you have two shipping points.
With the button technical view you can check which one ZZVSTEL or VSTEL.
Step 4
Finish with the steps you did before. That was ok.
regards
Vivek.

Lead Time - Customizatiou0131n steps: Shipping point, route, and loading group

It says about delivery scheduling that "The lead time considers the shipping point, route, and loading group". Can anybody explain me briefly the customization menu steps about this sentence?
Thanks in advance.

Please go through this document it will help you
1) Maintain transportation planning point through Menu as follows:
IMG Maintain Logistic Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure  transportation planning point.
Create your own like BP01 enter the general data¡¯s required
2) Defining modes of transport:
IMG RoutesBasic Transportation Functions  Transportation Logistic Execution Define modes of transportDefine routes
Use the standard like:
Shipping type: 01
Description: Road
3) Define shipping types :
Basic Transportation Transportation Logistic ExecutionIMG Define shipping types Route Functions
Or through T-code: SM30
PT: 01
Description: Truck
Mdtr: 01
STPG: 0001
4) Define transportation connecting point :
LogisticIMG DefineRoutes  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation Execution Define transportation connection pointsroutes
Copy the std point and make it FB01 as departure zone and FB02 as destination zone
5) Define routes and stages.
 Logistic Execution IMG Define Define routes Routes  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation routes and stages
Use the standard route and copy it as FB0001 and enter the departure zone and destination as what we created.
6) Defining Transportation Zone:
Basic Transportation Logistic Execution IMG Define transportation Router determination  Route Transportation Functions zones
Use the standard transportation zone depending on the route so as for the example use 0000000003 - Southern Region
7) Maintain country or transportation zone for shipping points
 Logistic Execution IMG  Route determination  Route  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation Maintain country and transportation zone for shipping point
Shipping point be ASH1 and route as 0000000003 which is assigned to country India
8) Maintain route determination:
Logistic ExecutionIMG Route determination Route  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation  Maintain route determination
Country of departure: India
Departure Zone: 0000000003
Country of destination: India
Destination Zone: 0000000003
And enter the datas needed like shipping condition 01, etc.
Maintain Transportation relevance for shipping point, sales document type and delivery types.
9) Now create shipping types
IMG Define shipment Shipments  Transportation Logistic Execution types
Copy the standard 0001 and make it to AFIL
10) Define and assign traffic zones through T-Code: T_76 (or) thru menu as follows
IMG Define Basic functions  Shipments cost  Transportation Logistic Execution and assign tariff zones
Copy the standard and make it to FABTARIFF and assign our transportation planning point as ATP1, ATP2 assign tariff zone to every particular transportation planning point
11) Define and assign pricing procedures
Shipments Transportation  Logistic Execution IMG define and assign pricing Price control  Pricing cost procedures
Copy the standard shipping cost pricing procedure SDFC00 to FBSC01
12) Assign purchasing data:
 Logistic Execution IMG Assign purchasing data Settlement  Shipments cost Transportation
13) Assign transportation planning point to shipping condition, purchase organization, purchasing group and to plants.
14) Define Automatic G/L account determination:
 Transportation  Logistics Execution IMG Automatic G/L Account Determination Settlement Shipment Costs
Or through T-code: OMWB
Use G/L account 614000 as used in standard
15) Automatic determination of CO assignments:
IMG Automatic Settlement  Shipment Costs  Transportation Logistics Execution Determination of CO Assignments
Or T-code: OKB9
16) Maintain shipping point address.
 Logistics Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure Define, copy, delete, check shipping point
17) Creating G/L account centrally.
Financial AccountingAccounting  Master Records  General Ledger 
Individual Processing Centrally
Or through T-Code: FS00
18) Enter the G/L account 614000 to the company code AFIL
19) Create transportation condition records:
 Shipment cost  Transportation  Master data Logistic Execution createPrices
Or thru T-code: TK11
Enter condition type FB00 that is freight condition type, which is used as standard in the shipping cost pricing procedure.
Enter the price and save it
Process:
1. The system determines the pricing procedure for the shipment cost item-using transportation planning point, service agent and shipment cost item category
2. Calculation Basis
3. Condition Record
4. Access sequence.
For the sales order, create a delivery using VL01N and pick the goods. Now create a shipment using VT01N and assign the delivery to the shipment document. Make sure to enter the carrier and other details before performing the transportation planning and execution. Save the shipment document and PGI for the delivery would be done automatically.
A shipment represents a physical goods movement between two or more locations.
For the system to create a shipment, shipping-relevant deliveries must exist.
You use Transportation Planning to group pending deliveries into shipments and then to perform the shipments.
The outbound delivery documents contain routes that the system calculates in route determination, and a transportation planning date for the delivery.
Dynamic transportation planning is responsible for grouping together outbound deliveries into shipments that have at least the same route, visit plan type and the same transportation planning date.
The following restrictions can be taken into account for a shipment in Dynamic Transportation Planning:
Weight
Volume
Variable capacity
Number of stops
Maximum duration
Loading units
Create Shipment Document
Use
After the status of the delivery is open for transportation planning, it is possible to create a shipment document to schedule the transportation.
Transportation Create Single document Logistics Logistic Execution  TransportationPlanning
T.code: VT01n
Enter your transportation planning point and shipment type. Press enter.
Creating the shipment cost document

Generally process is-
1) VL01N
2) VT01
3) VL02N - PGI
4) VI01
5) ML81N Service Entry Sheet
6) MIRO Invoice Verification
Shipping docs (VT01) are created before PGI...
You cannot carry out transportation planning or creation of shipment after the goods issue has been executed. Once goods issue is done it means that the material has left your premises so there is no need for a transportation planning after it.
In case you need carry out the shipment documents at the end of the day you could just create the delivery documents during the day and at end of the day create the shipment documents and the goods issue

Relation between Sales org and Shipping Point

Hai all,
Can any one tell me wt is the relation between Sales Org and Shipping point?
Ravi
< PLEASE DONT USE SMS LANGUAGE AND PLEASE SEARCH THE FORUMS. >

Hi Ravi,
There is no direct relation.
Sales organisation in broader level, it is responsible for selling a product in a company.
It is liable to the customer interms of service of the product or service and confirmation of the sale order, delivery and invoicing.
Shipping Point is a logical point from where the shipment / dispatch begins.
Both Sales organisation & Shipping point wil be linked to plant (one or more).
In case of sale order, sales org will decide the delivering plant.
Shipping point will be picked based on delivery plant, sh.conditions (cmr) & loading grp (mmr).
hope this is clear to you now!

Assigning Printers to Specific Shipping Points

Hi,
Our system has multiple Sales Organisations, within each - one plant/warehouse/shipping point.
I have added additional plants to a few of these sales orgs, along with the relative warehouse and shipping point.
Sales users now have the option of selecting a plant when in a sales order - depending on stock availability at each. We successfully have multiple deliveries generating for differnt plants, under 1 sales order.
However:
I don't know how to assign a separate printer device to each shipping point/plant. The plants are separate warehouse locations therefore it needs to be automatic.
I've tried VP01SHP, however all 60 shipping points that alreeady existed showed the same data, there must be somewhere else that defines them to a separate device?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Go through this IMG path to find the settings about LD00 output type (as shipping point related data will be maintain in appl V2).
SPRO path
IMG - LE - Shipping - Basic Shipping Functions - Output Control - Output Determination - Maintain Output Determination for Outbound Deliveries - Maintain Output Types, here you can find the LD00 Output type.
For more settings go through this IMG steps
-Maintain Condition Tables, 21-DlvType/Shipping Point
-Maintain Output Types, LD00 (Std Access sequence 0005-SalesOrg/Customer), so, to modify create Z Output type by copying LD00 and .
-Maintain Access Sequences, try 0010-DlvType/Shipping Point
-Maintain Output Determination Procedure, V10000-Header Output
-Assign Output Determination Procedures
Hope this can assist you in understanding or refer [output determination|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=ERPLO&title=outputdeterminationusingconditiontechnique&decorator=printable] for the same.
Thanks & Regards

VA01 - Can't confirm order because shipping point is missing

Hello Gurus,
I cannot confirm a sales order in VA01.
Upon confirmation the system brings out the "Incompletion log" with the following message:
Item 100: Missing data: Shipping Point/Receivi
Now, I have checked my company structure and my shipping point ZSP2 is assigned to the plant BER1
The plant itself is maintained in the shipping view of the Customer MD and in the Material MD
When I try to manually add the shipping point at item level in the sales order, the system tells me there is no value for that field.
I understand the item 100 is part of the sales document OR which is the basic Sales Order Document Category I am using to create a sales order.
Can someone explain to me why is that so and what can I do to allocate the shipping point automatically in the sales order?
Please advise
Regards
Chris

For the combination of Shipping Condition from Customer Master, Loading Group from Material Master and delivering plant, shipping point will be determined.
Check in OVL2 whether you have assigned the shipping point for the above combination.

Problem in Shipping point det'n

Hai,
I have 15 shipping points for a single plant.
when am doing shipping point determination,
I have
entered the combination of
ship cond + load grp + delplant = proposed ship point/Manual ship point ( 1-11)
I would like to enter all the ship points in manual ship point,
where as i can enter upto 11 ship points only.
I have checked the table:TVSTZ in which VSTEL ( man ship point ) has upto 11 fileds only .
to add other ship points should i add one more col as VSTEL12-15,
is there any other option,instead of adding one more column,bcoz its std table which we r nto supposted to modify.
if we create ZTVSTZ ( copy of TVSTZ) , we may need to append in many other places where ship point is linked.
suggest me, shall i go with first option or the later one
thanks

Hi,
I have had a discussion with my ABAP'er and our common thinking/advice is to choose the first option itself. This is because this table is already been linked with various tables/structures and by appending this table with putting includes {as per your requirment} would be the advisable option to go for.
But, still then you can have a discussion with your ABAP guy as well...

2LIS_12_VCITM populates the same Shipping Point and Receiving Plant

Hi Gurus,
We are using 2LIS_12_VCITM extractor which answers all delivery-related requirements. However when I checked the data in RSA3, Shipping Point and Receiving Plant are the same. So I checked some sample deliveries in table LIKP and it shows the correct shipping point and receiving plant (which are different to each other). I checked VL03N and table LIKP is giving the correct shipping points and receiving plants. Receiving Plant or LIKP-WERKS and Shipping Point or LIKP-VSTEL. My question is how this happened? Consequently, when I initialized in BW, shipping point and receiving plants are the same which should not be.
Thanks for all the help.

The data for the 2LIS_12_VCITM is not just sourced by LIKP (Delivery Header), but by LIPS (Delivery Item) too.
Plant, in this extractor, is sourced by LIPS-WERKS instead of LIKP-WERKS. The receiving plant is LIPS-UMWRK. If you require this data, you will have to enhance the structure and create the User Exit code in tcode CMOD to extract that particular data.

Shipping Point Determination

Hi,
SD GURUS
Client Requirement is
Extend Ship Point TSA2 Plant 1001
Extend Ship Point TSA2 Plant 1001 for Ship Condition 06 "Ship or Barge"
and add Loading Group 0002 "Bulk Bin".
I have tried the same in OVL2. Its throwing error as an entry already exist.
I have checked the same. But there is no entry in this combinations.
Guide Me Gurus.

Hi,
1. Check whether shipping point assigned to plant in enterprise structure in OVXC.
2.If Shipping point already assigned to Plant then try Tcode: OVL2
Shiping condition + Loading group+Plant = Proposed Shipping Point, Manual shipping point, in your case check as below
Shipiing condi 06 + Loading grp 0002+Plant 1001=Shipping Point -TSA2
