Plant and shipping point is determined at Header or item level?

Hi,
Shipping point is determined at Header level or item level of Sales order?
How about Plant??
Thanks!!

Both Shipping point & Plant are determined for each Item in the Sales order automatically by the system.
For determining Plant, system first search the CMIR,
if not found the Plant there or CMIR is maintained then system searches Customer master of the SH, i
f here also not found then system sarches the Material master.
This is called Priority rule which is hard coded in SAP and can be changed by customisation.
For determining Shipping point, system takes three fields into consideration, they are
1. Shipping condition (first check Sales doc type , if not found then takes from Customer master of SP)
2. Loading group ( material master> sales org group 2)
3. Delivering Plant
So, they are (Shipping point & Plant ) item specific data in sales order.

How to get automatic plant and shipping point and storage location

hi,
sap gurus,
how to get automatic plant and shipping point and storage location automatically into the sales order
i have done all the config settings for that
but its not appearing automatically.
regards,
balaji.t

Hi
Balaji...
U can get the plant in sales order, by doing the default the same in customer master or in material master. In customer master -- sales are data--shipping tab delivering plant there u can assign and get the same in order for that customer. it is better to do in customer master rather than in material master.
Shipping point is getting determine in sales order and u can not make it default like plant. Shipping point is determine in the basis of Shipping condition of customer ( ship to party)+ loading group of material + Deliverying plant there u have to assing the shipping point and it will flow in the sales order. Tcode OVL2
For S loc u have to enter manually in the sales order u can not get it automatically.
Hope this will help you.
Thx.

Plant and shipping point have no connection but still order got created.

Hi All,
An order was created and subsequenty delivered and invoiced. Later on the goods were returned.
The problem which occured is that the return order have plant A and shipping point B, which are in no way connected to each other. There is no configuration done to attach this two, still the order got created.
I wanted to know even if plant and shipping point is different, can a order be created and saved.
Please giude me.
Regards,
Satish.

yes Satish
this is possible, take a scenario, suppose one company is having 3 plants A,B,C with shipping point A1,B1,AND C1 respectively. But the requirement is such that they will collect the material from plant A and deliver it form B1 shiiping point which is linked with plant B.
so it is possible to create and save order if plant and shipping point is different.
bye

Plant and Shipping point assignment

Dear All,
As a standard process we have copied the plants and shipping points in the development client and i have deleted the default shipping point and assigned the newly defined shipping point.I have forgotten to assign one plant and shipping point and i have even deleted the default shipping point.Now i have to assign the plant x to the shipping point x where i am not able to find the plant in the ovxc screen.Is there any way to find the missing plant or i have to delete all the assignments and reassign again.
Help required as early as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Ramesh.

1) Check in OX10 whether you could see that plant
2) Check in OVXD whether you could see that shipping point
If the answer to both is yes, then you should be able to see in OVXC also. If not, better try to delete in the above areas also, recreate and then check in OVXC
thanks

Relation between plant and shipping point

Hi all,
my simple question is, what is the relation between plant and shipping point ?
in book i read, it is many to many,
but in some web link it is showing 1 to many
what is the logic behind these two ans.
pls tell me the ans...
Regards
Avinash

Hi Hegal . K . Charles,
it is correct, as we discussed above it may be MANY to MANY .
Suppose, we hv 2 plant 1 in delhi and 2nd in nagpur. and this company want to export via inland water ways, in this case we can assign mumbai port to delhi and nagpur plant as well.
as you said it is correct, It is just not to overload the master data maintenance
Ex- In case of Sales Org. Its is always advisable to keep it minimum to per company code. Because master data records are multiplied by each additional org. element.

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

Available plants & redetermine shipping point

Hi experts, i have two problems. First, i will describe the situation and then the problem.
in our system , we maintain delivery plant field into customer master. From this reason, when i create a sales order, SAP copy this plant as default value in sales order.
Let's assume that we make a sales order for customer 10 which has plant P1 as default delivery plant. And material M1 with following available stock:
- in M1 plant 0 qty
- in M2 plant 10 qty.
First problem:
In this case , when i create a sales order, SAP will propose automatically P1 as delivering plant, but in P1 there are no stock (0 qty). Is there any way to propose automatically another plant when in proposed plant there are no available stock ?
Second problem:
In our system we have some generic materials which always will be delivered and shipped from one plant. So, let's assume that this plant is P1. If a customer has default plant P2, then in sales order will copy default plant from customer master. I solve this problem from a user exit (userexit_move_field_to_vbap) -- i make some modifications-- but the real problem is that, when i do this forced change, shipping point is not redetermined.
Is there any way to redetermine shipping point in this case (forced change of delivery plant) ?
I give you an example:
-customer 10, default plant P1
-material MG01 (this material should always deliver from plant X1, shipping point X1)
- two shippping points: P1 and X1
When i create the sales order, SAP propose automatically P1 as default plant...but in background, in user exit userexit_move_field_to_vbap i have some modifications: if material is MG01 then plant would be X1. But , in this case, shipping point will be determined based on old plant (P1) not based on new forced change plant (X1) so shipping point will be P1 instead of X1. So, is there any way to redetermne shipping point ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Is there any way to propose automatically another plant when in proposed plant there are no available stock
As fara s my understanding there is no automatic replacement of plant.you can do it manually
For determining shipping point as you used userexit for plant as like this you can force to change shipping point.

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!

Dear Gurus,
I've defined my Plant then later defined my shipping points. When it came to OVXC I could not see my plant so therefore I could not assign my shipping points to it. What is the reason for this .. did I miss a step? Thanks in advance.

1.define sales org.

How to Avoid the Tax and Shipping point and plant redetermination

Dear experts
my business requirement is to change the Ship- to address while creating the sales order . Due to this my taxes and shipping/plant data get re determined . The order type i am using triggers to planned order and availability check .
When i change the address of ship to the proposed date gets changed and effects the delivery planning ,
Please suggest a way if i chnage the address of SH during sales order creation or change ( VA02) . my shipping data should not determined and the availability check wont carry out
Regards
Vinay Kr Joshi

HI,
if you change the ship-to-adress, in my oppinion it is right, that there is a new planning.
if you wont have this planning, you should set the dates fixed in the availability check. sign date and quantity fixed.

Stock Transport Order-shipping point not determined

Hi MM Gurus,
We need to set up STO for transferring stock from plant 2000 to 1000. I have completed following setting.
IMG
Enterprise Structure-Assignment-Sales and Distribution-Assign sales organization to company code
Both the sales orgnizations are in same company code. We have only one company code.
Enterprise Structure-Assignment-Sales and Distribution-Assign sales organization - distribution channel - plant
The sales area 1000 is are assigned to both the plants 1000 & 2000 and sales area 2000 is also assigned to both the plants.

Plant 1000 is assigned to sales area 1000 & 2000. Plant 2000 is assigned to sales area 1000 & 2000.

For plant 1000 & 2000 cusomer master 56 & 57 respectively are maintained. The sales orginzation for these plants are 1000 & 2000 respectively.
Materials Management-Purchasing-Purchase Order-Set up Stock Transport Order-Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule
Delivery type NL has been assigned to document type UB.
The details of customer master 56 & 57 are as below
Account Group - Sold To Party
Reconcilliation account -121000
Delivery plant 1000 & 2000 respectively
Please note - No vendor number is maintained in these cusomer masters.
Created these plants as vendors
Account group 0007(Plants) and assigned plant numbers in the additional data of purchasing.
Material 251 is created and maintained in both the sales orgnization.
Now when I am creating the STO for transferring goods from plant 2000 to 1000, I am getting error message.
"Not possible to determine shipping data for material 251"
Am I missing something? Some documentation say that I should create a receiving plant as customer in the sales area of supplying plant. If this is true, how to do it?
Also, what is the significance of return vendor (maintaining vendor master in the customer) in this case?
Your any clue will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shekhar

Shekhar,
Customer must be maintained as a shipto as well.
In your STO config settings you don't need a customer assigned to the source plant, unless it will also be a destination plant (e.g. you also intend to execute STOs in the reverse direction, or from another plant).
While looking at your customer (shipto), you will also want to look at Route Determination for this customer. Typically, your route will be defined by customer zone (from cust master), shipping point zone (from shipping point definition configuration), and shipping conditions (customer master). Route will be used during delivery creation to schedule the delivery. Logically, the total duration between Material Availability date to Delivery date of the delivery (picking/packing/load/transit) should be something close to the planned delivery time in the Material Master, in order to maintain consistency throughout the entire planning and execution process.
Don't forget to maintain your STO Purchase req stuff IMG>MM>Purch>PurReq>Set up Stock Transport Requisition.

Plant Switzerland -- Shipping point Germany

Hello SAP masters!
We have our plant in Switzerland and some shipping points to this plant in Germany.
Is this with SAP possible?
Or we need for the shipping points in Germany a separte plant also in Germany?
Thanks for your held?
Best wishes
Petra Schober

Technically there is no problem to make this happen, even the shipping point has its own adress which is different from the plant adress. But technically these are just numbers that get assigned to each other.
From a logistics point of view, I see already an inconsistency.
If the plant is in Switzerland, how can you ship then from Germany?
You have to get the materials to Germany first to be physically able to ship from there. Of course you can set up a storage location to your Swiss plant that is located in Germany.
Germany is in EU, Switzerland not, so you might get bigger issues with necessary legal reporting to tax authorities as well as statistical offices (Intrastat report) with this setup.
Best you meet with Finance guys to talk about requirement and setup.

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
regards,
Archu

hi archana

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)
