Product Specific Transportation lead time

We need to maintain different sourcing lead times for different products in the "Transport duration" field of the "Means of Transport" of the transportation lane. The transportation lane exists between the Supplier and the DC. A single vendor would supply different products which may have different lead times.
Could anyone kindly give us pointers as to how this could done in the TL ?
Best Regards,
Mukundan

Hi
as well as Sanjog's answer another option is to keep just one TL MOT record and instead use the Goods Issuing time on the product Location record to account for the different leadtimes of product from a supplier. This time is added to the transportation time on the TL. It is the "GI Processing Time" field on the GR/GI tab.
Which method you use depends on the amount of different leadtimes you have from a supplier (a few and I would use Sanjog's method, more and I would use the GI time). The GI time can also be integrated in with the transportation planning of deliveries in the ERP system as well to give better visibility of milestones in the delivery tracking. (e.g. you have a planning point when the goods should be ready to ship as well as when they are due).

Unable to create entry under Product Specific Transportation Lane by BAPI Function Module

I am developing one RFC function module which will trigger BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2 to create transportation lane (/n/SAPAPO/SCC_TL1) in APO. But I am facing one problem while creating a new entry under “Product Specific Transportation Lane”. But I am not able to pass ‘Group Selection’ radio button field in BAPI11201TRPRODLANE2 structure since I am not getting suitable field, but Product Group Type and Product Group value I am able to pass. Can anyone help me if you have any idea on this?

Hi Siva,
Thaks for those function modules. I tried with '/SAPAPO/TR_TRPRODM_PUT'. This deletes from table /SAPAPO/TRPRODM but not from /SAPAPO/TRM and so the means of transport still appears in the transaction. Do you have any idea why it behaves this way.
Thanks

How to delete Product Specific Transportation Lanes?

I'm trying to delete a product specific transportation lane (like you would do in /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1)
but can't find an appropriate BAPI to help me do this. I see BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_DELMULTI but that seems to delete the entire Transportation Lane instead of a specific product's lane.
I've tried using BDC with /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1 but don't think it'll work since it's an ALV and I'll be running in background.
Anyone encountered this before?
thanks!
Paul

Product specific transportation lane

Dear colleague,
Can anyone explain me the relevance of the field consumption and unit in the product specific transportation lane. My SNP opt result does not come proper due to this field. The F1 help description is not much clear for this field.
Thanks
Sandeep

Hi
As far as my knowledge you can define transportation resource which we can in means of transport.
In the product specific means of transportation , in the consumption field you can defined the capacity which will be get used for specific product- means of transportation combination out of all the resource capacity have been defined in means of transport
Thanks

Diff between transit time - transportation lead time

Hi all,
What is the difference between transit time and transportation lead time?
Regards
Manivannan R

transpotaion lead time
is the time taken to arrange for a del i.e
your picking / packing and loadin time ususally this is done after material available date and ready for shipping point .....
means if fpr picking and packing it takes 1 days and for loading mat at shiping pint i takes 2 days then ur transpotation lead time wld b 3 days
transit time is whr is the time taken for the matreial dispatched from ur shipping point to reach the ship to party usually ur route.

Mass deleting product specific transportation lanes

I am trying to use MASSD transaction for mass deletion flag of T lanes. Can someone explain what component and attributes should I enter in selection criteria and components and attributes to be maintained?
I am doing product u2013 product in u201Cselection criteriau201D
Product u2013 block indicator in u201Ccomponents and attributes to be maintainedu201D
When I set fixed value to u201CDu201D and save, itu2019s giving me lot of warning and error messages. I doubt if I am using the right selection criteria
Example of error messages:
LANE (Product) : Time-based validities overlap
LANE (Means of Transport) : The validities of means of transportation XXXXX overlap
LANE (Product) : Product X does not exist in source location Y
Thx

Satyajit,
I deleted the product from location Y and tried MASSD again, still it shos some errors.
Main error being
LANE (Means of Transport) : The validities of means of transportation XXXX overlap
what does this error mean? I cjhecked the vality for both product specific trans lane and means of transport. they both are same. even if I want to change it in change mode, its greyed out.
I just checked one more material and it did not show any error message. but when I go check in SCC_TL1, i dont see "D" set for that product. do u know why it did not carry over from massd? Thx

Product Specific Transportation lane Vs All Products Transportaion Lane

Hi SNC Experts,
Every Day we are facing SNC RON XML failures due to Master Data setup issue in ECC.
I fond that we can setup a All Product Transportation Lane. I have not tried it.
I would like to seek Expert Advise on:
the -ve impacts of suggesting Client to use All Production TL. I am assuming this would actually remove the need to CIFing Info Records for New Materials.
Please advise if this is a good suggestion ?.
Thx
MJ

Hello MJ,
If you use All product for transportation lane then:
Supplier can see all the product which are there for plant in any of product field of SNC web ui by F4 help which means supplier can see product including those which he is not supplying.
Example:1234567890 is a supplier, plant ABCD and we have transportation with all product.
supplier supplies prodcut A and B only to the plant but plant has product A,B,C and D (which are CIF )
Now whenever supplier press F4 in product field of SNC Web UI supplier can see product C and D even though he is not supplying this product which not right.
Moreover, you will loose functionality like:
SNC copies the order unit, the unit conversion factors and the tolerances from the contract or info record (if no contract exists) into the PO item whenever the validation check "PO_CONTRACT_ASSIGN" si active.

Nikhil

Transportation lead,pick/pack & Transit time

Dear Friends,
After considering transpoartation lead time,pick/pack time,loading time & transit time system do confirm whether stock is available or not.....my doubt is whr do we maintain the above said times in the system?........

Hi saravanakumar
Transit time and Transportation lead time is taken from or maintained in Route
Loading time and pick/pack time comes from shipping point
You need to have clarity on backward scheduling and forward scheduling
For example you are creating a sales order today 15.02.2009 and the requested delivery date is 25.02.2009 from the customer side
Transit time is 2 Days
Transportaion planning time is 2 days
Loading time is 1 day
Pick/pack time is 1 day
Consider these settings
Now backward calculation System does a backward calculation first
25.02.2009 (requested delivery date) -- 2 days (transit days) -- 1 day (loading time) -- 2 days (transportation planning time) = that is on 20.02.2009 there should be enough stocks in the unrestricted stocks and system checks stocks for this day or date ,that is 20.02.2009 ,whether the stock is available enough
This date 20.02.2009 becomes the material available date
Note Transportaion planning time and Pick/pack time will run parallely and the higest of these two is considered for delivery scheduling so in our case Transportaion planning time is 2 days that is the highest and hence it is taken for calculation and not pick /pack time
If the system finds enough stocks on 20.02.2009 (that means it performs a availability check for 20.02.2009 depending on OVZ9 settings) that is material available date then it confirms schedule lines for that order this is backward
Same example order is registered today 15.02.2009 and if the customer wants stocks on 17.02.2009
This means 17.02.2009-2 days (transit days)-1 day(loading time)-2 days (transportation planning time) = 12.02.2009
The order registered date is 15.02.2009and the material availablity date is past 12.02.2009 or material available date goes to past.
This is illogical
This means backward is failing here and now forward calculation takes place
Forward calculation
If you have enough stocks today 15.02.2009 + 2 days transportation planning time+ 1 day loading time+2 days transit time = 20.02.2009
This means that is on 20.02.2009 the stocks can be confirmed for this order as against a requested delivery date of 17.02.2009
In forward the system will give 2 schedule lines first that is requested delivery date that is 17.02.2009(in our case) with ZERO qty and the second date as 20.02.2009 with full qty
In backward you will find only one date in the schedule lines which is the same as requeted delivery date that is 25.02.2009 in our case
Hope i made things little bit clear to you
Transit and transporatation planning will come from route if route is maintained otherewise it is taken as 0 days
Loading and pick pack time will be maintained in shipping pt if not maintained also then it is taken as 0 days (in enterprise structure logistice execution and your shipping point details it is maintained)

Lead time values are not appearing in the report for current year.

Hi friends,
Iam checking a report in production. where lead time values are displayed as 0 for 1 key figure lead time3 (w/0 dim) . i found there is a formula for this it shows like NODIM ( 'Lead Time 3' ).and there is a value for cal.lead time
how can i get values in the report.
Thanks ,
VRV.

Hi,
Although your question is not clear, I understood that the formula built on that KF is NODIM. Basically it means, units of measurement is not considered when calculating.
Eg: 5 Minutes + 5 Kilograms = 10
You please try to analyze your KF by the above logic. Then you would be able to figure out why the data is not appearing in the report..
Assign if helps...

How to set Blocking Indicator for product specific TransportationLanes?

Hi All,
I'm facing a problem while trying to set the blocking indicator for product specific Transportation Lanes-external procurement.
How can i proceed on the same?
I've figured out 2 methods for blocking the product specific TLanes.
1. using /SAPAPO/TR_TL_TRANSFER_BAPI.
2. using BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI.
I tried using the BAPI - /SAPAPO/TR_TL_TRANSFER_BAPI, which comes inside the DELETE BAPI - BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_DELMULTI. Although I had passed the parameters reg. external procurement, nothing seemed to be happening in the system. There was no blocking indicator - D(locked and flagged for deletion) set against the subjected TLane. In fact, to my amazement, the BAPI didn't return even a single msg. BAPIRETURN internal table after execution was empty.
Here, I'm passing:
(IV_LOGQS) TYPE /SAPAPO/LOGQS
(IV_LOGSYS) TYPE LOGSYS
(IV_CALLER) TYPE /SAPAPO/MD_CALLER
(IT_TR) TYPE /SAPAPO/TR_TTD_TR
(IT_TR_X) TYPE /SAPAPO/TR_TTX_TR
(IT_TRPROD_SRC) TYPE /SAPAPO/TR_TTD_TRPROD_SRC and
(IT_TRPROD_SRC_X) TYPE /SAPAPO/TR_TTX_TRPROD_SRC
I haven't tried on the second method yet. Is there any other programming alternative for setting the blocking indicator of a TLane / multiple Tlanes?
Could anyone pls explain and guide me on a suitable method to be chosen and the process to be followed, parameters to be passed, etc.

Hi Sanjay,
Use the standard BAPI: BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2 (according to SCM version you are using)
to update the deletion flag for product specific T-lane, in this BAPI you have to pass the data to EXTERNAL_PROCUREMENT parameter table in which LOCKED_FLG field is there in which you can pass the "D" for deletion or block flag.
Also you have to pass the same entries in EXTERNAL_PROCUREMENT_X parameter table of this BAPI.
If any further help required, refer the documentation of BAPI or let me know.
I hope this will help you to solve the issue.

Saurabh

Lead time issue

Dear Sap Gurus,
Is there is any report or in table to check all the transportation Lead time settings setting for particular plant for all customers ? Because i need to upload several new Lead Time due to the updation in transportation
I want compare the differences in system and the new Lead time whih is going to be updated.
Thanks
Guna

Hi,
Try joining VBAK, VBAP, LIKP and LIPS tables.
take sales order number, confirmed quantity and document date from VBAK and VBAP tables and populate accordingly Actual PGI date and planned PGI date from LIKP and LIPS table. You can also take BKPF and BSEG if required. From this you will be able to find the time required between punching the sales order for confimed quantity and delivery to the customer.
Thanks

Stock transfer between storage locations and lead time

Hello,
We use stock transfer orders between different storage locations. Is it possible to maintain the transport lead time between storage locations somewhere or do in need to use routes and scheduling?

Hi,
Try using movement type 313 and 315
313 -- Transfer posting SL to SL --- Remove from issuing SL
315 -- Transfer posting SL to SL -- Placing in Receiving SL
