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.

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

Route Determination and Carrier

I have been assigned to a project in which I need to set up route determination for all customers. I have reviewed the documentation carefully, and understand the high-level configuration that is necessary. However, one item I cannot seem to find is how route determination can specify a carrier to be used for the shipment.
For the majority of our customers, we don't have specific routes with different legs, we simply have weight groups which determine the carrier we will use. For example, for customer ABC, if the weight of the delivery is between 1-20lbs, we will use Fedex Air, and if the weight is 20lbs+ we will use Fedex Ground. Another customer could have a totally different set of weight limits and carrier(s) they would like to use. We do have a few customers who would like to specify the specific physical route the shipment should take (east coast to midwest, then down to the south, or something like that).
For the first type (by weight) I understand that I can set up weight groups which will help derive the route, but I do not want the route to just equal the carrier. Instead, we would like to use route determination to help us determine both the route (physical legs in the trip [likely to be defaulted to a general route for most customers, but leaving the solution open for the future]), and the carrier, which would likely be placed as the Forwarding Agent.
Sorry for the long explanation, but if you have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Routes will be determined either by
a) Origin Country and Destination Country (with or without weight group) or
b) by Delivery Type
and I am not sure, where we define transport vendor per route. Right now, I dont have access to SAP and hence, am unable to confirm this. In fact, one route can have en number of vendors. When we create a shipment document, you can key in manually the transport vendor which also depends on your shipment type configuration where for the field "Copy routine", whatever assignment is made, based on that system will fetch the data.
This being the case, you can very well manually key in the required transport vendor in VT01N.
thanks

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Mark,
in my previous project we have a customized table created for all the route determination and used mv45afzz move field to vbap to determined the route.
not sure if there is a easier solution but at least it is doable through customization for sure.

What are the questions they will ask for route determination?

hi gurus,
may i know configuration settings for the route determination and the questions
on this topic will they ask in the interview.
thanks a lot to all gurus.

Hi
The route determines the means of transport and the legs involved. It influences transportation scheduling. For example, the system can determine from the route that goods are to be sent by rail to Boston. Therefore, during transportation scheduling, it takes into account how far in advance loading space in the freight car must be reserved.

Route determination for PO and Delivery

Hi Experts,
I would like to ask how to set up route fro deliveries and Stock transport orders.
Hope you can help me on this.
Thank you very much.

Mylene

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.
Reward if helpful...

Routes and Routes Determination

Hello All,
I m basically a technical person and i m doing recording for routes and routes determination.
I am facing one problem.
while executing transaction 0vtc in one system , while saving data its asking for transport request.
and when i execute the same transaction in IDES system , and when i save data it does not ask for the transport request.
Is there any config for that?
Please help me out...its required asap..
thanks,
jigs
Helpful ans will be rewarded.

Hi
not sure if this would help. but going through some of the older posts here, here's something I gathered:-
++++++++++++++++++++++
It also depends on the client settings, which is done by the BASIS guys. If the client settings are done in such a way that system should not generate requests then it will not generate a request.
If the system is created as a Sandbox then also system will not ask for a request.
using the T codes SE01 where all the list can be viewed , then select the task or transport request click on the trucj button .
+++++++++++++++++++++
hope it's a start

Transportation Group and Shipping condition fields in Route determination

Hello Guys,
Please, I heard that if I leave Transportation Group and Shipping conditions field empty Route determination would consider whatever value I put in Material/Custumer Master.
But the determination just happen if I put the exact value in either the determination and the Material Master for Transportation Group field for example.
Have you ever determined Routes leaving the fields empty?
Thank you,
Regards,

Hi,
Those fields Transportation Group and Shipping conditions available in Route Determination are essential to trigger the correct route in Sales Order level.
If blank the available routes need to be picked manually at Sales Order level.
Kindly check .

User exit for route determination in Stock trasnport order

Re-Org/Update Program for Route determination

Hi
does anyone know if there is a Re-org / Update program for Routes ?
I have added new routes, against Shipping conditions from NO and SE to many Western European Countries , and would like to update Sales orders/ deliveries with these new routes
Many thanks for your advice
Tony

Hello Tony
For the orders, if you have configured 'Define New Route Determination By Delivery Type', then route redetermination takes place during delivery creation and finds the new route. So I would say don't bother about fixing the orders.
Just ensure you have configured these 2 items in IMG:
LE/Shipping/Basic Shipping Functions/Routes/Define New Route Determination By Delivery Type,
and
LE/Shipping/Basic Shipping Functions/Routes/Define Allowed Actual Route By Proposed Route.
That leaves open deliveries which are not PGIed to be taken care of.

Route determination in PO

Hi Gurus,
Is there a difference in setting up of Route determination for STO (Stock transport Order) as I am getting route determined in my SO (Sales order) and not in when I create STO with same values like Shipping point, Transport Group, Departure Point and receivingpoint etc.
I am wondering if this needs to be maintained in some different transaction than 0VRK !!
Kindly reply and thanks in advance!
Regards
Bawa

Hi,
What u have mentioned may be the cuase. The determination may not be happening for the change in shipping Condition. one query.
In general, STO are between plants. Why are u assiging the same shipping Cond to the Customer for Plant (OMGN setting) that u are applying to Customer in Sales order. PLease correct me if i am wrong.
Have u tried to save the STO after you have changed the Shipping Cond and rechecked whether determination is taking place.?
This is a long shot. Please also try this...
After changing the Ship Cond. in the Shipping Data tab, (the correct route is not determined), change the material in the line and check if the Ship Cond remains same and the route is now correctly determined.
Idealy... As OMGN only allows a single Sales area to be entered for customer for Plant in SPRO, the Sales Area assigned there must be used for STOs. For all sales another SAles Org should be used. That way u can define a diff SC in the customer for hte Sales Area. Such A bifurcation also helps for reporting purposes.
Hope this helps.

Transit time setting in Route determination

Hi All
I am configuring route determination. We have a transit time of 5 days for one route and if the system encounters a Sunday in between, it considers sunday as holiday and confirms delivery after 6th day. Please note that we have maintained Sunday as holiday in the factory calendar because it should not allow shipping activities or any other activities on Sundays in the plant and shipping point, but transit should be allowed. (I mean, if a truck leaves on Friday, it will not take holiday on Sunday)
Please let me know how I can do that

Hi Monika,
I havent really tried this...but my logic says that you maintain the holidays and working hours by factory calendar under
SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions > Scheduling > Delivery Scheduling and Transportation Scheduling > Define Scheduling By Shipping Point
Here you would be able to maintain working hours and holidays for your plant/shipping point and Sunday would be a holiday.
In customizing for route determination maintain a new calendar with no holidays. So regardless of which day the truck leaves it doesnt have any holiday.
Here you would need to activate delivery and transportation scheduling based on shipping point.
Regards,
Amit
