Route determination in Outbound delivery

Hi Friends,
After STO is done i made an Outbound delivery for that STO. Is it possible to determine the route for the outbound delivery?
What is the significance of Route and Route Schedule in Transport Tab of Outbound delivery?
Please some one explain the route determination in Logistics execution master data and also what are all things i should define for route determination for outbound delivery?
Thanks in advance...I'm ready to provide more info on this.
Regards,
Arasu

hi
You can define routes in Logistics execution > Transportation. There are two ways to determine route in STO. One is manually enter route in STO and 2ndly is automatic determination. Automatic is recommended when there are big shipments. Automatic route determination is based on Shipping point, shipping conditions, ship to party. I recommend you to use manual entery route in STO. You can also calculate freight and shipping costs by using transportation in logistics execution.
Check the following links. You will find helpful material in these links. I am also configuring transportation in SD module. Transportation is done for both STO and Sales order.

Output determination for outbound delivery

hi ,
I have configured outbound delivery with standard output type LAVA.
The output type LAVA is determining automatically for header (EXTRAS-HEADER) whereas it is not determining for item ( EXTRAS-ITEM).
I am using Access sequence 0003 sales org/dis./div./customer .Also i have maintained condition record for 0003.
May i know why the output type is not determining for items?
Thanks

Hi Ganesh Ram
Use Out type SHOR with Access sequence--- DlvType/Shipping Point

WMTA output type not determining in outbound delivery

Hi,
Im in is-retail we are using lean WM for automatic transfer order creation, recently we made immediate delivery also, after this auto TO is not creating and WMTA output type also not determining in delivery.
pls help me any body why out put type is not determining and what is the solution?
Regards,
MMReddy.

There could be several reasons. Go to the document and in the extras-output check output determination analysis in the processing log.
If the output has been created successfully then you need to see your printer determination. Ask basis to check it up. If the problem is that even the print preview is not coming. Check your communication in the output analysis and ensure LOCL is selected. Any other printer will need to be configured.
If thats done already then check whether you have maintianed the condition record.
If that too is done then check whether your output type has been assigned to the output procedure and that the output type is listed in the procedure.

Print HU label from Outbound delivery using output determination

Hi,
We have a business requirement to print HU labels from outbound delivery. The steps followed are
1) User executes VL02N
2) User clicks on packing
3) Material is entered to pack. HU is automatically generated.
4) After saving the delivery, output message is triggered.
Output determination is as follows
1) An Z output type is created.
2) Form entry and smartform name is assigned to this output type
Issue:
The issue is when the output message is triggered and the code in the form entry is executed, the handling unit (from nast) is not yet committed in the database. Since it is not updated in the database table, we cannot get any handling unit data to be printed.
Any inputs on how to print HU labels using output determination from outbound delivery is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Surya,
Thanks for the reply. But, my question was how to print labels from VL02N when i pack a material on this delivery.

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.

Automatic Batch Determination prior to Picking in outbound delivery

Hi everyone,
My client currently wants to activate automatic batch determination. The main concern is that once the delivery is created, the picking can happen 2-3 weeks after the delivery. So in this case, they do not want batch determination during outbound delivery. They want to run the batch determination prior to Picking process. Is there a standard process to do this?
In addition, for batch determination, if it in an internal customer, it should take LIFO process and if it is external customer then FIFO process. Also if it is STO then it should take LIFO process. Does someone know how to control this
Thanks

Hi
Do it in the SO. In SM30 for V_TVAP_CH, set what the type of items of SO are determined for. For STO, do it for NLN and NLC in the delivery items (SM30/V_TVLP_CH). Check your ATP settings and that during this time (2-3 weeks) the stock for this batch goes on for your customer.
I hope this helps you
Regards
Eduardo

Hi,
MV45AFZZ should solve the issue.
Check the subroutines userexit_move_field_to_vbap and userexit_save_document_prepare.
Place a break point in all the subroutines and run VA01 and change the date. You can find the exact place where you can code.

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

Outbound delivery output not re-determined during goods issue?

Hi,
i'm currently in the process of testing an SAP upgrade from 4.6B to ECC 6.0, and have encountered the following problem: one of our outbound delivery output types (LD00) is supposed to print out at goods issue (which happens in VT02N, by the shipment).
In 4.6B, the output determination procedure correctly triggers at goods issue, however, in 6.0, it doesn't. Re-opening the delivery in VT02n causes the LD00 to be determined after all, but by then it's too late.
Does anyone have the slightest idea why the output determination isn't re-evalutated at goods issue?
regards
Rob

Hi,
Perhaps you are using an own VOFM subroutine to do filters if the output works or no. You create this subroutine with tcode VOFM, and after some steps you create an include in a report of SAP (SAPL). You can check if you are setting a VOFM in SM34/VVC_T683_XX_E1 for the output scheme. Sometimes is necesary to run this report to create and activate the report sapl, if no, when the abap call the subrutine, SAP doesn't find (perform * if found)
For VOFM there is a good document in google, format PDF, search it with the string inside vofm ext:pdf.
I hope this helps you

Eduardo

Intercompany return delivery route determination

Hi SAP gurus!
How can we setup route determination for intercompany return delivery based on Purchase Order?
We setup in SPRO route determination by delivery type RL by adding route determination check "A" which means "New route determination without check". But this doesn't work - route doesn't appear in delivery, when returns for Purchase Order is created.
What you would suggest?

Hi,
Route Determination is based on Departure Zone, Shipping Conditions, Transport Zone & Transport Group.
Departure Zone: Identify the shipping locations (Plants and shipping points).
Usually Plant, Shipping point and Departure Zone are same.
If multiple locations share the route determination then the Departure Zone is same for all the locations.
Shipping Conditions: Identify the shipping conditions to be used for Domestic, Exports and Intercompany.
Transport Zones: The destinations are defined based on postal code, geographic area and transit time.
For specific customers, specific carriers and specific warehouses special Transport Zones are required.
Transport Group: The global design is that all the materials are mastered as transport group 0001.
Thanks and Regards,
Shashi

Route determination in delivery without reference

Hi All,
I am creating Delivery without reference.In this after entering ship to party ,route is not getting determined initially with original shipping condition but when i change shipping condition route determined accordingly and when i change it again to original shipping condition then original route comes.
I am surprised why it is not getting determined initially.
Regards
Amit

If I understand your issue correctly, the Shipping Condition is not automatically defaulting in your delivery, and therefore, Route is not being determined. Please check that you have the correct shipping condition maintained in the customer master, Sales Area screens. This should default the shipping condition to the delivery, and hopefully help in defining route determination.
Also, check route determination config, to make sure that you have the correct combination of Shipping Point, Countries, transportation zones. Then, drill into the route to verify that you have the correct shipping condition, loading group, and route defined.
Good luck

Delivery dates not affected after route determination

The dates found on the shipping tab in delivery header are not affected after a route determination.
In sales order, if route is changed, the dates are affected.
In delivery, the route is re-determined at delivery creation, but if route transit time is different the delivery dates are not affected. It retains the sales order dates.
Need system to change dates according to new route.
Where is this set?

Hi,
Transit Time and Transportation Lead time comes from Route while Pick/Pack time and Loading time comes from Shipping point.
May be in your case, while re-determination of route, just check if the time is enough to affect the date i.e. more than 24 hrs or so
Hope you got it what I intend to communicate
Regards
