Shipment and Delivery delays

Hello everyone!
I just recently ordered my new Imac on:
August 22, 2007
Ships by: Aug 27 - Aug 29
Delivers by: Aug 29 - Sep 6
On the 30th of August, they changed the dates around to:
Ships by: Aug 31 - Sep 5
Delivers by: Sep 5 - Sep 12
Finally it shipped on September 1st and was suppose to be at my door on the 5th around noon. I waited... and guess what? FedEx didn't delivery me my package!
So I checked FedEx's website to track down my package, and they took off the estimated delivery time... so now I don't know when it will be delivered.
I called today to see what the hold up is, the lady said it's still at the desk sort facility in Mississauga, ON. I asked her when I would be expecting my package to arrive? She told me she didn't know... (thanks lady!)
My Imac has been sitting for 2 days in Mississauga, ON...and I just live in Toronto, ON!!
But is anyone having the same problem as me or am I just too paranoid?!
Anyone know what's up with the delays??

People's deliveries DO get held up, I imagine this is a pretty busy time for delivery services, what with books and clothes etc for kids starting school.
I can understand your frustration at having it so close, yet so far, it;s difficult I know, but be a little more patient and it will arrive. Then you will forget all this and just enjoy your new machine

ShipMent and Delivery Extractor

Can somebody explain the differences between shipment extractors and Delivery Extractors (SD). when exactly we use shipment and when 2lis_12_vchdr or itm. If anybody has document on shipment please mail it
<b>[email protected]</b>
Regards
Kunal

Hi Kunal,
all these extraxt structures/ datasources are event driven Delivery extractor are purely based on even VC i.e. creating, changing or deleting deliveries.
while shipment ones are also influenced by VA & few others, mailing you a document on SD extarction, see if that helps.

HI
YOU CAN GET IT FROM TABLE VTTP by giving input as shipment no. u will get delivery no. from this table and then from table LIPS by using this delivey no. u can get all delivery details.
and in addition to that u can also refer link: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e944e133-0b01-0010-caa2-be2cb240f657

Check whether the PSN number which you have referred in delivery is SERIAL NUMBER PROFILE assigned. if yes then you have to specify the Serial Number in Outbound Delivery (VL01N) Extra >>> Serial Numbers.

Table link between shipment stage and delivery

Hi,
I am trying to find the tables which will tell me the delivery number belongs to which shipment stage.
Shipment stage I am getting from VTTS table and delivery from LIPS.
Pls. let me know. Points will be awarded.
Thanks.

VTTK-TKNUM = VTTP-TKNUM

Distinguishing between IDocs for Delivery, Shipment and Invoice

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where I am triggering IDocs from SAP for Delivery Document, Shipment and Invoice and sending them to a third-party middleware everytime they are created in SAP, by configuring output types for these documents.
I want to know if we have any field in these IDocs's Structures that can be used to distinguish between the different documents such that we can identify which document has been received based on this field (or combination of fields)?
I tried to use Document Category for this purpose, but this field is not available in Invoice and moreover, the IDoc Segment names are different for every IDoc's message type.
The key point here is that I am not allowed to do any sort of Customization in SAP to achieve this and I can only go about using the Standard Functions inherently available in SAP.
Please suggest a possible solution for this predicament of mine.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Keerthi

Hello Keerthi
I do not see where the problem lies.
We exchange via FTP share similar documents with one of our logistics partner:
Inbound delivery (VL33N) => sent as DESADV.DELVRY03 => converted on SAP-XI to TRADACOMS ORDHDR => file suffix .LTI
Shipping Order (VL03N) => sent as SHPORD.DELVRY03 => converted on SAP-XI to TRADACOMS ORDHDR => file suffix .LTO
I am not a fan of functional file names yet if the third-party tools is not capable to distinguish between the documents based on their contents at runtime then we need old-fashioned unique file suffixes.
Of course the two ORDHDR messages can be distinguished based on their contents. The message contains a TYP segment with the following qualifiers:
TYP/TYP2 = '0430' = (shipping) order (= outbound delivery)
TYP/TYP2 = '0660' = inbound delivery
From this logistics partner we receive two different kinds of DLCHDR (delivery confirmation) messages:
TYP/TYP2 = '0670' = Proof of Delivery for (shipping) order => mapped to STPPOD.DELVRY03
TYP/TYP2 = '0695' = Goods receipt for inbound delivery => mapped to WHSCON.DELVRY03
The files have different suffixes yet they are not evaluated. SAP-XI just picks both messages and evaluates at runtime whether it has to transform the DLCHDR into a STPPOD or WHSCON IDoc.

Line Item Delivery delay reason

Hi All,
I have a requirement where suppose in sales order there is only one line item. and the proposed delivery date or requested delivery date is x but due to some reasons the delivery date get delayed. I want user to maintain the reasons for delay.
Is there any sap standard config to maintain the same.

In standard, it is not possible. Reason for delay is purely due to business process which will differ from shipment to shipment and it can't be automated. User have to key in manually somewhere in unutilised fields.

IPad Delivery Delayed Twice - Ready To RMA At First Sight

Does anyone know Apple's refund procedure for shipments that are delayed twice? I have no clue what is going on with this shipment and I'm tired of waiting for it. I t was ordered 6 days ago and went AWOL in China for a few days. Last night it mysteriously showed up in Anchorage and said it had cleared customs.... it was first due August 24th, then August 26th... but it has not left Anchorage as of 3:30am PST.
I'm sorry for posting here, but the phone lines are not open for a couple hours yet, and I'm seriously grouchy. In all honesty, we did return an iPad earlier this month as it didn't seem to fit what we were looking for in certain areas. However, we discovered after looking at laptops that my spouse, who is permanently disabled, had problems with certain laptop aspects and the touch screen on the ipad was a better fit. So stupid me, I ordered another one.
I'm semi-superstitious and think this is a bad omen as a first time Apple switch over from PCs. At this point, I will certainly RMA this iPad and be done, as it's not worth a possible 3rd delay. Can they stop this shipment somehow and issue a refund?

I know it sounds impatient. It's not my critera, if someone says it's going to be here Aug 24, then oh no, now Aug 26, then oh no, now ... I don't know as this will be the third delay today - there really isn't a way it can be in Los Angeles by the end of the second delivery "deadline" this afternoon from Anchorage. Three delays is too much. As a plus, every Apple order from China has made it here in 3 days from shipment confirmation in the past with zero problems - a total of 8. We're going away in a week, and it's an awful lot of money for me to lose if this thing gets bounced back and forth and lost. We had sort of counted on it for the trip, but I can chalk it up to my own mistake and need to find something we can take with us to keep in touch with reality. The lack of touch screen isn't going to significantly hinder us, but it would have been a plus after all.
Ps!! I'm not knocking the product, or Apple people. What are so many people doing up so early????

Link between schedule Line Number and Delivery

Is there a link between Schedule line Number and Delivery number ?
Eg. Line item 10 with quantity 100.
has 5 schedule lines..with 5 different delivery dates.
1 . quanity 40
2.   quantity 30
3.   quantity 20
4.   quanity 6
5    quantity 4
For schedule line 1, 2 deliveries were created,
one      with quantity 20
another with quantity 15
quantity 5 is still not delivered.
also schedule lines 2,3,4 and 5 are fully delivered.
Is there any table, FM etc in SAP which will give me the link between the schedule line and delivery number ?
Total deliveries created : 6. - But which delivery corresponds to which schedule line ?
Please dont tell me to look VGBEL and VGPOS.. that will just give line item number 10.. I need to get the schedule line number.
Also, RV_SCHEDULE_CHECK_DELIVERIES --> will give me the delivered quantity against each schedule line.
My purpose is to create an ontime delivery report .
a report which list each schedule lines, and tell, how many shipments were late/ontime/early etc..
and for Late ones, how many days late has to be found.
this is where i need the delivery.
No. Of days Late = Actual GI Date - Planned GI Date.
Actual GI date is in the delivery.
Any suggestions ?
Thank you in advance.

Third party shipment and dropship differences

Dear all,
I have several questions on the following and it is always confused me:
1 - Is there a difference btw the Third Party Shipment and the Third Party Dropship? or are they actually means the samething? if not, please tell me the differences?
2 - May I know in what step of the above two processes does the MM functional come into the picture? (i.e. what part of the above process are own by MM).
Thanks.
tuffy

Hi Tuffy,
In Third party dropship scenario, customer give an order from your e-trade site or online sales site. after receiving the order, your contracted company with you will deliver the order, not you. you are adding your profit to the list pricing. Process is going below:
customer >> shopping from you >> payment to you >> getting the amount of profit after sales >>> sending of order and delivery information about customer to contracted company >> contracted company will deliver th order to the customer.
But in other type of third part sales, we sould create purchase order additionally.
I hope these will clarfy your confussion.

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.

Is "Bill Of Lading" is for Shipment or Delivery ?

Can any one tell me
Is "Bill Of Lading" is for Shipment or Delivery ?

u have a field called bolnr in likp ...
the concept is a bill of lading is a number/description
under which a delivery can be shipped
say there are 10 deliveries with bill of lading AXWE12345
now under this bill of lading number (AXWE12345 ) we can assign the all the 10 deliveries to be shipped ..
generally a Bill of lading is maintained for reference and it is used in the ship label ..
each ship label contains bill of lading number with the customer po reference number ship to party , box id number ,, dest code etc ,,
now in our example we have taken 10 deliveries under a single bill of lading so now all the ship labels will carry the same bill of lading number ,,
this stuff is actually done before the PGI.
hope this helps ,
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi,
I'm creating output type ZET1 for shipment. and creating a new'Z' program but its not a print program.
i'm going to assingn the program in TCode nace.
my problem is, if shipment status is planned (technically vttk-stdis = X and assigned outbound deliveries in the shipment have export indicator (likp-expkz = X)). then the output type will be triggered in back ground so i need a runtime data (VT01N Tcode).
Thanks in Advance.

Shipment for delivery from project

Hi experts,
With CNS0 I can create deliveries from projects. Everything goes fine, I can create the outbound delivery, pick and pack and do the post goods issue. But when I want to create a shipment for this outbound delivery I do get the following message: "number of deliveries found: 0". All seems like ok, I created lots of deliveries and shipments and I did exactly the same for the deliveries from project but somehow SAP cannot find any deliveries, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks
regards,
EK

Check when adding deliveries to Shipment Change the default status of goods movement from 'A' to 'C' I am sure this may be the mistake .
