Shipment Completion vs. Shipment End status

Hello !
A Shipment document has two statuses (amongst others): Shipment Completion and Shipment End.
I have not been able to find what the difference is between these two.
If someone can explain the meaning of each (as SAP has intended them to be), I would appreciate that.
When the truck leave the dock, would I set the Shipment Completion status, or would I set the Shipment End status?
Help appreciated!
Anisha.

Dear Anisha,
These are various transportation statuses
Planned: The shipment´s planning is complete.
Check-in: The vehicle arrives at the plant.
Start load: The vehicle is loaded or unloaded.
End load: Loading and unloading finished.
Shipment completion: The documents are created.
Shipment start: The shipment starts.
Shipment end: The shipment is finished.
I hope this will clear for you,
Regards,
Murali.

Shipment door should be released at loading end rather shipment completion.

Hi ,
There is a requirment from Business that " Door should be released at Loading end " instead of " shipment end "
is it possible for us to do this through Developement if so how ?
Loading end gets triggered when the last item on the TO is confirmed for the shipment and if we clear the door assignment on the loading end and in the meantime it another truck arrives at gatehouse, there is a possibility that the same door will be assigned to the truck even before the prior truck leaves the door
This is the major fear ,Could this be acived like ..
If so please suggest how this could be done ?
Awarded suitable points
Thanks
Adarsh

Hi,
If we release the door during the Loading end status, this problem can occur. However inistead of loading end, if the door is released once the shipment status is "Shipment Start", I think it will work fine. At this point of time, anyway the truck also would have left the door and hence the door can be released to be made available for the next truck. There will not be any error in door allocation.

How To Cancel Completely Processed Shipment?

Hi.
I have created sales order ->Delivery->Picking---> Shipment.
The shipment is completely processed now (Cost Calculation is done)
But I want to cancel this shipment and delivery...how to go about this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Saket,
Activities are nothing but the steps you executed in shipment document to capture the shipment cost.
In VT02N screen select Deadl tab which you can see in the below portion of the screen.In this
screen you can see 7 pushbuttons. We Starts with MRP ( Single click)and ends with shipment End
push button to get the green light in the processing tab which will be in the upper portion of the screen.
Now you have to perform the steps exxctly in the reverse way i.e starts from shipment End ( Single
click),shipment start, shipment completion, LoadingEND, Loading start , check in and ends
with MRP ( Single click). If you perform in this way the green light you have seen in the *processing
tab* would be switched off.
I think we need to cancel the information related to daparture point and fwd agent in stages tab.
After completion of this first you save the changes,then again go back to VT02N and delete the
document.
Please correct me if missed somewhere.
Regards,
Satish

Warning message in VT01 or 02n Shipment completion

II am trying to create a warning message when Pressing the Shipment completion button in VT01 or 02n Transaction.
Standard Activity profile does not have any area to enter a custom Formula or Routine that will help the developer to enter the logic. Also I donu2019t want to use output type to trigger work flow that will call the required program - it will be too data heavy.
Case: We use a Packaging Unit that basically is used to determine the Total, tare and loaded weight (HU in Shipments). The delivery assigned to the Shipment has its item QTY which should be within the Loaded weight of the handling unit. Hence need some sort of pop up or warning message that will inform on Shipment completion u2013 any help or ideas

Best option here is to use user exit in shipment to create pop up.
Hope it helps.

Is it needed to pick goods before shipment completion?

Dear gurus, is it mandatory to pick goods,
before create shipment ?
When I click on shipment completion;
system warns as pick delivery xxxxx.
Regards,

This may due to the settings maintained in the activity profiles for shipment types at t.code 0VTL (ZERO V T L).Check the settings on the profile used.

Pack Items to HU in VT01N when 'Loading End' status is clicked

Dear experts,
My Requirement :
1. I have a shipment S1 attached to a delivery D1 which has 2 batches B1 and B2 (items). I would do a packing from VT01N manually and now a HU H1 is created which has the strucutre
H1
--> D1-B1
--> D2-B2.
2. I would be creating another shipment S2, now when the 'Loading End' status is clicked, Automatic Packing of previous step should happen in this shipment too and again this has to be packed in another container H2.
Expected Result :
H2
--> H1
> D1-B1
> D2-B2.
Problem:
Iam able to achieve H2 --> HI .... But not able to achieve H1 --> D1B1 and D2B2.
Hint : Iam not facing any problem when working in VT02N ..... All three are happening ..... Iam using the following function modules.
1. RV_SHIPMENT_VIEW
2. HU_PACKING_AND_UNPACKING
3.HU_POST.
Please let me know clues if any!
Cheers,
Kripa Rangachari.

Hi All!

Completion percentage - If my Status date Task finish date & applied completion percentage 100% = ? New finish date for the task?

Hi and sorry for the title but it well summarize my question.
In fact I applied a completion percentage of 25% on a task with a finish date inferior to the entered status date.
MS Project only modified the Act. work of the task but not its finish date.
Is it a normal behaviour?
Thanks a lot for help
Paul

Paul --
To answer your question, yes, what you are seeing is normal behavior. If you want Microsoft Project 2010 or 2013 to automatically adjust the Finish date based on the Status Date, you will need to do the following:
Click File > Options > Advanced.
In the Calculation Options section of the Advanced page, select the option named Move Start of Remaining Parts Before Status Date Forward to Status Date.
Click the OK button.
If you select this option and enter task progress as you described in your question, Microsoft Project will force a task split, moving the uncompleted part of the task to start immediately after the Status date. In the same Calculation Options section
of the Advanced page of the Project Options dialog, you might also want to select the option named And Move End of Completed Parts Forward to Status Date. With this option selected in addition to the one mentioned in step #2 above, Microsoft Project
will move the completed portion of the task to the Status Date so that you do not see a task split at all.
Whether you use one or both of these options would be entirely up to you, based on what you want to see in the software. Neither is perfect, but I think one or both of these would give you the automatic scheduling that you seek. Hope this helps.

How to set a user status (complete) when ever system status is set complete

Experts,
We have configured status profile and few user status (say open, pre-release, complete) and assigned the status profile to the item category(zxxx).
The problem we have is if we have a service order that is created with the item (item category zxxx) -- Say the header status is open and the item status is pre-release. Now end user comes and sets the header status to completed - then the item status is still set pre-release. It is not changing to complete as expected.
Yes, the Item system status is set to completed but not the user status. How do I configure to set a complete user status when the header and item system status are set to completed.
Thank you
Edited by: ram on May 4, 2010 8:51 PM

I am not sure if this can be "reverse engineered" in Status profile.
But here is some hint. You can use the BAdI CRM_ORDER_STATUS mehtod AFTER_CHANGE and actually break when the Header status is changed, and set the item status as desired.

Problem during creation of shipment document and shipment cost document

Hi
My client facing problem during creation of shipment document and shipment cost document at the time of Batch Job
Delivery no 897654: goods issue on 30.11 at 13:22. Shipment on 30.11 (VT01N).
Shipment costs on 1.12 (VI01).
the problem is the shipment document get created on 30.11.2010 but the shipment cost document get created on 1.12.2010
pleas advice.

Hi,
Please check the batch job processing log.
As per my understanding, business requires to generate the Shipment & Shipment cost documents immediatley.
However there is some time between the documents creation time. I dont see any issue in the data or problem in the delivery docs Because system will not generate the shipment docs after 1 or 2 days if there is an issue with the data . There must be problem in the Batch Job.
Analyse the batch jobs and timing of the job process.
Let us know your feedback...

Free PO with shipment costs from shipment cost document

Hello,
We have a scenario where materials is received free from vendor but shipments costs are still paid to the vendor.
For shipment costs, we are creating inbound delivery against PO, then Inbound shipment and inbound shipment cost document.
The requirement is that shipment costs should get updated in Moving avg price.
But If I am marking Purchase order as Free, shipment costs are also not getting updated during GR as system also considers shipments free of charge.
Is there a way to handle this problem.
We are creating GR through vl32n and not through MIGO.
Regards
Karan

Hi,
You can try this solution.
1.Do not tick the free indicator
2.Create a condition type for discount and put 100% discount for that condition.
3.Create a condition type for shipment as a value (delivery cost) without accruals tick in the codition type(customizing).
4.Enter the shipment cost for this condition.
5.Set the pricing procedure in such a way that the gross price of the PO will not consider this shipment cost.Hence the gross price of the PO will be zero (Free of cost) but the net price will consider the shipment cost.
This shipment cost will get loaded on to inventory.
As you have defined the shipment condition type as delivery cost condition type , you can change the vendor in details of the condtion if required.

How to use Add Shipments functionality in Shipment document creation

Dear All,
We wanted to use the Add Shipments functionality in the Shipment document creation / change.
We have two different shipment types.
I want to add shipments of one shipment type in to Shipment document of anohter shipment type.
I am not able to do it now as system is saying in the selection log that the shipment types are not same.
Please let me know what are the pre requisite configurations to enable us to add shipments in to another shipment.
Please let me tknow he standard functionality of "Add Shipments option" and how to use it to add shipments in a Shipment
Regards
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
The option "find shipments" is provided to select the shipments to reassign or deassign the deiveries etc in VT01n or VT02n
transaction planning screen. Basically you can play around to assign and reassign the deliveries to different shipments
This option is not creating the shipment within shipment. It is just selection of shipments for planning purposes
Hope this helps.

Ramana

Combining 2 Shipments into 1 Shipment

Hello,
I'm attempting to create the following functionality:
- 1 shipment with 5 deliveries (Shipment 1)
- 1 shipment with 5 deliveries (Shipment 2)
- 1 mass shipment including above 2 shipments (Shipment 3, which is Shipment 1 + Shipment 2)
Is this possible with standard configuration?
Thanks,
Andy

>is there a faster, more streamlined way of getting to this step?
Yes. Assuming that both cameras were rolling through each play (noo stops or pauses) you can use FCP's Multi-Clip feature. Details are in the Help Files or see this: http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/#chapter=42%26section=0
You can also do this manually by placing the clips from one camera on track V1 and the clips from the other camera on track V2 . Sync the clips to a common point, then scale and position the clips on V2 to make a picture-in-picture (just for ease of editing). Cut away the portions of the clips on V2 that you don't want to keep then select all remaining clips on V2, right-click on one and choose Remove Attributes / Basic Motion so all clips will go back to full scale and center.
>can I now merge adjoining clips into 1 clip (example so that SL1 and EZ1 become 1 continuos clip, then SL2 and EZ2 become a second continuous clip and so on)?
See this: http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/#chapter=29%26section=4 %26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:TempBookID-ReplacedWhenAssociatingWithMessierRevision- 44033MER-1008957
>if anyone has any insights I would really appreciate it
One thought; perhaps you wouldn't get so grouchy if someone else was doing this for you. Surely there must be a student or parent that could take over this task. ;-)

Multiple shipments into one shipment

Dear Experts,
we have the requirement to combine several shipments into one shipment.
Example:
Delivery1 is packed in the shipment1 into a paperboard.
Delivery2 is packed in the shipment2 into a box.
Now I want to create shipment3, where I can place the paperboard and box on a pallet.
So this means that I want to pack the handling units, which were created in the shipment document,
in further shipment.
Is it possible with standard modules LES and HUM?
Thanks,
memmo

Hello,
first of all thanks for your prombt answers.
I know that is possible to bundle several deliveries, which are packed in HUs (Delivery HUs) already,
to HU (Shipment HU_1) in one shipment document.
In the next step I want to create new shipment document and in that a new HU (HU_2), in which I can pack HU_1.
Regards,
memmo

Shipment completion check is erasing load start and load end dates & times

Once the load start, load end is clicked during the pack process, the system reads this just fine. Once ship complete happens, the system is erasing the load start load end.
We are capturing the difference between Load end and Load start as Packing time in a custom report. Similarly the difference between Shipment end and Shipment start as Loading time. But we post goods issue the delivery by ship complete button the dates and times are gone. Any idea of how and where I can configure this not to disappear even after the ship complete. Thank you.

Have you checked the table VTTK with different fields before completing PGI? In other words you are wiping out the loading start and loading end details some how. You should have a value in your VTTk value before PGI. Check that.
