Shipping point , route and GR

Hello Gurus,
Consider the following sentence :
"Shipping point and route are determined with the GR."
My understanding is shipping point is determined by shipping condition, delivery plant, loading group.
and
route is departure zone, transportation related and shipping condition.
So, I not sure why the above statement is referring to GR. Only with the 2 information determined can the goods be received.

M Russo

Hi ,
The shipping point is determined once the item is processed in the order . First it determines delivering plant thru a search from master data . and from the delivering plant the shipping point . Same with route first from ship to party, ship conditions and after the item is processed the route.
What the sentence can imply is that once you GR is done in your respective plant you can then only decide your shipping point and then the route. My suggestion dont ponder over it.

Lead Time - Customizatiou0131n steps: Shipping point, route, and loading group

It says about delivery scheduling that "The lead time considers the shipping point, route, and loading group". Can anybody explain me briefly the customization menu steps about this sentence?
Thanks in advance.

Please go through this document it will help you
1) Maintain transportation planning point through Menu as follows:
IMG Maintain Logistic Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure  transportation planning point.
Create your own like BP01 enter the general data¡¯s required
2) Defining modes of transport:
IMG RoutesBasic Transportation Functions  Transportation Logistic Execution Define modes of transportDefine routes
Use the standard like:
Shipping type: 01
Description: Road
3) Define shipping types :
Basic Transportation Transportation Logistic ExecutionIMG Define shipping types Route Functions
Or through T-code: SM30
PT: 01
Description: Truck
Mdtr: 01
STPG: 0001
4) Define transportation connecting point :
LogisticIMG DefineRoutes  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation Execution Define transportation connection pointsroutes
Copy the std point and make it FB01 as departure zone and FB02 as destination zone
5) Define routes and stages.
 Logistic Execution IMG Define Define routes Routes  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation routes and stages
Use the standard route and copy it as FB0001 and enter the departure zone and destination as what we created.
6) Defining Transportation Zone:
Basic Transportation Logistic Execution IMG Define transportation Router determination  Route Transportation Functions zones
Use the standard transportation zone depending on the route so as for the example use 0000000003 - Southern Region
7) Maintain country or transportation zone for shipping points
 Logistic Execution IMG  Route determination  Route  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation Maintain country and transportation zone for shipping point
Shipping point be ASH1 and route as 0000000003 which is assigned to country India
8) Maintain route determination:
Logistic ExecutionIMG Route determination Route  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation  Maintain route determination
Country of departure: India
Departure Zone: 0000000003
Country of destination: India
Destination Zone: 0000000003
And enter the datas needed like shipping condition 01, etc.
Maintain Transportation relevance for shipping point, sales document type and delivery types.
9) Now create shipping types
IMG Define shipment Shipments  Transportation Logistic Execution types
Copy the standard 0001 and make it to AFIL
10) Define and assign traffic zones through T-Code: T_76 (or) thru menu as follows
IMG Define Basic functions  Shipments cost  Transportation Logistic Execution and assign tariff zones
Copy the standard and make it to FABTARIFF and assign our transportation planning point as ATP1, ATP2 assign tariff zone to every particular transportation planning point
11) Define and assign pricing procedures
Shipments Transportation  Logistic Execution IMG define and assign pricing Price control  Pricing cost procedures
Copy the standard shipping cost pricing procedure SDFC00 to FBSC01
12) Assign purchasing data:
 Logistic Execution IMG Assign purchasing data Settlement  Shipments cost Transportation
13) Assign transportation planning point to shipping condition, purchase organization, purchasing group and to plants.
14) Define Automatic G/L account determination:
 Transportation  Logistics Execution IMG Automatic G/L Account Determination Settlement Shipment Costs
Or through T-code: OMWB
Use G/L account 614000 as used in standard
15) Automatic determination of CO assignments:
IMG Automatic Settlement  Shipment Costs  Transportation Logistics Execution Determination of CO Assignments
Or T-code: OKB9
16) Maintain shipping point address.
 Logistics Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure Define, copy, delete, check shipping point
17) Creating G/L account centrally.
Financial AccountingAccounting  Master Records  General Ledger 
Individual Processing Centrally
Or through T-Code: FS00
18) Enter the G/L account 614000 to the company code AFIL
19) Create transportation condition records:
 Shipment cost  Transportation  Master data Logistic Execution createPrices
Or thru T-code: TK11
Enter condition type FB00 that is freight condition type, which is used as standard in the shipping cost pricing procedure.
Enter the price and save it
Process:
1. The system determines the pricing procedure for the shipment cost item-using transportation planning point, service agent and shipment cost item category
2. Calculation Basis
3. Condition Record
4. Access sequence.
For the sales order, create a delivery using VL01N and pick the goods. Now create a shipment using VT01N and assign the delivery to the shipment document. Make sure to enter the carrier and other details before performing the transportation planning and execution. Save the shipment document and PGI for the delivery would be done automatically.
A shipment represents a physical goods movement between two or more locations.
For the system to create a shipment, shipping-relevant deliveries must exist.
You use Transportation Planning to group pending deliveries into shipments and then to perform the shipments.
The outbound delivery documents contain routes that the system calculates in route determination, and a transportation planning date for the delivery.
Dynamic transportation planning is responsible for grouping together outbound deliveries into shipments that have at least the same route, visit plan type and the same transportation planning date.
The following restrictions can be taken into account for a shipment in Dynamic Transportation Planning:
Weight
Volume
Variable capacity
Number of stops
Maximum duration
Loading units
Create Shipment Document
Use
After the status of the delivery is open for transportation planning, it is possible to create a shipment document to schedule the transportation.

2) VT01
3) VL02N - PGI
4) VI01
5) ML81N Service Entry Sheet
6) MIRO Invoice Verification
Shipping docs (VT01) are created before PGI...
You cannot carry out transportation planning or creation of shipment after the goods issue has been executed. Once goods issue is done it means that the material has left your premises so there is no need for a transportation planning after it.
In case you need carry out the shipment documents at the end of the day you could just create the delivery documents during the day and at end of the day create the shipment documents and the goods issue

Shipping Point, Route

Hi,
In VA21 Transaction for Type = QT, I am able to see the values for Shipping point and Route for a particular Sales organization and not able to see the values for another Sales organization.
Any ideas?

HI DN N,
Shipping Point & Route are automatic determinations and get determined at the Item level of a Sales document. They get determined as eblow:
1. Shipping Point -
Shipping Conditions (Sales DOc type Config / Cutsomer master)
Loadging Group ( Material Master - Sales Gen/Plant data)
Deliveruing plant
2. Route :
Departure Zone of Shipping Point
Shipping Conditions (Sales DOc type Config / Cutsomer master)
Transportation Group - ( Material Master - Sales Gen/Plant data)
Transportation zone of Ship-to-party
SO check whether the assignments are made properly in IMG and other realted places like CMIR / CM / MM

Shipping point and plant

Hi experts,
In VL01N, the system pops up the message below when entering storage location, picked qty & batch. Pls help to solve. Thx.
"Shipping from shipping point 2000 and plant 1001 is not possible. Message no. VL027".
Acutally, shipping point 2000 has been assigned to plant 1001 in OVXC. In shipping point determination, shipping condition 20 - loading group 1000 - plant 1001 - proposed shipping point 2000 has been maintained. Shipping condition & shipping point between the sales order & delivery match.

Hi Cathy
Please make sure that your plant 1001 and shipping point 2000 is assigned properly
Then your OVL2 shipping point determination settings
As you are getting this error while entering the storage location
That means your OVL3 is not maintained properly
OVL3 is storage location determination settings
It is determined thro
1.Shipping point
2.Delivering plant
3.Storage conditions from MMR (optional)
In t code OVL3 maintain for Shipping point 2001 and Delivering plant 1000 and storage conditions of material maintained in MMR (plant data/storage location data 1 ) or you can keep this as blank also
For this combination maintain your storage location the key which you are manually entering in VL01N

How to find the shipping point creation Date and time

Hi All,
Could you please help to solve this issue.
Some of the users created shipping point, Now I have to find out in which date and time the shipping points were created, is there any table to find. please help me.
Regards,
Muralikrishna

hi Murali,
first define and assign shipping point in enterprise sructure in define shipping point EC07 and assign in OVXC
goto OVL2 and assign the shipping points
The following are used for the shipping point determination:
1. Shipping conditions - Proposed from CMR. The entry in VOV8 for the sales document type if there overwrites the entry in the shipping conditions mainatined in the CMR.
2. Loading group - Proposed from the material master record.
3. Plant - proposed from CMIR - if not found then CMR - if not found then MMR.
But you should first define and assign the shipping point in the "enterprise structure" otherwise you will not be able to do the shipping point determination.
IMG - logistics execution - shipping - basic shipping functions - shipping point & goods receiving point determination - assign shipping points.
Shipping point definition:
IMG - enterprise structure - definition - logistics execution - define, copy, delete, check shipping point. You have to define the shipping point here for the particular plant.
Shipping point assignment:
IMG - enterprise structure - assignment - logistics execution - assign shipping point to plant. Here select your plant and assign the shipping point to the same.
hope this helps,
cheers,
Hema.

Scenario required for sd route and mm route

Dear Guru
There is two process for stock transfer order one is SD route and 2nd one is mm route
can you please explain the differnce between these rout
and what is the scenario required for sd route and mm route
it means in which scenario we use sd route for stock transfer and in which scenario we use mm route for stock transfer
Thanks in advance
Kashyap

Kashyup,
I am not aware of 'SD Route vs MM Route'. They are the same Route.
STO is basically a special kind of Purchase order. Purchase orders are part of the MM module. In order to permit shipping goods from one plant to another, SAP has 'borrowed' some of the functionality from the SD module.
During Configuration of Stock Transport orders, you assign a Customer (Shipto), Sales org, and Distribution channel to the receiving plant. When creating a STO, the system uses these data to determine the Route.
Route contains info that the system uses to plan movement of goods from one location to another location in the SD module. The route contains duration information (how long does it take to move goods from warehouse to customer location), factory calendar, and perhaps some other data. In the case of an SD order, the system will find the customer for the Sales doc, the default shipping conditions for the customer, and using this information together with the region of the shipping point, will determine a route.
This same determination procedure is also used during creation of a STO. The system will take the STO customer from STO configuration, and the default shipping conditions for that customer, and using this information together with the region of the shipping point, will determine a Route. The same determination procedure used by SD sales orders.
When you are setting up your master data, and you have decided what the duration of transport time should be, it is important that your planned delivery time in your info records or in your material master be consistent with your shipping duration (pick/pack/route time). This makes the execution (creation and shipment of STOs) stay consistent with planning (creation of STO purchase reqs) as far as timing is concerned.
If your STOs use Deliveries, then the shipping information in the STO that was determined during creation (customer, shipping point, route, etc) will be copied to the delivery during delivery creation.

Output type for Delivery note missing for shipping point

Hi all,
   I have a plant setup to email delivery note which uses shipping point SGUS. Condition record is setup for this shipping point using Del Typ/Shipping Point /Plant. This uses the communication stragery ZINT.
The email works well for this shipping point. However, when delivery cannot be email using shipping point CHAL. I guess this plant has 2 shipping points (sgus and chal).
When delivery is created, output type for email is missing.   I already created condition rec
for LF/CHAL/plant 121. Still not working.
Can anyone pls provide any suggestions ASAP ?
Thanks

Hi MdZ,
   I looked at the analysis output. ZD04 output is what i am after. Don't understand the followings:
Q1 - why the ordering in anaylsis is different than in output determination procedure. For example:
In Analysis Output: i have:
LDOO    - Output not found
MAIL     - manual output
PLOO    - Output not found
Z940    - Output found
ZBOL   - Output not found
ZD04   - OUTPUT NOT FOUND
The Output Determination Procedure as:
Step Counter   CType
10       1           LD00
12       1           ZLFX
13       0           LALE
14       1           ZBOL
20        2          MAIL
75       1           ZD04
90       1           PL00
110      1          Z940
Step 10 should be read , then step 12, and so on. Why is the ordering in procedure different than in
output analysis ?
Q2. Why did it display ZD04 not found when ZD04 appear on the delivery output as green light ? When i drill down, it show 2 access sequence. Access 10 stated Output found. Access 20 stated Output not found.
Thank you.
Joyce

GTM - wrong shipping point determination

Hi ,
Currently we are implementing SAP - GTM (Global Trade Managment functionality ) for our client and I am reletively new to this functionality. While creating one transaction cyles in the SAP system I am facing following problem :
Issue .While creating delivery document against sales contract/sales order through TEW (Traing Execution Workbench),system opens the VL01N screen and instead copying shipping point & delivery date from sales order as it is,it proposes some default shipping point 0001 and wrong delivery date.Due to this system gives error and does not execute the VL01n transaction till the correct shipping point and delivery date is enetered.I checked default value in the user->own data also ,but no value is stored against the parameter id's of these two fields.
Looking forward for valuabel inputs on the above issue.
regards,
Sachin

Hi,
OSS note 1872977 changes the TEW, so that the shipping point is taken from the sales order, like normal SD.

Edit Shipping Point in ME2O

Hello All,
When we use ME2O to create deliveries to subcontractors, only the default shipping point can be used.
We have Plants which have multiple ship points for the materials . I would like to know if there is any way to edit the shipping point field and let the user enter it manually ? OR be able to choose a ship point from the drop down?
Please advise..

Any one has the same experience ? Please advise.
thanks

Shipping point determination & selection

Hello!
Through an enhancement, we have increased the manual shipping points possible from a plant to 100 and have about 50-60 defined for the plant with the correct shipping point assignment and determination. However, in the selection screen in the order at the line item level>shipping, the drop down gives a selection possible only of 12 (first 12 shipping points) - all the rest don't show up at all. However, manually, the system accepts them from the list which is configured.
I have tried changing the restriction from 500 entries to blanking it out but the remaining shipping points still don't show up. Is there any configuration around this to allow only a certain number to show up at the line item level? Any clues where this setting may lie?
Many thanks.

>I have tried changing the restriction from 500 entries to blanking it out but the remaining shipping points still don't show up
Not a solution, just an explanation of what you are seing:
You removed the default limit for searching records using a look-up or search help. Unfortunately, as you have discovered, this did not work in your case. That is becausde the SAP settings (without your user exit) has a limit of 12 Shipping Points for every Plant/Loading group combination. You are seeing all the values in the Shipping Point Determination table in the drop down, but the user exits permits you to enter other shipping points.

Express shipping point

Hello Gurus,
there is paragraph about shipping point:
"As each delivery is created via a shipping point, and each run of the
delivery due list is made with reference to a particular shipping point, you
may want to have an express shipping point. This way, you can run the due
list every half an hour for one shipping point only to create deliveries for
that particular plant. Likewise in the sales order, the user knows that if he
manually enters a specific express shipping point, he will have the delivery
created within half an hour. The remainder of the deliveries may be created
via the delivery due list in the normal processing run."
I want to know what is the express shipping point ? and how to make delivery run every half an hour for this express shipping point? thanks very much!

Hi
It is like a normal shipping point in all aspects but only dedicated for cash sales/rush orders. Since these orders determine this special Shipping point, periodically deliveries can be created, without making any delay in deliveries.
Thanks,
Ravi

Shipping point storage loc determination

If same material master record is sold as finished good and sample material and if there are 2 shipping points and 2 storage locations for this material, (Sample storage loc and shipping point and finished good storage loc and shipping point. ) and we are creating different types of sales orders with different type of item categories. What would be the solution to detemrine the correct shipping point and storage location for this material ?

If you have separate Plant also then as per the Plant ,maintain Loading Group in Material Master in Sales : General / Plant.Now in OVL2 ,assign the combination of Shipping Conditions , Plant & Loading Group with Shipping point for both Finished & Sample Material.
In such case , while creating the Sales Order , system will pick the Shipping Point as per the combination maintained by you.

Ankur

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 vs shipping point calendar

Hi,
Can some explain what happens when you don't specify a calendar in a route. How is the overall time for for delivery calculated if it is route dependent?
What happens if you have a shipping point calendar but the pick/pack time and load time are route dependent?
what takes precedence over the other?

Thanks for the answer. Actually I was unable to find out that in the shipping point detail, there is no calendar assignment.
Can u please elaborate on the second part of the answer.
Thanks in advance.

Sachin
