Shipping Point Vs Loading Point

A little clarity is needed btn the two...I think shipping point could be equated to a control office where all deliveries have to go through. Loading point is a physical location that deals with specialized (eg within car spare parts divison - sensors, belts, lights...etc) handling and could be at every plant location where goods are loaded onto the shipping vessel. How accurate is my understanding of the subject?

Hi,
Shipping point : The physical location (for example, a warehouse or collection of loading ramps) from which you ship the item.
Use
You can predefine shipping/receiving points in the system, based on different combinations of
plants
shipping conditions
loading groups
During delivery processing, the shipping/receiving point is the most important criterion that you use to select deliveries.
A delivery can be shipped from one shipping point only or received at one receiving point only.
If you want to provide more detailed information about a shipping point you can specify a loading point (for example, one of a number of different loading ramps).
Example
If, for example, you want to ship refrigerated goods to a certain customer by rail, the system proposes a shipping point with a suitable location and equipment for loading refrigerated goods onto rail cars.
Procedure
The system can propose a shipping/receiving point. If valid alternatives are predefined in your system, you can change the shipping/receiving point manually.
You can define a user-specific default value for the shipping point in the user parameter VST.
Loading point The exact physical location where the loading of a delivery item takes place (for example, the number of a specific loading bay).
A loading point is a subdivision of a shipping point.
The loading point can be entered manually in the delivery header.
First enter the shipping points for which you want to define loading points.
To define the loading points for this shipping point, enter a two- character, alphanumeric key and a description. In addition, you can enter a short text for each loading point to indicate the area of responsibility.
Hope it helps. Pl reward if useful.

"shipping point" and "loading group" in SAP SD/MM

Hi experts,
Could somebody explain me the difference betwen "shipping point" and "loading group" in SAP SD/MM.
best regards,
Hermann

A delivery is always initiated from a shipping point. The shipping point can be proposed automatically during order processing depending on the plant, loading group and shipping condition.
Its plays a vary important role as without a shipping point you really cant create a delivery document
Loading groups are defined in Material master Record , which specifically means which group will load the material for the transportaion, is it done by Crane, or on pellets, etc ...
Hope this helps
Cheers

Authorisation object to the loading point

Hi, Experts,
As per the requirement we have configured the Weigh Bridges as loading points from where the TRUCK empty and Gross weights can be taken to create the delivery and these loading points were assigned to multiple shipping points. Again each Shipping point also assigned to multiple loading points.each weigh bridge i.e. the loading point is being operated by the end user.As the shipping point is assigned to multiple loading points, system is allowing the user to select any one of the loading point assigned to that shipping point.
Now, my requirement is to restrict the end user to operate one loading point only by providing authorisation object for that loading point. what is the authorisation object for the loading point.
Regards
Sam

the loading point is being operated by the end user
Through which transaction code, users are executing this loading point. I think, the authorization object for this is L_YRD_MTHD

Loading point optimization

Hi,
My client wants to schedule the loading point and loading time automatically. For example, if the loading time is 4 hours and if you create two sales orders continuously, then it should propose the loading time with the gap of 4 hours during delivery schedule in order to eliminate the unnecessary waiting time of trucks. How to achieve this. Pl share your inputs.
Regards
Sankar

Hello Sankar
You may resort to delivery scheduling- see below- and maintain loading time for the Shipping Point in hours. Let me caution you that SAP is not a scheduler/Optimizer though.

Transportation planning pt. and loading points

Hi Experts,
How many Transportation planning pt. and loading points is to be maintained?
Is it to be maintained according to plants?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
shabnum

Dear Shabnum
The transportation planning point is an organizational unit in Logistics, responsible for planning and processing transportation activities.
It organizes the responsibilities in a company, e.g. according to shipment type, mode of transport or regional departments.
Loading Point is nothing but Shipping points which are independent organizational entities within which processing and monitoring of the deliveries as well as goods issue is carried out. A delivery is processed by one shipping point only.
A shipping point can be determined for each order item. How the shipping point is determined depends on three factors:
=> The shipping conditions from the customer master record (Shipping screen)
 For example, it might have been agreed with the customer that the goods are to be delivered as soon as possible.
=> The loading group from the material master record (Sales/Plant Data screen)
 You could, for example, specify a loading group that defines that the goods must always be loaded with a crane or a forklift.
=> The delivering plant
 This plant is determined per order item either from the customer master record or from the material master record. However, you can also enter it manually for each order item.

Loading point

Hi,
Can a shipping point be assigned to many loading points?
Thank you.

Yes shipping points can be assigned with as many loading points as possible and all the loading points are specific to that shipping points. The relation is one to many. All the loading points are unique to that shipping point.

In BI 7,in loading point of view what is the difference

Hello All
In BI 7,in loading point of view
Upto the first level(upto PSA) we use infopackage and from that layer onwards we use DTP's.
My question is why do we want to use DTPs there? Why cant we use infopackage only?
What is the advantage by using this DTPs for loading the data within BI
Please let me know in this regard
Many Thanks
Swami

Hi Swami,
Although not recommended you can still use infopackages if you want in BI 7.x. The introduction of the DTP was to overcome some disadvantages of using infopackages up to and including release 3.x to load the data targets (especially with datamarts where one infopackage loads several data targets,
if something goes wrong with the load to one of these data targets then it can be very difficult to correct).
This section contains some arguments in brief why the DTP was introduced with BI 7.0 :
Transfer from one source to one target
BW 3.X
One InfoPackage / Request supplies data for several data targets
Fixed sequence of steps (DataSource / transfer rules / update rules / data target)
Fixed source type: Combination DataSource/source system
Fixed target type: Cube or ODS object or master data
No init selection for extraction from infoprovider
One request can produce several error requests, depending on the data targets
No error handling into ODS Objects
Delta management
BI 3.X: The Receiver for DataSources is merely a logical system, which makes it impossible to have a separate delta management for several data targets within
one system
BI 7.0
Data Transfer Process transports data from one data source to one data target; new source and target types can easily be defined
Arbitrary number of steps (filter objects/transformations) between two persistent objects
Init selection available
Request produces error records stored in generic error stack
Error handling into ODS Objects possible
Resume from persistent buffer
Delta management
BI 7.0: The delta management is maintained by the data transfer process which connects arbitrary sources and targets
I hope the above helps.

How to update loading point using a BAPI

Does anyone know how to update loading point in a delivery using a BAPI / function module like BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE. We could populate loading point in the structure for function module ws_delivery_update2. But it does not update the loading point.
Thanks

Paul, I don't know if the person I'm trying to advise (who uses a Mac) will be able to do as you suggest. However, I thought this would be an interesting exercise for me to try myself just to see if I can get it to work.
I tried your suggestion on all three of my devices, with no success (PAP2T, SPA2102, and SPA504G)...?
Once I have uploaded the .bin file(s) to my web site, are you saying that the only setting change I need to make is to just enter the exact path to the uploaded file in the field "Upgrade Rule" ? This doesn't seem to enable the upgrade procedure on any of my devices that I tried it on (even after a manual power off/on reset). Upgrade Enable is set to "yes" (the default).
P.S.
My original path was using https://. So, I just changed it to http:// on the spa504g, and this time the LCD display has the message: "Upgrading Firmware, Please do not turn off power...". Problem is, all my registration lights stay green, and no lights are blinking to indicate an upgrade is in progress. Then after a few minutes, or so, the LCD display returns back to normal display (Upgrade message dissappears). All is normal, but spa504g did not do a firmware upgrade....?
Actually, my spa504g already has latest firmware at 7.5.3. So, I'm trying to downgrade back to 7.5.2b, just to test out this procedure.

Hi
check the following
Check your shipping conditions in sales order header shipping tab + loading group in material master + plant in sales order,
verify the same in OVL2, whether its mainatined or not.
1. Shipping condition maintain in Sold to party of ur customer master,
2. Loading group should be maitained for perticular Sales area and plant in Material Master for Sales: General/Plant Data.
3. Plant should be available in sales order
IMG -> Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Basic shipping functions -> Shipping point and Goos receiving point determination -> Assign Shipping Points.In that determine the storage location, loading group, plant, proposed shipping point and manual shipping point.
Combination of Shipping Point Determination=
Loading Group - (1-Material Master Record)
Shipping COnditions (1- Sales doc type , 2- Customer Master Data - Sold to Party)
Delivering Plant - (1-Customer Material Info record , 2- Customer Master Record & 3-material master record)
If you have done Copy of existing Shipping Point & renamed it. Then all the shippig Point determination Combinations will be copied.
If not, then you need to maintain manually in Shipping point determination customization

How to create a "traveling route" line on a map from point A to point B!

Can someone explained or show me how I to create a clip (it will have a background map of Europe) depicting a “traveling route” line from point A to point B. The “traveling route” line I would like to display follows a Bezier curve path; it would start from point A (as a “dash”) and progressively the dash line lengthens until it reaches point B.
To expand my request further - can one add a plane or ship icon (image) as the start “header” (starting from point A), move along the Bezier curve path and spits out the trailing “dashes” to form the “traveling route” line?
I have seen this done on occasions, but I’m unable to create such clip. You help is appreciated.
I’m using Premiere 6.5 and After Effect 5.5
You can email me at [email protected]

I have two arrays of points, when i plot them there´s an intersection point, but this point doesn´t belong to any arrays. I need to find the both value of this point, X and Y. I attached my problem in a very simple example. Thanks.

Although this doesn't directly answer your question , I've attached a VI that will hopefully give you a start and point you in the right direction. It generates a Boolean array that indicates between which indecies an intersection has taken place. Then, all you need to do is use triganometry to work out exactly what the intersection point is.

What is the utility of watch point and break point in ABAP DEBUGGING !

What is the utility of watch point and break point in ABAP DEBUGGING !
PLEASE TELL ME IN DETAILS AND IF POSSIBLE WITH SCREEN SHOTS !

Hi,
Breakpoints, Watchpoints, and Checkpoints
Summary
The standard Breakpoints tool is always located on the Breakpoints desktop. With this tool, you can manage breakpoints, watchpoints and checkpoints. In addition, you can monitor the current status of the different breakpoint types.
Detailed Description
Breakpoints
In the Breakpoints area, you will see a list of all the breakpoints set so far. If one of the breakpoints has just been reached, this is marked with a yellow arrow. The visibility (Debugger, session, user) and type (line, ABAP command, ) is displayed for each breakpoint.
If you double click the Navigation() column, the system will display the breakpoint in the respective source code.
The visibility of a breakpoint can be changed through the dropdown list. To change the visibility of several breakpoints, mark them and select the pushbutton Save as Session Breakpoint or Save as User Breakpoint.
You can change the visibility of all Debugger breakpoints using the menu path Breakpoints-> Save Debugger BPs as -> ....
In addition, you have functions for creating, changing, activating and deactivating breakpoints at your disposal.
Watchpoints
In the Watchpoints area, you will see a list of all the watchpoints set so far. The watchpoint last set is highlighted with a yellow arrow.
For each watchpoint you will see not only the current value but the value before the last changed. (Technically speaking, each time you create the watchpoint and each time the watchpoint variable is changed, a clone of this variable is created.)
In this way, you can always determine what changes have been made to the monitored variable. For complicated data structures, such as internal tables or structures, select the pushbutton Compare Variables( ) and choose the Diff tool to compare the old and new variable values.
In addition, you have functions for creating, changing, activating and deactivating watchpoints at your disposal.
Checkpoints
In addition, you can edit conditional and unconditional checkpoints using the Breakpoints tool. This function is provided in the new Debugger only. Conditional checkpoints are set first in the source code using the ASSERTstatement; unconditional checkpoints are set using the BREAK-POINT statement. These have the effect that programs will be continued only if a preset condition is fulfilled. In the following window, these checkpoints can be searched for, activated, or deactivated.
