The necessary shipping materials and the means of transport

The answer of the question below is "d. Shipping point". On the other hand, shipping type (shipment type determines how the goods will be transported - tuck, train, ship etc....) is entered in the "shipment type" at the customization.
Taking into consideration this fact, why is the answer of this question is given as "shipping point"?
What part of the company is responsible for the type of shipping, the necessary shipping materials and the means of transport?
Only one answer is correct.
a. Sales Organization
b. Transportation planning point
c. Shipping condition
d. Shipping point
e. Warehouse

hi
As per my knowledge, normally goods are transported from Plant through shipping point, So ultimately shipping point is the responsible for that.

Planned Delivery Time and Transportation duration- Tlane and Means of Transportation

Dear Experts ,
I have question regarding lead time calculation my SNP
I have
Start Location : A
Destination location: B
I maintained Planned delivery time in ECC- material master as 10 days and cifed to Tlane Product procurement as 10 days
and leave empty in the transportation duration empty so the total lead time is 10 days from start location A to destination location B
now
I maintain 24 hours in Means of transport as transportation duration by truck
now the lead time is 11 days from start location A to destination location B
Now
i leave empty planned delivery time empty and maintain Means of transport duration as 48 hours
so the lead time is 2 days from A to B
does my understanding is correct or not advise please
Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
Take a look of these notes. Specially SAP note 379006. This note explains how the system sets the times in ECC and APO. Basically, It recommends a BAdI in order to match the delivery date in ECC and APO (transit time). What I recommend is to set delivery time equal to 0 if this is possible in your company.. This is not an SAP recommendation, because the delivery date is a key master data in the purchasing process and making it equal to 0 could not be allowed.. Now, if its possible in your case, it is the easiest way to ensure consistency...
These are the notes:
379006
- Transport duration and planned delivery time in APO and R/3
441622
- Supplying-plant-dependent planned del. time/trans. time
624982
- Incorrect dates for RBA controlled stock transfer
Kind Regards,

Basis of picking means of transport in APO

Please help me in understanding basis of picking means of transport in APO and what is the link between R/3 means of transport and APO means of transport.
Manish

In R/3 the means of transport is recorded in Shipment document. It contains all the information necessary for carrying out transportation. The means of transport necessary for a shipment is reflected in the system as a handling unit. These handling units contain information about tare weight and -volume of the means of transport as well as the weight of the packed handling unit. Information about the country providing the means of transport, details about the driver and travel time are also included in these handling units. Handling units that have already been created for delivery items are copied into the shipment document where they can be packed further, if necessary. Delivery items that have only been partially packed or not packed at all can be packed in the shipment documents.
In APO the means of transport is planned in TPVS. If the client do not have TPVS implemented, the means of transport are taken based on the locations, products and cost as well.
The difference between the R/3 and APO means of transport I see is that in APO there is product specific means of transport wherein we can assign the means of transport for specific products based on its demand or perishability. For example, if we have a Tlane between US and Ind, the possible means of transport could be by AIR or by Water. For a product which is a primary and active product for a company, the means of transport can be assigned as Air rather by water.

Stock tranport order APO - R/3: means of transport

Situation: we are publishing stock transport orders from SNP to R/3. It can happen that we are publishing orders of different means of transportation between same locations (several means of transportation maintained on the lane). Do anyone have any idea how to transfer information of the means of transport within certain order to R/3 ?
Dmitry

Sorry, I haven't been able to find a way...
R/3 really doesn't care...
I definitely think its a short fall of the integration between SNP and R/3.
Like you said, if SNP selects air ship vs ground, how does R/3 know? How will planners know in R/3 to air ship the product?
He wouldn't...
TPVS may remedy this problem. As there is more integration points...

Safety days supply not followed due to change in Means of Transport in SNP

Hello All,
I am facing a strange issue regarding the SNP heuristics and means of transport. We observed that the system was not respecting the safety days supply. For example if we had a receipt in bucket 'N' and there is a violation of safety days supply in bucket 'N-1'. When we un a heuristic ideally system should delete the receipt in bucket 'N' and create a new one in bucket 'N-1'.
But we observed that the system is retaining the existing receipt in bucket 'N' and also creating a new one in bucket 'N-1'. This is making the available days supply to increase manyfolds and the whole plan looks inconsistent from Safety Days point of view.
After analyzing the issue i observed that if we have existing receipts using a Means of Transport 'X'. Now if we run the heuristic using a Means of Transport 'Y' then the system doesnt touch the existing receipts. If I run teh heuristics using the existing Mean of Transport then it works absolutely fine.
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Abhi

Hi,
when you check all products flag it means the means of transport is available for all products and not product specific, to select the MOT for SNP you need to check the aggrgtd plng flag.
Also safety stock has nothing to do with MOT, SNP heuristic plans based on checks the quota arrangement if its for multiple MOT it will distribute the PR based on the ratio in quota if both MOT are able to meet demand on time, otherwise it will violate quota till the time both MOT are not capable of meeting the demand on time.
If no quota is defined it will check for which lane is able to meet on time n if their are multiple lanes which can fulfill demand on time then it will choose MOT with less cost.
Have you got multiple MOT for a source destination combination to be considered for SNP heuristic?
Just check your design again and explain the problem again as this is not the standard expected behavior.
Thanks,
Sanjog

Extending Validity of Means of Transport in TL

Dear All,
Couple of questions:
1) Is it possible to extend the validity of a Means of Transport in a Transportation Lane by increasing the
End Date?
2) Is it possible to increase the end date for SKU maintained on this lane?
If yes? how?
Many Thanks and Regards
Amod

Hi Vaibhav,
Thanks for your inputs.
I knew the entries could not be edited. I had tried it earlier before posting this message. Neither the means of transport nor the SKU end date is editable.
As you have mentioned, I had already tried deleting the entire entry in means of transport and SKU list. Before trying to delete the entries I had deleted all transaction data on this particular TL for all SKUs existing on this lane. But the meassge I get every time is "There are orders existing on that particular means of transport or for that particular SKU".
Futher investigation reveals that both the means of Transport and the SKU still have orders existing in test version which I have copied.
I know I can create a new means of transport with validity start date matching with the end date of the earlier means of transport. The same thing can be done for SKU's on this TL as well.
My question to you and other experts on this forum "Is there still some way in which I can increase the validity and avoid creating multiple entry for same means of transport and same SKU on a particular TL?"
Thanks for your help
Regards
Amod

Setup time in means of transport ignored by TP/VS Optimizer

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement of having a break for vehicle resource after each trip to carry out certain routine activities. I have modeled setup time of 2:00 Hrs in means of transport for this. However when I run the TP/VS optimizer, it plans two consecutive shipments without considering any setup time.
Any idea on how to achive this requirement?
Regards
Sandeep Patil

Hi Sandeep.
In the transaportation lane, in the means of transport settings, there is one field u201CAddnl Retentn Per.u201D
Additional Stop Duration for a Transportation Lane (hhh:mm)
Did you think to use this ?
Additional Stop Duration for a Transportation Lane (hhh:mm)
The stop duration indicates the time that a means of transport is not in motion between two locations. It thus represents an addition to the duration of actual transportation. The duration of transportation represents the pure travelling time (working time, net transportation time), whereas the stop duration is defined as a gross time (that is, it relates to both the working time and the non-working time of the means of transport).

Update Means-Of-Transport Type in a sales order

I want to Update Means-Of-Transport Type in a sales order. You can find this field (VBKD-TRATY) in Sales Order->Header->Shipping.
I couldnt find this field in BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE.
Is there any function module which wud update it?

Means of transport will be decided at the time of shipping in delivery .
So LIKP-Traty will be the means of transport .
i dont think there is a Fm to handle this .
Let us check if someone has a solution.

Optimiser with means of transport

Hi Experts,
Pls spend some time to understand the below requirement and the design.
Requirement- there are two plants, P1 and P2. Material M moves from P1 to P2 using a train R. The train can move 2100 tonnes in one trip.It takes 2 hrs to go from P1 to P2, hence it can make only 6 round trips between P1 and P2(i.e. 12 single trips) in a day. Hence APO should create only 6 orders in a particular day with max of 2100 tonnes as quantity for each order.
Master data-
Plants- P1, P2
Material-M
Resource(train)- R(bucket resource)
Tlane- P1-->P2
There is one SNP planning book and there are two data views- daily and monthly
System design
Max lot size for M at P2 is maintained as 2100
Max bucket capacity for the resource= 6*2100= 12,600
Means of transport for T Lane P1-->P2 is maintained as 'All products'. Transportation duration is set as 2 hrs
Product specific means of transport is maintained for M, with consumption as 12 Tonnes
Results-
There is a requirement of M at P2 for 12,800 Tonnes. Stock of M at P1 is 12,800 Tonnes
When I run optimiser on monthly view- it creates 6 orders with 2100 qty and one order with 200 qty, but all on one day-violating the rule of 6 orders only in one day
when I run optimiser on daily view- it creates 6 orders with 2100 qty in one day and one order of 200 qty on the next day
Query-
1.Why do we need prod spec means of transport when the means of transport is defined as 'All products'
2. What is the use of maintaining consumption as 12 Tonnes
3. If I just go by transportation duration of 2 hrs, so the train makes 24/2=12 single trips, or 6 round trips. Hence 6 orders should get created with 2100 tonnes each in a day. But this does not happen and no planning happens in this case
4.Why do I get different planning results when I use daily and monthly bucket views
Would be very helpful to analyse the design and the concepts if someone can give some pointer
Regards
Manotosh

Hi Kaushik,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply and help. However I still have some query.
1.As per my understanding we do not actually need prod spec MOT when all prod incator is there.I think some older versions of optimizer do not consider all prod tlane (I am not too sure abt it).But if all the prods for a specific plant can not be transferred through same MOT then it is required.Also if the res comsumption and the cost is different then also it is required.
             - Your justification to have a separate MOT is absolutely valid as long as we need different MOT for any reason(cost, duration etc). But here there is only one product M being transferred between P1 and P2.
2. Resource capacity will define the capacity in terms of total transportation capacity and consumption is required to do the planning.Like if the consumption is not maintained the capacity becomes as infinite.So there will be more than 12600 tons transported.
           - We define the resource max capacity and the utilisation. If the utilisation is more than 100%, I understand that it will try to supply more than 12,600 tonnes. But here the utilisation is maintained as 100%. What will happen if I maintain consumption as 10 Tonnes or 10 BBL or anything other than 12 T as currently maintained?
3.There is a difference between scheduling and capacity.When you say 2 hrs but parallaly another tran can also go and transportation can happen.But when you define resource and capacity then you restrict the same.This is constrain plng but that duration of 2 hrd will not put any contraints.
       - The transportation resource is assigned to the T Lane. Hence whenever the T Lane is used, only the same resource is used for transportation. Hence we can not have more than one resource(R) acting simultaneously.
4.If you see the results are same only difference is the period.Check the resource capacity view.I think you can see the capacity planned correctly and also the monthly view check the strt and end date.
       - As per the concept, SNP does bucket planning. Hence it will consolidate all the demands in a bucket and would create orders for the qty equal to the demand qty either at the begining of the bucket or middle of the bucket or end of the bucket. It will split the orders based on lot size or any other parameters defined. Hence I am getting multiple orders with 2100 qty(Max lot size) on 1st of the month. But the resource capacity is overshot in this case.

Changing of Means of Transport for deployment order

Hi All,
Is it possible to manually/ programatically change the means of transport of a deployment order ? for example once deployment has run, it has created a deployment order with means of transport, lets say, 0001 ( Truck). Now i want to change the means of Transport to 0003 ( Air). Is it possible using some BADI etc ?
Pls note that i know that by assigning product speciic means of product of 0003, it is possible to directly create deployment order for 003 means of transport. Due to some requirement, we want to change it manually.
Regards,
Pawan.

Hi Senthil,
I tried that option already. Infact there is no need to delete existing deployment order, you can simply run deployment with replan all option. This will create deployment orders on the new means of transport. What i wanted is, without running deployment, is there some option possible wherein i can change the means of transport of an existing order, which is already created on another means of transport ?
regards,
Pawan.

Can anyone clarify the meaning of Cruise Ship data?

Can anyone clarify the meaning of Cruise Ship data? I recently asked for it on my account, but when I returned from my cruise I was charged all sorts of Global Roaming data charges. No Cruise Ship usage was listed on my bill even though I only used it while at sea (tethering my PC).
The rep I spoke with said that the billing codes used for Cruise Ship Data and Global Data are the same, and Global Data was how it was listed on my bill. What would the distinction be, then? I assumed that Cruise Ship data would use the cruise ship's towers, but it appears that you have to worry about what country you are sailing near while at sea and whether they subscribe. Anyone have any light to shed on this?
Thanks!
P.S. The service is even slower than what the cruise ship offers for $.55/minute, and the connection is not reliable. I will not be using this feature again, and cannot in good conscience recommend it.

Thanks so much for asking, Rayray_10803. I would be happy to clarify roaming charges.
Wireless Cruise Ship Service allows Verizon Wireless customers to make and receive voice calls while at sea using their own mobile phone and mobile telephone number.
This service exists on various cruise lines, through an agreement with Wireless Maritime Services (WMS), Maritime Communications Partners (MCP) and Sea Mobile to offer an advanced network on board various cruise ships for Verizon Wireless.
For this reason, rates on cruise ships are different than they are when you visit the country without using the towers on the ship.

So I have an iPad with the smart cover, and it's usually supposed to turn on and off the iPad when u open it and close it, but it's not turning on for me. Nor is it turning off without pressing the button. What is the meaning of this?what caused it to be this way? Is there someway that I could fix it?

Wait a sec did this just start?
You set up the smart cover function in settings (you did that, right?) so, if you did that and it's failed you make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar now.

Here's a quick example I threw together that generates a sort-of-bell-curve shaped data distribution, then performs the binning and plotting.

If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select?
