Transportation chain - preliminary - main leg
Hi,
Let's imagine we are in a transportation scenarion where i have a certain number of deliveries to the same customer.
Deliveries are assigned to a shipment main leg.
Deliveries are packed in large box and some documents are printed (invoice, packing list,..) and those data are captured on a external system and we create one shipment preliminary leg per large box via Idoc.
Exemple:
We have deliveries 1, 2,3, 4
Main shipment 1 contains delivery 1 , 2 , 3.
Main shipment 2 contains delivery 4.
Preliminary shipment 1 contains delivery 1, 2.
Preliminary shipment 2 contains delivery 3,4.
In this situation, the preliminary shipment 2 contains deliveries that are assign to 2 different main shipment. It a situation that we try to avoid.
How can i warn the user about this situation where the delivery 3 and 4 are not in the same main shipment ?
Is there a way to block this king of situation.
Thank for your help.
Daniel.
No one has an idea or my explanation is not clera enough?
Thank in advance for your help.
Daniel.

Do we need to create individual shipment document for Transportation Chain
Do we need to create individual shipment document in Transportation Chain if the forwarding agent is same for all shipment?
For Example :
first it takes truck,
then ship,
then again truck to reach Customer.
in all above case forwading agent is same eg: DHL ServiceHi Doak,
Yes you need to create individual shipment document in Transportation chain.
For Example : when the trucks go from their respective shipping points to the harbor, the freight documents should not also contain main leg and subsequent leg information. When you create texts, you would not know if they are supposed to be valid for the preliminary, main or subsequent legs.
In order to avoid such limitations, we would recommend that you denote a transportation chain using multiple shipment documents. You can create these shipment documents almost automatically by using collective processing.
If you want depict a transportation chain within a shipment document, you must also accept the limited functions available to you.
The reason: Almost all shipment document functions refer to the document as a whole:
1.Outputs can only be printed for the entire document, not for individual legs
2.Handling units can only be created for the entire document, not for individual legs
3. The same is valid for texts, deadlines in general, etc.
Hope this provides you some clarity. Reward points if helpful.

Examples of transportation chain
Hi Friends
A transportation chain supports the shipment of inbound or outbound deliveries for which several modes of transport are to be used.
Please give examples of transportation chain.
Thank youI need one help as i am new to the Transportation. The query is if i want to send goods from India to US and there would be 3 legs involved.
1st leg -> Preliminary leg would be - By Road to Port A
2nd leg -> Main Leg would be - By Sea to Port B
3rd leg -> Subsequent leg would be again From Port B to Customer.
We have 1 Forwarding Agent who will take care for 1st leg and 2nd leg, but for 3rd leg Forwarding agent will be different.
I would like to know how many Shipping document will be created - One or Three. I am confused as when we maintain Route and define Stages, we mention all the legs under the Routes and Stages. and when the routes is copied from Delivery to Shipment document, all the stages are also copied in the Shipment document. So i understand there would be only one Shipping document created.
Do anyone have uploaded one sample examples with end to end scenario of transportation chain for better and clear understanding. -

Transportation chain / multimode transport
Dear All,
1) I got lots of documents for Transportation chain / multimode transport but not able to configure it. Could you please share me the steps involves and brief about configuring Multimode transport such as how many shipment document types / shipment cost document types needs to define etc.
2) In Shipment cost and Item category definition we assign the cost type such as Shipment header, shipment leg etc. Why do we assign this? What will be effect if I maitain each and every option
3) In the configuration Define Shipment cost relevancy to shipment type, we can select the check box Header, Leg, Loading point etc. why we use this setting? What will be the effects
Please let me know on above points
Thanks & Regards
Rahul Mirashi1) One Shipment Document Type and One Shipment Cost type is enough
2) In IMG path Define Transportation Connection Points, you have to define whether a shipment is related to Load Transfer, Border crossing etc., This Transportation Connection Point should be assigned in the next IMG Define Routes and Stages. Based on this, when you create a shipment document via VT01N, multiple line items would flow under the tab "Stages". Ideally, this would be applicable in case of exports shipment where you would have stages like Plant to Port, Port to importing country's port, customer destination and for each of these, you have to key in different vendor codes.
3) Based on the tick only, when you create shipment cost, the respective amount will be calculated. For example, if you not checked any of the boxes here and while you create shipment cost in VI01, once you tick the box Transfer, system will throw an error.
On your query,
What will be effect if I maitain each and every option
I request you to make a test on your own and update your findings.
thanks

Transportation Chain Shipment Planning
Hello Experts.
I am currently working on our SAP implementation (Wave 2) project team representing the logistics department. We are currently processing collective shipments successfully. I am trying to determine how to incorporate pool shipment planning for a shipping point that will be added in wave 2. I have reviewed the SAP help documentation for transportation chain shipment planning and have not found a solution. Please review my shipment scenario and advise how to correctly plan the shipments to allow for 1 manifest tender and cost document from the shipping point with 1st service agent with truckload mode and separate individual tenders and cost documents with alternate service agent(s) and LTL mode.
Shipping Point (20 deliveries), truckload, Service Agent A (cost document & 1 manifest tender) ---> Chicago, IL -
>
Chicago -
> 1 delivery, LTL mode Service Agent B -> Champaign, IL (1 cost document, 1 tender)
Chicago -
> 2 deliveries, LTL mode Service Agent B -> Matoon, IL (1 cost document, 2 tenders)
Chicago -
> 5 deliveries, LTL mode Service Agent C -> Jacksonville, IL (3 cost documents, 3 tenders)
Chicago -
> 4 deliveries, LTL mode Service Agent C -> Decatur, IL (2 cost documents, 2 tenders)
Chicago -
>5 deliveries, LTL mode Service Agent C -> Quincy, IL (5 cost documents, 5 tenders)
Chicago -
> 3 deliveries, LTL mode Service Agent C -> Summit Argo, IL (3 cost documents, 3 tenders)
I am also interested in how collective processing can be used to create these type of shipments.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!!Transportation planning point : ATP1
Item determination procedure group : 0001
Service agent group :
Shipping type group :
As per the above system message, you should leave blank second and third tabs of your screen shot. Remove those (0001) values and retry.

*TRANSPORTING CHAIN AND INFOPACKAGE*
Dear experts,
I've transported, from development to test, a chain and an InfoPackage which is included in this chain.
The problem is the InfoPackage doesn't appear into the chain transported, although it was already into the modeling, because this InfoPackage had been previously transported with other order. Besides, the transport's method execution ended with warning (4).
The warning is the follow:
Post-import methods for change/transport request: 902761
Follow-up action RS_AFTER_IMPORT for ISIP L started at 20090306143729
Start of the after-import method for object type R3TR ISIP (Mode d'activació)
InfoPackage ZPAK_01GSDO6PG4H6P29K8KDWORJG6, source system integra changed by source system gaudi_pre in import
Start of the after-import method for object type R3TR RSPC (Mode d'activació)
Version 'M' of chain ZG_CAD_ATR_11_TEMP was saved without checking
Chain ZG_CAD_ATR_11_TEMP Was Activated And Scheduled

End of subsequent processing... 20090306143753
I don't know hot to discover the problem. Please could anyone give a hand.
Than you very much in advance
JorgeHi,
When u transport a chain it always appear at the target system deactivated, just create an order, modify the chain, activate, it will ask for an order, select the order previously created and now see if the infopackage appears.
If the chain was already at the target system and you don't active it, you will see the chain in the last active valid option.
You can delete the order of the target system if the chain appears ok.
Hope it helps.
Maybe you speak this language too:
Bones,
Quan transportes una cadena sempre apareix al sistema destí com a desactivada, per arreglar-ho crea una ordre al sistema destí, modificar la cadena, activala, et demanarà una ordre, hi poses la ordre creada anteriorment. I comprovar si la cadena apareix amb el paquet correcte.
Si la cadena esta en el sistema destí i no la actives al transportarla de nou, el que es veu es la ultima versió activa, o sigui com estava originalment.
Un cop fet, pots borrar la ordre del sistema destí.
Espero que t'ajudi. -
Leg indicators in Transportation
Can anyone clearly explain about all leg indicators in Transportation?
there are 4 leg indicators in transpt'n
Preliminary leg,Main leg,subsequent leg,return leg and direct leg.
We have 3 types of shipments
individual shipment, collective shipments and transportation chain.
Individual shipment is where one mode of transport is used from source to destination means it would be a direct leg.
collective shipments also use a group of shipments use one mode of transport which would be direct leg.
Transportation chain is where if suppose from delhi to bombay we use truck to transport and from bombay to newyork we use ship for transport and from newyork to washington dc we again use truck.
in that senario first step Delhi to Bombay = Prileminary leg
second step Bombay to Newyork = Main leg
Third step Newyork to Washington = Subsequent leg -
Problem with a process chain transport
Hi all,
I have a problem with a process chain transport, I transport it but when I see the changes in testing environment I dont see it, I did it four times but nothing happen and I dont have errors.
Can anybody tell me how to transport a process chain.
Thanks.Hi Federico,
When you tranport Process Chains, initially chains will be available under "Not Asigned" node in RSPC Transaction. The transported chains wont be get highlighted automatically. Manually need to open the chain in update mode and activate it on Quality.
Hope it will help you to resolve the problem.

Transportation of process chain
Hi,
I have transported Process chain from Development system to Quality system,but i cannot see my transported process chain in BWQ, i did't get any problems while transporting request from development to Quality, in STMS also succesfully imported.but my problem is why i cannot see my process chain in RSPC of Quality system.
Thanks&Regards
YSNHi,
You can use T-code se10, searched the request numbers by userID. Then, you can check the request with your Process Chain to see if you have included all process variant and elements for your process chain.
In my experience , if you collected elements of process chain by Transport Connection and transported, you should be able to see everything of transported chain on QAS/PRD.
Hope it helps

Transportation Planning Auto Leg Execution
G'day all
When re-planning a Shipment by clicking on the "Planning" status in the deadline tab, a pop-up window to propose the action "Execute leg determination again?" with an empty check box appears.
How can I force the check box to be ticked by default? This causes problems when the user rearranges the itinerary of deliveries and then forgets to tick the Execute leg determination again check box. Which causes our SHIPMENT05 idoc to transmit with the incorrect itinerary.
Either that or get rid of the pop-up box and when the Plannng status is ticked the system will automatically execute leg determination.
For shipment type we are using:
3. Collective shipment using one mode of transport
4. Direct Leg
Adopt all stages
1. Legs determined according to departure point & itinerary
Please advise.
Thanks and regards
LukeI would like to do the same... this must be possible without programming I would suggest... but I can't find it neither.

Need Clarification required for Shipping Type Fields in Transportation
HI
I am New to transportation module , i come to know that shipping document is controlled by shipping Type if i am wrong correct me ?
when i click the shipping Type i have seen so many fields in that few fields i didn't understand few field which i mentioned below
Service Level , Process control , Leg Indicator, adopt route , Determine Leg , Shipping Type Preliminary leg and sub.leg Shipping point
I know may be it is a basic question please don't lock the thread and also i searched in the Google
Difference between stage and leg in shipping & transportation?
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPLO/Transportation354
I tried to understand by using F1 functionality but i couldn't able to understand clearly .Can anyone guide me how it is useful in a real time scenarios and where and how it is impact
Regards,
PrasannaService Level - You can differentiate the type of shipment like Load, General Cargo, Express Cargo etc.,
Process Control - Just press F1 and read "Examples"
Leg Indicator - If the cargo goes directly from origin to destination with one shipment document, then you can assign Direct Leg. If multiple transportation is involved and in each and every stage, if you want to generate shipment document, then you have to assign Preliminary Leg, Main Leg and Subsequent leg
Adopt route - Press F1
Determine legs - Press F1 and go through Explanation of Leg Determination Procedure as it is very difficult to explain
Long time back, I have handled this and hence, not able to give examples against each. Will think of and update in case anything comes to my mind.

Liability on two transport vendors for one shipment
I am in the process of configuring transportation with two level leg determination. That is from parent plant to one destination, it would be in main leg and from that destination to final destination in subsequent leg.
The purpose of doing is that liability should be created on two transport vendors while creating shipment document. I have done almost all configuration settings related to this in IMG > Logistics Execution > Transportation and Routes. But I am unable to create second shipment document via VT01N. First of all, my doubt is, is it possible to create a shipment document without considering the parent delivery document since it has already been assigned to first shipment.
Have searched the forum but I am unable to find a solution. Need experts help.
Kaushalhi kushal,
this is to inform you that,
ok you are doing transportation chain concept and in that you are using two TCP one is main leg for one destination and second destination for subsequent leg.
here i have a doubt, you are processing one single delivery with two different vendors, please correct me if am wrong.
if you are using one single delivery for two shipments creation it is not possible, because the delivery is already assigned to frist shipment. so please create a shipment document with collective shipment but dont take individual shipment and try.
regards,
balajia
