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

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.

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 Service

Hi 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.

I have done the setup for Individual shipment for Truck type. Now the requirement is i need to carry out the configurations to map the transportation using Tuck , Ship and rail . The sequence is as below the customer belongs to US and the shipping point is 1000 (DE) so i need to ship the goods till the German port through " Truck". There after it will go through "Ship" to US. Now again in US From port to nearest Railway station it is transported through "Rail" and then from railway station it is delivered to customer through the "Truck" .

Hard constraint for shipment planning related to transportation lane

While building shipments manually in SCM 5.0 system, soft constraints are displayed when transportation lane do not exist from supplying location to destination location. Is there any way to make them hard constraints in scm 5.0 system?
Thanks,
Nikhil

Hi Nikhil,
I do not find any way to achieve this. In manual shipment planning, the system will just issue warning messages. However the optimizer always will respect all such constraints.
Any specific reason why you want to plan the shipments manually ? Normally manual planning is used to apply corrections to the shipments planned by the optimizer.
However if you still want this functionality, you can raise the message to SAP to seek their feedback on this.
Thanks & Regards

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 Mirashi

1) 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.

Container HU as Method of Transport - Inbound Shipment @

We are currently using SAP Core Transportation Management to monitor our inbound shipments from overseas. The scenario we have is:
One shipment can have many containers to a bill of lading and is represented using HUM with no problems.
What we like to do is - create an additional shipment (transportation chain) with one of the several handling units from the first shipment.
However, we are unable to do so because we get the HUDIALOG 155 when we try to use the same container on a subsequent shipment.
Ultimately, we want to show the container - moving from one shipment to another shipment.
I believe the issue - has to deal with the HU status.
Advice to solve this would be appreciated.....
Steve

Hi Deepak
We are getting exactly the same error. We have also created OSS message for the same.
It would really help if you can post the solution.

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 you

I 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.

Transport of BPS planning area (variables) without transp. all pl. levels

Hi!
Can anybody advice me, how to transport new variables which I have created to a planning area, without transporting all planning levels which belong to it?
I transported a few planning levels that include the new variables I created to the planning area. As a result, the planning levels are transported but the new variables are missing. I don´t want to transport the whole planning area, since it contains a development which is not ready yet. Can I transport the missing variables with SE15 (how?) or is there some other way to do it?
Grateful for any help,
Sari

Sari,
Please execute program UPC_TRANSPORT_BPS_ALL and transport your variables without transporting any level or area.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Srini

Transport of Test Plan / Test Packages

Dear all,
We intend to transport a test plan with all test packages from the development Solution Manager to the productive Solution Manager because in the productive Solution Manager no configuration is allowed.
We are using the Solution Manager functionality to execute manual testing in the following way:
On SOLAR02 the project 'FOUNDATION' is stored. The project 'FOUNDATION' has been migrated from a outstanding sandbox Solution Manager system to all three Solution Manager Systems: DEV, TEST and PROD. Test scripts have been uploaded on the 'test cases' tab of the respective business process branch.
In the development Solution Manager SMD a test plan has been generated using the uploaded test scripts mentioned above.
On the quality assurance Solution Manager the same project 'FOUNDATION' is stored and the same test scripts are uploaded on the same branches.
When the test plan is transported (using the recommended STWB_2 transport functionality) from the development SM to the quality assurance SM there are two issues.
1. The transported test plan cannot be edited / regenerated anymore. An error message "The specified structure does not exist" is displayed. Message number is SOLAR056.
2. The transported packages can be assigned to users but no notes can be added to the test cases. The error message is: "Unable to find template". Message number is SOFFICEINTEGRATION231.
It seems that the transported test plan cannot retrieve the underlying project structure, even it is identical to the project structure of the development SM.
This problem is urgent to us, as the test phase is starting next week.
Thank you very much for your support.
Best Regards,
Marc Reinhardt

Hello Marc,
We have experienced similar problems. A transport of the test plan and copies of the test plans have resulted in us loosing status values and test notes.
I was informed it had to do with the fact the information is stored in the GUI. How I don't know, I am not a technical person.
I was wondering if you may have encountered the similar problems I have had above and found ways around it.
You can reach me at [email protected] as well.

The loading date, transportation date and planned date on the STO are the same as Delivery dates.

Hi,
We have created a Intra plant STO (plant to plant in the same company code). The planned delivery date is 4 days. So if I create a STO today (27th march), the delivery date is 31st march (excl Saturday and Sunday).
During delivery creation, the loading date, transportation date and planned date are also coming as 31st march. The route determination for the given shipping point and route shows 2 days for transit and 4 hours for pick pack. There is no loading time maintained for the given combination.
Can you please advice why are the dates coming the same as delivery date during delivery creation without considering the duration maintained in route determination ?
Thanks!!!
Anuja

Hi,
This is a standard behavior of SAP in case of Stock Transfer PO.
If you want that the delivery date of receiving plant be transferred to supplying plant, please use BADI MD_STOCK_TRANSFER.
Hope this helps.

Prashant

Transport of Std.Planning area

Hi
1) I would like to transport planning area '4CFVS01' from client 000 (BPS). Please let me know is it possible to transport only the above planning area with all its subordinate objects?
When I checked the Import of planning application, I think if we select the planning application e.g marketing and campaign planning it will transport all the planning area under this.
Where as I need only the 4CFVS01 (Validation sheet planning area) to be transported.
2) Also please let me know planning area u20194CFVS01u2019 (Validation sheet) & u20184TPM2000u2019 (Trade promotion) come under which planning application head?
-     Marketing & Campaign Planning
-     Sales Planning
-     Quotation planning
-     Service planning
-     Resource planning
-     Profit planning
I guess it should be marketing and campaign planning? Please let me know. Thanks for your help.
Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Marc,
Thanks for your response.
I have created a customized planning area with Business content (real time Infocube) in BPS side. Now when I do a transport of Std Planning area and its subordinates (i.e 4CFVS01 - planning area) in that case will it throw any error?
Since already the std infocube is mapped to a customzied planning area. Should I need to delete the customized planning area before doing a copy of the std planning area?
Thanks,
Vijay
