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

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.

Extracting explanations from planning app and loading into Oracle table

Hi All,
I had a requirement where I had to extract data from a planning application through ODI 11g and load it into Oracle RDBMS.
I used essbase as my source in technology (since planning data is stored on essbase side) and oracle as my target.
Now the data is getting extracted from essbase side and is getting loaded into Oracle table through ODI.
Now the client requires that they want to extract the explanations or text values also from planning application and load them into Oracle table.
How this can be achieved?Is there a table on the sql side(since sql database is being used at back end for planning app) which stores the explanations,if yes please let me know which table it is.
Kindly help me with this requirement.

Hi,
IKM SQL Control Append is perfect if you don't need incremental updates. If you need it, go for IKM Oracle Incremental Update (MERGE) or something like that.

Difference between data update in planning mode and loading mode

Hi gurus,
I am referring to intergrated planning. Planning cube can be loaded and planned.
When the cube is in planning mode, key figure gets overwritten while when its in loading mode, key figures get aggregated. Is this the behaviour?
E.g. Verion V1 is copied to V2 repetatively using copy function and self transformation. what wll be difference
Regards,
Subir.

Hi,
In planning Mode, When you enter planning data, the data is written to a data request of the real-time InfoCube. As soon as the number of records in a data request exceeds a threshold value, the request is closed and a rollup is carried out for this request in defined aggregates (asynchronously). You can still rollup and define aggregates, collapse, and so on, as before.
Depending on the database on which they are based, real-time InfoCubes differ from standard InfoCubes in the way they are indexed and partitioned. For an Oracle DBMS, this means, for example, no bitmap indexes for the fact table and no partitioning (initiated by BI) of the fact table according to the package dimension.

Transport planning and shipping condition

What is the meaning of transport planning and shipping condition,
Please explani

Shipping Conditions (VSBED):
General shipping strategy for the delivery of goods from the vendor to the customer.
You can define shipping conditions in your system which corresponds to the requirements of your company. You can specify a shipping condition in the customer master and in the vendor master.
The loading group, the plant and the shipping condition determine the shipping point that will be proposed by the system.
Apart from the country and the geographical region of the shipping point, the ship-to party and the transportation group, the shipping condition determines the route that the system proposes in the order for the delivery of the goods. In the delivery, the route proposal also takes the weight group into account.
Transportation Planning:
Transportation Planning is part of the Transportation Planning/Vehicle Scheduling (TP/VS) application and is used for medium to long-term planning. It enables the transportation planner to optimally distribute the available capacities for trucks, trains, ships, and planes. The aim of Transportation Planning is to load capacities in the most efficient way and reduce costs. Most customers currently rely entirely on external shipping companies to carry out an optimal transportation of goods, which means that punctual and cost-effective deliveries are a high priority.

BAPI to update a delivery from transportation planning stages

Hi,
I need a BAPI Relationship between transportation planning stages and deliveries
thanks
Dayana

Dear John,
Even it it is a bit late, I think I'm facing same issue.
My target is to use QM notification combined with functional location object (normally part of PM/CS modules).
I did customised my own QM notification with link to functional location.
It is working fine within SAP ERP 6.
Now I want to use BAPI to create notification : BAPI_QUALNOT_CREATE.
Unfortunatly, import parameters based on structure BAPI2078_NOTHDRI does not contain filed TPLNR for functional location.
Within the BAPi a call to function QQM_MAP_EXT_TO_INT is done.
Within this function, mapping between RIQS5 and BAPI2078_NOTHDRI is done.
Structure already RIQS5 contains filed TPLNR Functional location ; if field TPLNR is filled then the BAPI is taking care of the update.
I think I need to :
1) Add field TPLNR functional location to BAPI2078_NOTHDRI
2) Generate mapping MAP2I_BAPI2078NOTHDRI_RIQS5 using transaction BDBD
And then it should work fine.
What do you think ?

Memory-Based Snapshot Main Process for Transportation Planning getting erro

Hi All,
I have created a Plan in Transportation Planning module and asigned a facility to that plan then i did launch plan, then the program 'Launch Transportation Planning Process' running successfully but with that program Memory-Based Snapshot Main Process for Transportation Planning running and error outing.
the completion text is:
The executable file /u04/NRVIS/apps/apps_st/appl/mst/12.0.0/bin/MSTSNWRK for this concurrent program cannot be executed.
Contact your system administrator or support representative.
Verify that the execution path to the executable file
i have verified the path but there is only have '/u04/NRVIS/apps/apps_st/appl/mst/12.0.0' but no /bin/MSTSNWRK file
can anyone tell me what has to be there actually, is MSTSNWRK file missed?
thanks
vijay

Thanks for your suggestions. I finally able to resolve this issue.
- I'd relink all MSC and MSO exe files. No error found. Still not unable to launch Memory-Based Snapshot.
- I'd turned on all possible debug, trace, etc to see any possible reasons for the failure. But no help at all.
I almost created a TAR (which will need to run numerous useless checkings, talking to some clueless people, and waiting for weeks for doing nothing) and I found out I forgot to check one place - Windows Event Log. Bingo - I found the error and it's because of DLL unmatched (typical Microsoft DLL hell issue).
Using Dependent Walker to see the linking of the MSC exe file, and then I pinpointed which version of MS C++ libraries were missed. Installed the latest MS VS2005 and 2008 redistributable libraries, relinked MSC exe files again, and FINALLY it's fixed.
I need to talk to the DBA who prepare this clone to me....

Moving Planning areas and Planning books from SCM 4.0 to SCM 5.1

Hello Experts,
Can anyone have idea of how to transport planning areas and Planning book from SCM 4.0 to SCM 5.1.
Do we need any prerequisite to Transport Planning area and Planning book from Lower version (SCM 4.0) to higher version SCM 5.1.
Any suggestion could be very helpful for me.
Thanks!
Best Regards,

I have never done this, but I suspect it might be tad easier to just recreate them in 5.1 There are scores of tables that Planning Book configuration lies in. I would not rely on a transport mechanism working across versions to migrate every bit of the configuration accurately.

Hi Srinu - I don't think, there's much to look into shipping and transportation planning points. Here's a quick overview and you should be able to see it yourself in the test system:
Shipping point : A logical point in SAP in a plant, that will regulate shipping activities for a particular business opertaion. Say shipping point for Full truck customers, or Small parcel goods etc.... is Defined in Enterprise structure and assigned always to a plant. A plant can have many shipping points based on the needs of the business operations of the plant. A shipping points is determined in a sales order in the following way:
Combination of Shipping condition (as derived from sales document or customer master) + Loading group (assigned to the material master) + Plant (as derived from customer info rec or Customer master or material master). You do the assignment of shipping point to these combinations at SPRO->Logistics Execution->Shipping->Basic Shipping functions->Shipping point and goods receiving determination.
Transportation planning point : Is a logical definition, which in business terms relates to the team of transportation folks who are responsible for transportation activities in a plant. However, Trans Pl. Point is not assigned to a plant, but assignment is done to a plant in a way such that the external transportation processing determines which TPP to use for a particular plant, but only for external processing. A tansportation planning group is burdened to create shipments and manage other transp. activies. They will use this transportation planning point always to create and manage transportation documents.
Transportation planning point is assigned to a company code when you do shipment cost set up to report transportation charges etc.
Thanks

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.
Transportation Create Single document Logistics Logistic Execution  TransportationPlanning

After creation of shipment cost doc. You settle the Shipment cost.
Go to VI02, enter shipment cost no.and press enter.
Then go to Overview -- Fright cost items, Select the line item and double click it.
Go as main menu: Item --> Acc. assignment, you enter G/L acc. and cost center to which the transportation cost will be posted.
On the Standard change, details Freight cost items screen, then check the check box Transfer, which means you will transfer the relative transportation cost to FI/CO, in this case, the system should determined which Purchase Order will used to settle the cost, so after you check the Transfer check box.
Press save button on the current screen.
Shipment cost settlement and documents:
Use

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

How do you determine transportation planning point

Hi Gurus,
Badly need your help. How do you determine transportation planning point?
Thanks,
Paul

Dear John
It is based on routes and route schedules are determined based on the following conditions:-
=> Shipping point
     Where are the goods coming from?
=> Ship-to party and unloading point
     Where are the goods going to?
=> Shipping condition
     How are the goods being shipped?
=> Transportation group
     Which goods are shipped?
     --> For example, which type of goods?
=> Calendar week / year
      When are the goods to be shipped?
If you do not explicitly enter the week and the year, the entry applies for each calendar week. If you enter a week and a year, the route schedule only applies for this week.
You can only use route schedules if you have maintained the working times and therefore at least one of the following times in minutes:
       -> Transportation planning time
       -> Pick/pack time
       -> Loading time
       -> Transit time
A route schedule can leave the warehouse exactly once in a week. If a route schedule runs several times, either on several days or several times a day, it must be copied to another route schedule.
Thanks

Shipping Point VS transportation planning point

Hello Gurus,
Could you please the answer the following questions?
What is the different between shipping point and transportation planning point?
Where is the transportation planning point assigned to?
Why exactly we require the shipping documents in the business perspective?
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan P.

Hi Pavan,
The transportation planning point consists of a group of employees responsible for organizing transportation activities. Each shipment is assigned to a specific transportation planning point for transportation planning and shipment completion. You must define the various transportation planning points used in your organization in Customizing for Corporate Structure before they can be used to perform transportation functions. You can define this organizational unit according to your companys needs, for example, according to geographical location or mode of transport.
The transportation planning point is assigned to a company code, but is otherwise independent of other organizational units.
The shipping point can be proposed automatically during order processing depending on the plant, loading group and shipping condition.
A shipping point has an address.
The shipping point is used as a selection criterion for lists of deliveries and the work list deliveries.
The shipping point is used as a selection criterion for processing deliveries like printing, picking or goods issue.

Finding transportation planning point in the document

hi all,
i want to create the shipment order for a delivery for which i need to know the *Transportation planning point and shipment type.
i have the delivery document.
i want to know the transportation planning point from it.
where can i look for it.
thanks
Harini

Hi there,
You will just find transportation planning date in delivery. Transportation planning point will be in shipment doc in VT03.
In VT03, give the shipment num --> click on doc flow or top left hand corner icon shipments & deliveries. It will show the the num of deliveries in the hsipment of it is a collective shipment. If it is an individual shipment it will show the single delivery num.
In the shipmnet doc you will find the transportation planning point.

Where do i get this value ??
I have checked the Sales order and the Delivery Doc as well but could not find it.
Thanks for your answers in advance.
Thanks and Regadrs,
Umesh Karane.

Hi Vamshi,
Thanks for you answer.
I have checked in IMG , the Company Code assignment to the Transportation planning point, and also
checked the Transport revelance for the Delivery Type used .
Both assignments exists correctly as required.
Also in my Delivery doc ,in the Overiew Screen : Transport TAB, I see the "Transportation Planning Point Status " as BLANK.
So when I am creating a Shipment in VT01N w.r.t to the Delivery created,
(entering the Delievry no the w.r.t to Outbound Delivery field in the Select Outbound Deliveries Criteria Screen), I do not get this Delivery ,hence could not include it in the Shipment.
Can anybody help me to add this Delievry in a Shipment ?.
Thanks in Advance for your answers.
