Volume based route determination

Sir,
can we have volume based ( dimension ) route determination.rather than weight.
Plz can anybody tell me the difference between Weight & Volume in Material.M.R
with an example.
Regards.

Hi,
In standard system it is not possible.But if it is client's requirement , you need to take abapers help to write a program for route determination on the basis of volume.
Volume
Space that the material occupies per unit of volume. The volume refers
to the unit specified in the "Volume unit" field.The volume and its unit always refer to the base unit of measure.
Gross/Net Weight
Gross/Net weight expressed in the unit of weight specified by you in the
Unit of weight field.
The system can use the gross weight at a later stage, depending on what
kind of capacity check you run, to check storage bin capacity for
warehouse management purposes.
Thanks,

Route determination based on incoterm per plant

Hi Guru,
Is there a way that route determination can based on incoterm instead of shipping condition, country of departure & destination and transportation group?
For examples, for 2 different customer in US, the incoterm can be 'CIP Destination/Dock' (will delivery the invty to customer dock), where the transit time is 4 days. But for another customer, the incoterm is 'CIP Airport' ( only delivery the invty to airport, customer will pick up at the airport), so transit time is 2 days which is shorter.
Understand that shipping condition can use as a key to determine it, but due to shipping condition is maintain in customer master and it is share by different shipping point, so cannot simply manipulate the shipping condition to achieve this, as different shipping point will have different requirements.
Any suggestion and idea.
Thanks,
LH Kwong

Hi,
We do not use any access sequeue for shipping condition, we just define the shipping condition in the config and use shipping condition as part of the key to determine route.
Are you saying that, we can use access sequeue to determine shipping condition? Can you tell me how to do and is there any document that you can provide.
Thanks for your information.

Sender SMTP Adapter / Content Based Routing / Mapping of an attachement

Hi all,
I'm still working on my SMTP --> PI --> Proxy scenario (asynchronous). I've tried several different properties of my sender communication channel (type = mail), but I didn't find the correct configuration. Hopefully it exists.
I'm working with PI 7.0 SP10.
I get an inbound message via Mail using sender SOAP Adapter. The message payload itself is an attachement. Now I'd like to do the following:
a) Content Based Routing in Receiver Determination based on the message subject
b) Mapping of the Attachement XML message to my inbound proxy interface
Now, trying to do so, I didn't get it work. When I use XIPAYLOAD with keep attachements, I get two attachements in my inbound message (one in XI mail package format having the subject within, one with the IDoc structure I'd like to map). How can I assign the second attachement to be used for my message mapping?
When I use XIALL instead of XIPAYLOAD, I think the mapping will work but my subject for content based routing will be lost, right? That one I didn't get running because of another failure, so I don't know the exact behaviour of the adapter for that configuration.
Anybody out there who know the correct configuration for the sender mail adapter for my small scenario above?
BR
Holger

Hi Stefan,
sorry for misunderstanding, for sure I'm using the mail adapter, not the SOAP Adapter. I'm actually on the same direction. I'm using XIPAYLOAD as message protocoll (having the attachement as the content for the mapping --> correct). Furthermore I've also found the predefined context objects for the content based routing receiver determination.
What I missed was setting the following properties in the communication channel:
To store adapter attributes in the message header of the XI message, set the Set Adapter-Specific Message Attributes indicator.
The following attributes are added to the XI message header if the sender makes them available, and if the Variable Transport Binding indicator is set.
Now it's working

Route determination third party sales order

We are using third party sales order. The process flow is as follows.
Sales order -> Purchase requisition-> Purchase order-> Vendor ships material directly to customer.
Route is currently determinined based on the following:
1. Departure zone (from shipping point)
2. Shipping condition ( from ship to customer master)
3. Transportation Group (rom material master)
4. Destination zone (Transportation zone of the Customer in the order)
Shipping point is in US, but the vendor who ships material to customer is in China. So, we want the Departure zone for the purpose of Route tdeterimination to be based on address in vendor master, and not shipping point.
Is there anyway, we can do this?
Thanks,
Srini

Dear Srini,
Welcome to SCN forum....
I find route determination for third party sales not logical. Just think in Third-Party Orders, theres is no Material-Movement and no Deliveries from our Plant;
In this case Route Determination will not be applicable. Customer has placed order to you and you have placed an order to your vendor, who directly deliver the goods to your customer. And you dont have to decide which route customer's transporter will take?
So as per me you need not determine routes in case of third party sales order.
Thanks,
Raja

Content based Routing?

Hi Forum,
I've looked through the messages regarding content based routing or similar's but the answers did not satisfy my needs. I have an XSLT mapping from a flat file structure to an IDOC. To qualify the receiving system I have to do a database lookup in my XSLT mapping by a Java extension function with combining some of the inputfields. The result of this database lookup is the Receiver System. How can I use this result in the condition Editor for the receiver determination. I can only use here the Nodes from the inputmessage. Are there other ways to have access to a "global Container" where I can store the results from the databaselookup to use them here?
Thanks for you patience
Manfred Schmidt-Voigt

Hi,
If the outbound adapter is a j2ee adapter, you can write a module which performs the lookup in a database or what ever. Then alter the message and add the information looked up.
The easy way would be to add an extra attribute on the root node and add the content of the lookup in this field.
I whould though prefere to use add the information to my root node.
If you are not that keen on adapter development, the send the message into a bpm where you perform a lookup. This could probably be performed useing one of SP13's lookup functions. The BPM should only consist of a recieve and a send step. When sending the message you should be able to perform the routing.

Content based routing in PI 7.1?

Hi Guys,
For the normal content based routing in PI 7.1 in the receiver determination step once i select the conditin and in the condition editor to choose the filed, i dont see any interface under the xpath.
I dont have any search help option in the xpath column
any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,
Try the steps which I am giving below, although it's a workaround and don't know the exact reason why it is failing.
1. Open your Outbound Message Interface (which you are using in your Receiver Determination) in IR, edit it and change the Interface pattern (which is there just below the category "Outbound") to "Stateless (XI30 - Compatible)" , save it activate it.
2. Follow the same step for your Inbound Message Interface. Change the Interface Pattern from "Sateless" to "Stateless (XI30 - Compatible)" .
3. Go to ID. Remove your Outbound and Inbound Message Interface from their respective Business Service/Comp and add it again.
4. Create your your receiver determination again using the Outbound and Inbound MI you have changed.
5. Open condition editor of your receiver determination.You should be able to see your Message Interface and can choose the XPath.
Follow the above steps carefully. It took me an hour to find this workaround. Let me know if it works.
Thanks
Amit

Condition based Interface determination

Hi ,
Environment : PI 7.1.
Scenario : File to Proxy.
In this scenario , We have a single file interface which reads a file and routes the data to two different inbound interfaces.
Steps followed to do this -
>>Defined two inbound interfaces interface1 & interface2.
>>Both interfaces are pointed to same ECC system.
>>Read the file using a single sender file communication channel.
>>Define receiver ECC in the receiver determination.
>> Define interface determination based on a value of a field in the file structure(source structure). Used XPATH to define this content based routing and selected operation mapping specific to the interface.
1 sender agreement
1 receiver determination ( not using enhaced receiver determination because we have only one receiver)
1 interface determination which has two receiving interfaces based on XPATH condition ( maintain order runtime is checked)
2 Receiver agreements.
2 Communication channels.
For example if you have 10 lines in a file , out of which if 5 lines has a value related to interface 1 & 5 lines has a value related to interface 2. It should push the data into two different proxies as configured.
We are facing a problem in this scenario -
There is no consistency in the logic. Some times it runs interface 1 & some time it executes interface 2.
based on condition 1 it routes the data to interface 1 successfully but the structure is not getting created for interface 2 so it is giving an error stating the interface 2 structure is not available.
In SXMB_MONI the branching steps show two subnodes but if you see the log it shows that in subnode 1 the sender is sender interface & the receiver is interface 1 based on the filter condition. If you see the log for subnode 2 then it shows the sender is sender & the receiver as interface 2 below that it shows another entry which shows the reciver interface is interface2.
Please evaluate and let us know if the approach we are following works or not. If there is any limitations please let us know how to achive this.
Regards,
Reddy

Hi,
Your design is correct but here you missed one point. Here the message is send either to receiver1 or receiver2 depending on the condition but not both. As this does not result in multiple messages with the same payload because only one condition can ever be true at runtime. For more details see the below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/46/8015de950e6be3e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
If you want to create multiple message then you need do 1:n mapping :

Content based routing and XML with multiple objects

I have some structure:
<contracts>
<contract>
     <department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
     <department>1</department>
   </contract>
<contract>
     <department>2</department>
   </contract>
</contracts>
I need to route contract to 2 system based on <department> value:
contracts/department = 1 --> System1
contracts/department = 2 --> System2
Will XI split my XML (based on Content Routing rules in ID) into 2 structures (with departmet=1 and department=2 accordingly) ?
Or I have to perform 1ToN mapping? I don't like it bacause it will be diffucult to monitor hundred of messages.

Alternatively if you donot like 1:n mapping and BPM.
Create two message mappings in the IR
1.Source :<contracts>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
<department>2</department>
</contract>
</contracts>
Target:
<contracts>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
Basically mapping generates a target structure which has only department 1.
2.Same like step1 but the mapping should generate the XML with department = 2.
Once requires steps are done in the ID , do the content based routing in the reciever determination and give the appropraite message mapping in the interface determination.
That should your problem and also you will like doing it as it does not involve any split level mapping..:)

Working with Route Schedules
Use
Using a route schedule, you can control periodic customer deliveries of a particular shipping point to different ship-to parties (for example, customers or stores) in a certain sequence on a certain defined route. The planning is based on calendar weeks. The period unit is a day. Also, route schedules have a goods issue time.
The route schedule function supports the following processes:
Periodic deliveries from a shipping point to stores or customers are planned in advance on the basis of calendar weeks and weekdays, also without reference to particular deliveries.
You adapt the schedules in the specific cases to the planning. For example, you can plan a GI date for a Monday at 8 oclock, without knowing the exact date or the delivery.
On the basis of this planning, deliveries that are to leave the warehouse at the same time are combined into groups. In Shipping you can thus distribute the workload by processing these groups.
Features
You can display all deliveries for a particular route schedule on a particular day, for a particular shipping point, and so on. In this way, for example, you can choose picking lists on the basis of route schedules.
You can create route schedules for the following documents:
Sales orders
Stock transfer orders
Deliveries that are based on sales orders, store orders, stock allocations, stock transfer orders, and deliveries without reference.
The route schedule is displayed in the header data of the delivery. For each delivery within the route, the system prints the expected date and the expected time of the delivery (on the basis of the local time at the original shipping point) on the delivery note; the goods issue date is used for the goods issue posting and the stock valuation.
In Customizing, you define for each shipping point, delivery type, stock transfer order, and order type whether or not route schedules are to be used.
You create the route schedules in the master data for shipping. Here you define the route schedule determination and the validity period for the route schedule and the itinerary.
As soon as the legs have been defined, you can branch to another screen to determine the actual itinerary, as well as the time (days/hours/minutes) required to get from one unloading point to the next. In this screen there is a field beside each leg. Here you can enter the number of the itinerary for the individual legs of the route. If, for example, you enter legs A and B, but assign itinerary number 2 and 1 to these, B is the first unloading point on this route. If you press Enter, the legs are displayed in the correct sequence.
At the same time it is possible to control the route schedule determination for each delivery type, stock transfer order, and order type. It is activated in the same manner as the repeated route determination. If the route schedule determination for a delivery is active, the system automatically attempts, during creation or change of a delivery, to determine a route schedule and records this in the delivery. Simultaneously, the scheduling is adjusted. All the deadlines, for example, the transportation planning time, the picking time, the loading time, the goods issue time, and the delivery time can change.
Deliveries with the same route schedule and the same date can be selected for the same picking run and the same goods issue. The same procedure can be used for printing delivery notes and freight lists, for the grouping of deliveries into shipments, and for confirmation of picking orders.
Deliveries that leave the warehouse at the same time, but are assigned to different routes and can therefore have different route schedules, can be combined together and processed through the creation of wave picks. The only condition is that all deliveries have the same goods issue time.
Route Schedule Determination
If exactly one route schedule is defined for a particular combination of requirements, then the system will use this.
For each combination of requirements for the route schedule determination, you can define several route schedules.
In the case of a delivery without a preceding document, the system determines the route schedule with the earliest delivery time at the ship-to party.
In the case of deliveries based on preceding documents (for example, stock transfer orders), the system searches for the route schedule that is nearest to the planned date/time of the delivery. The system uses the following search algorithm:
- If a route schedule exists for the specified time, this is assigned to the delivery.
- If there is no route schedule for the time specified, the system searches for the previous route schedule up to the GI time.
- If there is no route schedule from the GI time to the planned time, the system searches for the next route schedule in the future and assigns this to the delivery.
Requirements for Route Schedules
The route schedules are determined by 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.
Special schedules and public holiday weeks are possible.
Processing a Route Schedule
Implementation Options
Wholesale trade customers and stores can receive goods at regular intervals. These delivery rhythms have an influence on the workload in the warehouse. To help delivery planning, the route schedule serves as a tool for planning regular, repetitive customer deliveries on a particular route. At the time of planning, potential deliveries that have not yet been created are grouped in the route schedule. When the deliveries are created, the system can automatically determine a route schedule and assign it to the delivery. All deliveries with the same route schedule and the same date can be processed together in the shipping point. All these deliveries leave the shipping point together at a particular time. They are distributed along the same geographical route.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10H leave the shipping on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of Philadelphia.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10M leave the shipping point on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of Boston.
· Deliveries for route schedule MO10S leave the shipping point on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of New York.
You can print picking lists for all deliveries that belong to route schedules MO10H - MO10S together.
Prerequisites
If you want to define route schedules, you must perform the following tasks:
- Activate the route determination
- Activate the delivery scheduling
- Activate the route schedule for your shipping point and make the following settings:
Transaction
Activity
Delivery
Route schedule determination for delivery type
Sales order
Route schedule determination for sales document type
Stock transfer order
Route schedule determination for delivery type
Set delivering plant and order type
Maintenance of the itinerary should be uniform for all the route schedules used. To ensure exact planning, maintain the itinerary for all the route schedules. If rough planning is sufficient in this case, you do not need to maintain the itinerary for a route schedule.
If you do not define any goods accepted times in the customer master for the unloading points of the ship-to party, the system assumes that the goods acceptance is possible at any time. The system determines the delivery time from the departure time in the route schedule plus the required traveling time to the ship-to party, as set in the itinerary (specific move time). This delivery time must be within the goods acceptance time of the unloading point of the ship-to party. If not, the respective route schedule is not determined during delivery creation.
For more information on route schedules, refer to the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Route Schedules.
Process Flow
Select the shipping point you are working for and enter the number of the route schedule.
Enter the data that defines the route schedule more exactly:
- Description of the route schedule
- Route
- Departure day (weekday)
- Departure time
You define the route schedule determination. When you create the delivery, the system can determine a route schedule on the basis of the following data:
- Shipping point
- Ship-to party
- Unloading point (if available)
- Shipping condition
- Transportation group
- (Optional) year/period
You enter this data (with the exception of the shipping point already entered in step 1).
You decide whether or not you wish to define the itinerary for this route schedule.
(Optional) You enter the itinerary and, if required, also the travelling time.
Creating a Route Schedule
Choose Logistics ® Logistics Execution ® Master data ® Transportation ® Routes ® Route schedule ® Create.
In the screen Create Route Schedule: Initial Screen, enter the shipping point and the number of the route schedule.
If you wish to use data from an existing route schedule as a reference, enter the respective shipping point and the number of that route schedule. If you also wish to copy the itinerary, check the Copy itinerary box.
Press ENTER .
The Create Route Schedule screen appears (here the system displays the number you just entered for the route schedule and the shipping point).
Enter the following data:
Description of the route schedule
The respective route
Departure day (weekday)
Departure time
In the Determine route schedule section, enter the following data:
Ship-to party
Unloading point (if available)
Shipping conditions
Transportation group
(Optional) Year/period
If you wish to define for this route schedule the itinerary according to which the individual ship-to parties are to be delivered to, choose Extras ® Itinerary.
The Create Itinerary screen appears.
Enter the itinerary and, if necessary, the travelling time.
When you determine the travelling time from one ship-to party to the next, you should include the wait time of the vehicle at the previous ship-to party.
If the same route is planned for several route schedules, define for each of these route schedules the same itinerary that should correspond to the stages and legs of the route.
Choose Goto ® Back.
You return to the Create Route Schedule screen.
In this screen, the Itinerary maintained field is now selected. If you wish to add other ship-to parties, you must also maintain the Itinerary for them.
Check your data and save your entries.

Problem in Route determination

Hi everyone,
how the route is determined automatically into a project delivery.
in CNS0 T-code we can give the ship to party and we can create delivery from the project.
here my question is whether the system takes the shipping condition from ship to party which we give here? or whether it looks for sold to party?
i my case system is not determining any route into project delivery(LP). I have done all the necessary settings. and the customer account group is ship to party.
can anybody help me out with is issue
Thanks & regards

Hi,
For the route determination to happen you must have maintained the Route based on the Origin's Transportation zone [Taken from Shipping point] , Destination Transportation zone [Taken from Ship-to-Party] for the Shipping Condition[ Taken from Sold-to-Party].
So though you have maintained the Transportation zone in Ship-to-Party the route may not be fetched in the delivery document.
So please verify if your Shipping point is having the Transportation Zone maintained.
Regards,
Karthik.

Hello,
Although jayson has answered, just to help you more, in the receiver determination in ID, you will see conditional routing, there if you click, you will see your source message structure, you can select a perticular field and set conditions and the corresponding reciever if those conditions are met.
Hope this helps.

Content based Routing Vs Message based Routing

Hi friends,
Can u plz differentiale Content based Routing and Message based Routing?

Hi,
Content based routing is when the receiver is determined based upon some value in message i.e for a field 'a' receiver is A but if its 'b' receiver is B.this is determined at runtime.
While message based is normal routing
