What's the exact purpose of the tcode VT01N?

Hi All,
Can some body let me know what's exact purpose of VT01N transaction(create sheipment) how it differs to VL01N(outbound delivery) among this which one we have to create Ist shipment or delivery? What's the exact link between these  two sales document?
Thanks&Regards
Mahesh

Dear Mahesh,
You create a shipment document when the goods are relevant for delivery in the sales order. After you create a sales order, you create a delivery. The delivery must have a route in the transportation tab. Then you can club different deliveries in a shipment document. These are the bare minimum required for creation of a shipment document with one stage.
There are three fields in VT01N
1) Transportation planning point
A group of employees responsible for transportation activities.
Use
Each shipment is allocated to a transportation planning point for transportation planning. It helps to determine responsibility for transportation processing during which it can be used as a selection criterion, in order to create a list of shipments to be processed, for example.
Examples
Within a company, one transportation planning point can be responsible for sea shipments and one for shipments sent by road, for example. Transportation planning points can also be defined geographically.
Dependencies
Before a transportation planning point can carry out transportation planning, it must be set in Customizing.
2) Shipment type
Specifies what type of transportation processing is to be performed.
Use
The shipment type has various control features for transportation processing. These include:
•number range from which the shipment document number is assigned
•specifications such as the transportation processing type and processing control indicator
•control elements such as the output determination procedure, text determination procedure, etc.
•default values such as the shipping type, service level, leg indicator
Procedure
When you create a shipment, you must specify a shipment type.
Examples
Shipment by road:
•In the case of a stop-off shipment, the shipment legs are determined by the system using specific rules.
•An individual shipment could be a preliminary leg for a shipment by sea
Shipment by sea
•Specific output is required for processing.
Shipment by rail:
•Specific texts are required so that the rail consignment note can be filled in completely.
Dependencies
A shipment document is assigned to one particular shipment document type.
3) Selection variant for transportation planning
Defines the default values for the criteria used to select inbound or outbound deliveries for transportation planning.
Use
You can specify the selection variant on the initial transportation screen. The predefined selection criteria are then proposed on the selection screen.
You can specify a selection variant for each shipment type. This is then proposed when you create shipments of this type.
Procedure
Selection variants for selecting inbound and outbound deliveries for transportation planning must be created for report RV56LFSL.

Rakesh

  • What is the exact purpose of the TUme capsule? I thought it acted like a hard drive

    I was in the understanding that the time capsule was Wi-Fi hub and a hard drive to back up files. My primary purpose was for a Hard drive. Not using it as a network.

    TC is designed to work with Time Machine, which is the backup software in the Mac. It is not really designed as a NAS. It is sealed unit without any method to back it up other than full USB. There is no raid, so no mirror if a disk fails, and if it fails Apple will offer no help doing file recovery.
    Still if you want to use it as NAS you can. Simply set it to bridge mode.. turn off wireless. Plug it into your network. voila

  • What is the exact purpose of Transaction NACE and NAST Table?

    Hi All,
    What is the exact purpose of Transaction NACE and NAST Table?
    Pls help me…
    Akshitha.

    Hi
    When a Output type in an apllication doc is configured with a Medium, Partner, Lang and other communication paramters an entry is created in NAST table
    so to trigger the output an entry in NAST is compulsory
    Output is a link between the Driver Program and the Sapscript,
    An output type summarizes messages of the same meaning. It contains parameters that are valid for all its assigned messages, for example appropriate partner functions.
    Transmission medium is a medium which the layout will be come out, this may be printout, Fax or Mail
    Check this link.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c8/19884743b111d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
    ex-how to config output type.
    You will assign output types using Transaction NACE.
    Do the follow steps to assign output type
    1)Select Application Type V2 which will have description Shipping.
    2)Click on Output types button.
    3)Go to change mode by pressing Ctrl+F4.
    4)Select one output type which already exists
    5)Do Copy As(F6)
    6)Give your output type against Output Type field.
    7)Under General data Tab, Give Program and Form routine and Save the data.
    i think it a work of functional guy but at senior level i think it is not a big deal for abaper.
    Check the following documentation
    In NACE t-codewe have the application for each one. based on the application output type can be defined, based on output type script and print progrma can be defined.
    If suppose data can be read from EDI then we should go for condition records.
    So whenever we execute the script first composer checks the output type and then execute the program. in program whenever opn form FM will be populate then script will open first. After that again program till another FM will populate if it then script will populate........like it is cycle proces. Composer does all these things and at last it will submit that output to spool.
    Go to the Transaction NACE.
    choose the related sub module.. like billing or shipping
    doubel click on Output Types
    Choose the Output Type for which whcih you wanted your script to trigger
    Then select the Output Type and double click on Processing Routine
    Then go to create new entries--> Select the Medium (1- print output), then enter your Script and Print Program detls --> Save and come out
    Now go to the Transaction (for which you have created the output type)... Issue output--> Select the output type --> Print....
    Device Types for SAP Output Devices (Detail Information)
    Definition
    The device type indicates the type of printer to be addressed. When you define an output device, choose the name of the device type that was defined in the SAP System for your printer model, such as Post2 for a PostScript printer. In the case of frontend printing under Microsoft Windows, you can also use the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN.
    The system uses the information in the device type to convert a document from the internal SAP character representation (spool request in OTF or in text format) to a device-specific, print-ready data stream (output request). Since a device type specifies attributes that apply to all devices of a certain model, it can be shared among device definitions. For example, all devices in the SAP spool system that are compatible with Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIID printers would use the HPLJIIID device type.
    You should not confuse the device type with the printer driver. The device type is the total of all attributes of an output device that the SAP System must know to control the output device correctly, such as control commands for font selection, page size, character set selection, and so on. These attributes also include the printer driver that SAPscript/Smart Forms (the SAP form processor) should use for this printer. The SAPscript printer driver that is to be used for devices of this type for output formatting is therefore only an attribute that the device type specifies.
    How do I choose the correct device type?
    • In most cases, the SAP System already provides the appropriate device type for the printer type for the printer model that you want to use.
    These standard device types are completely defined and need no modification or extension before you use them in device definitions.
    • You can also download missing device types from the sapserv server. For a current list of the supported device types, see SAP Note 8928 in the SAP Service Marketplace.
    • Most printers can be controlled using a generic format, such as PostScript. They can be switched to a mode that is compatible with one of the standard printers for which an SAP device type is available. In this case, a supported model is emulated.
    • Almost all printers are delivered with Microsoft Windows printer drivers. The system can control these printers with the generic (device-independent) device type SWIN. The Microsoft Windows spool system then performs the processing of the print data.
    • If the specified device types are not available, and generic device types cannot be used, you must create your own device type or edit a copy of an existing device type. We recommend that only those with specialist knowledge of the SAP Spool System and printer driver code do this. For more information, see Defining a New Device Type .
    Attributes of a Device Type
    A device type is distinguished by the attributes listed below. If you change an existing device type or create a new device type, you must change at least some of these attributes.
    • Character set: A character set specifies the codes with which characters must be represented in the print-ready output stream (output request). This code replaces the generic SAP characters set that is used internally by the SAP spool system (spool request).
    • Printer driver: You can specify different printer drivers for printing SAPscript documents and ABAP lists.
    • Print controls: Print controls represent printer operations, such as boldface or changing the font size. These print control are replaced by printer-specific commands during the creation of the output request from a spool request.
    • Formats: Formats specify the format supported by the SAP system. The system differentiates between SAPScript formats (DINA4 and LETTER) and ABAP list formats (X_65_132 = 65 rows/132 columns).
    • Page format: A page format is the interface between a format and SAPscript. It specifies the paper dimensions with which SAPScript can calculate the row and column lengths.
    • Actions: Actions are output device-specific commands that are required for the implementation of a format. The action printer initialization, for example, can contain a printer command with which the number of rows on a page is defined. There is a set of actions for every format supported by a device type.

  • What is the exact purpose of At New Commanad

    What is the exact purpose of At New Commanad.
    Ex: At New VBELN
    Thanx in Advance.
    Akshitha.

    Hi Akshitha,
    Variant 1
    AT NEW f.
    Variant 2
    AT END OF f.
    Effect
    f is a field from the field group HEADER . The enclosed sequence of statements is executed if
    the field f occurs in the sort key of the extract dataset (and thus also in the field group HEADER ) and
    the field f or a superior sort criterion has a different value in the current LOOP line than in the prceding ( AT NEW ) or subsequent ( AT END OF ) record of the extract dataset.
    Example
    DATA: NAME(30),
          SALES TYPE I.
    FIELD-GROUPS: HEADER, INFOS.
    INSERT: NAME  INTO HEADER,
            SALES INTO INFOS.
    LOOP.
      AT NEW NAME.
        NEW-PAGE.
      ENDAT.
      AT END OF NAME.
        WRITE: / NAME, SUM(SALES).
      ENDAT.
    ENDLOOP.
    Notes
    If the extract dataset is not sorted before processing with LOOP , no control level structure is defined and the statements following AT NEW or AT END OF are not executed.
    Fields which stand at hex zero are ignored by the control break check with AT NEW or AT END OF . This corresponds to the behavior of the SORT statement, which always places unoccupied fields (i.e. fields which stand at hex zero) before all occupied fields when sorting extract datasets, regardless of whether the sort sequence is in ascending or descending order.

    No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
    I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
    I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

    Best Regards,

    Do you mean Exact size in dimensions(width/height) or size of the picture?
    For the size there is no max limit on the image but better to take the lightest image size in jpg, gif or png formats.
    And for the dimensions there is no limit.

  • I have files that freeze my programs whenever I try to open ANY file. Is there a way to find the exact files causing the crash?

    I have files that are freezing my programs (adobe; after effect and photoshop, as well as maxon cinema 4d). Whenever I try to import ANY file from within the program it doen't even let me select the file I need before freezing. I have moved all files off my desktop and into my dropbox, and it now allows me to import files/search for files on the desktop but NOT dropbox, once I go to dropbox it freezes again. I am assuming there are files within dropbox now that are crashing my programs. The problem is I have a lot of files in there and would like to remove the corrupt ones so that I can use my programs without freezing. Is there a way to find the exact files causing the crash?
    This has happened a couple of times and each time I have to move all my files off my desktop, so there must be a type of file doing this, I just don't know what files they are.

    This error sounds to me like you have/had BootCamp Windows installed and then removed, posible ?
    If so (and even if not so), try restating your MBA while holding down the alt/option-key until you get to the Boot Selection Screen.
    Choose to boot OSX.
    Once in OSX go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.
    Hope it helps

    No, sorry but it has not taken anything away from your headset.

    Hello,
    i'm trying to include, in my application, the Geometric Matching algorithm. Due to the fact that the application must be programmable i have coded a specific vi to do this. Back to the Geometric Matching my problem is as follow: i need to show to the user the exact boundary of the object that the GM will see (when the user set the edge treshold), so i need to overlay that boundary to my image. The principle is the same you can see in vision assistant with the selected profile highlighted by a green line. Any advice will be much appreciated!

    Found by myself. I post it here maybe could help someone. I just use the IMAQ extract Curves function and overlay the point extracted, very simple.
