Working shifts for shipping points

Hi,
  We have been trying to define working shifts/ cutoff for shipping points. While scheduling SAP is using the user time zone to calculate the MAD time, GI time etc. I need it to use a specific time zone that I define and not the  time zone of the user processing the document. There is a field for time zone at the point where we allocate the shift definition to the calendar but it is not working. Is there anyway to achieve this ?
Thanks,
Hari.

Thanks for all the replies. I am already using work shifts and getting confirmations down to the minute. But my issue is that the GI,MAD time etc are being calculated according to the time zone of the user processing the document and not in accordance to the plant/shipping point or the time zone that I attached to the time stream . This does not make sense as we may have an intercompany order being created by the buyer who is in a different time zone and the date/time gor GI should be based on the time zone of the shipping point.

  • Implementing work time for shipping points

    Hi,
      I was trying to implement work hours for shipping points and has come across a weird issue. Once I define working shifts , the calculated PGI date is one day early,
    Example:
    Without work shifts for shipping point
    Customer requested date - 08/26/2011
    Route -2 day truck
    No pick pack /loading time
    I get a PGI date of 08/24
    Work shift of 06:00 to 14 :00 hrs defined for shipping point, everything else remains the same:
    I get a PGI date of 08/23 , 14: 00 Hrs.
    The users are not happy with this; does anyone have a clue as to why SAP behaves in this manner and what is the business reason behind this calculation ?
    Thanks,
    Hari.

    HI,
    It basically depends on the working times, shifts and factory calendar.
    If your PGI falls on a Sat or Sun then SAP would calculate the PGI date on the subsequent working day.

  • Use of "Rounding work days" in shipping point?

    Hi, Could someone please explain to me how the "rounding work days" in shipping point is used for ATP purpose (within R/3 itself)?
    Let's assume that the Delivery date is coming up as 18th Nov, 2011 08:00:00 hrs in schedule line, and the rounding work days is maintained as 0.2 days. Assume that the route has 1 day for transport, and this route time is relevant as per shipping point configuration.
    What would be the value of GI date/time that I should expect for the schedule line?
    Do I simply convert 0.2 days to hrs in 00:00:00 format, and subtract this time for delivery date to arrive at GI date, or could any other master data come into picture for GI date calculation?
    I am currently seeing GI on 17th Nov, 2011 00:00:00 hrs, and not able to understand this value of GI time.
    PS: Calendar for route is a custom calendar with working time from 00:00 to 24:00 hrs on all weekdays (monday to friday), and no working hrs are maintained at the shipping point.

    Hi,
    If the current date is 03.11.2011.
    you have maintained rounding work days 2 days. days specifyied in route is 1day.
    then if you raise an order for current date.system will propose schedule lines after 3 days it means 07.11.2011.
    Thank you,

  • Where can i maintain the working times in shipping point?

    Hi Gurus,
    Where can i maintain the working times in shipping point?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    hello, friend.
    there are at least 2 ways to do this.
    first, go to IMG > Enterprise Structure > Definition > Log Execution > Define, copy, check, delete shipping point.  choose 'define shipping point', select your shipping point and click on the 'details' button.  under 'determine times' you will find what you are looking for.
    the other way is to go IMG > Logistics Execution > Shipping > Basic Functions > Scheduling > Delivery Scheduling and Transport Scheduling > Define Scheduling by Shipping Point.  from there, it will be the same as the above.
    regards.

  • Getting message No maintenance authorization for shipping point 2001

    Getting message No maintenance authorization for shipping point 2001 when performing goods receipt for a STO with reference to delivery using BAPI BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.
    When same program is executed in program it is working fine.
    We have set the SU24 for the program name as no authorization check.
    For back ground do we neeed to set anything specific.

    Yep. The same also applies to couples of call transactions (see SAP note 358122) - although BAPI's by definition do not and may not check S_TCODE...
    The reason for this is because the checks can be turned off in SU24 against specific transactions. BUt when you schedule a program into a background job, then it does not have a transaction context. You will experience similar behaviour if you execute the program directly from SA38, SE38, etc.
    Generally, you have 3 options:
    - Some functions will expose a "NO_CHECK" or "NO_AUTHORITY" parameter which can be set when calling the function module. Some of them will only let you do it once Others will call themselves again with certain (usually customizable) parameters. You can look for this in the function module documentation, interface and coding.
    - Grant the authority to the user ID, and ensure that this is a SYSTEM type user segregated from the dialog users. It would then have this authority, but by design could not start the transaction directly (even if someone did logon as the user...).
    - If this object is not intended to be used at all for control in your concept, then you can globally deactivate some authorization objects using transaction AUTH_SWITCH_OBJECTS. The object will have no affect in the whole system when the ABAP application coding checks it in an AUTHORITY-CHECK object statement. The return code is always set to 0, and not only selectively...
    You need to be carefull with all 3 options, but they can all three be applied in a secure way.
    Cheers,

  • Working Time in Shipping Point

    Hi !!
    When we define a shipping point, there is a field <b>"working times"</b>. I just want to know whether it is defined by HR guys or SD. And what is the navigation path?
    Regards,
    Avinash Srivastava

    Hi
    This Is maintained in the Logistics execution . IMGLogistics execution-Shipping-Basic shipping functions-Delivery scheduling
    In the delivery scheduling you have activity related to working time , using 3 steps maintained here you can define the working time and then use that working time in shipping point.
    Logistics execution is configured by SD coagulants
    Hope this answers your question

  • What is transaction code for shipping point determination

    what is transaction code for shipping point determination in a plant

    Shipping point determination happens based on,
    1. Shipping condition from customer master
    2. Loading group from material master and
    3. Delivering plant.
    You can define all of them in OVL2.
    Thank you

  • Shift Time (working Hour) of Shipping Point

    We have created a new shift(working hour) and the shift is assign to tthe  shipping Point. As the requirement is that for delivery schedulling the shipping point should consider the timing of shipping point but the system instead of taking timing from the shipping point is taking the timing of the users desktop.
    Is there something can be done about it ? or I am missing out on something.?
    Please help

    Hi ,
             I think system is calculating the Loading time properly.Loading time is determinaed based on the availability of material after it has been picked/packed. As your shipping point calender has working days/hrs on every alternate day , even though the material is available on 1 st and 2 nd being a holiday, loading will happen on 3 rd. Kindly please let me know If you need any more information on this.

  • Output type for Delivery note missing for shipping point

    Hi all,
       I have a plant setup to email delivery note which uses shipping point SGUS.  Condition record is setup for this shipping point using Del Typ/Shipping Point /Plant.  This uses the communication stragery ZINT.
    The email works well for this shipping point.  However, when delivery cannot be email using shipping point CHAL.  I guess this plant has 2 shipping points (sgus and chal).
    When delivery is created, output type for email is missing.   I already created condition rec
    for LF/CHAL/plant 121.  Still not working.
    Can anyone pls provide any suggestions ASAP ?
    Thanks

    Hi MdZ,
       I looked at the analysis output.  ZD04 output is what i am after.  Don't understand the followings:
    Q1 - why the ordering in anaylsis is different than in output determination procedure. For example:
    In Analysis Output: i have:
    LDOO    -  Output not found
    MAIL     - manual output
    PLOO    - Output not found
    Z940    - Output found
    ZBOL   - Output not found
    ZD04   - OUTPUT NOT FOUND
    The Output Determination Procedure as:
    Step  Counter   CType
    10       1           LD00
    12       1           ZLFX
    13       0           LALE
    14       1           ZBOL
    20        2          MAIL
    75       1           ZD04
    90       1           PL00
    110      1          Z940
    Step 10 should be read , then step 12, and so on.  Why is the ordering in procedure different than in
    output analysis ?
    Q2. Why did it display ZD04 not found when ZD04 appear on the delivery output as green light ? When i drill down, it show 2 access sequence.  Access 10 stated Output found.  Access 20 stated Output not found.
    Thank you.

  • EDI: partner profile for shipping point or plant

    I want to issue idocs for delivery notes based on shipping point or plant, not shipto party as is usual.
    How can I go about this?
    It looks like I need to create a new partner type. Or can I use logical systems?
    If logical system is used, then how do I make the connection document->LS?
    The external system uses the RCVPRN to determine which warehouse to handle the delivery for.
    I am changing the RCVPRN in a user exit now, but this still requires creating/ changing all partner profiles for shipto parties.
    Any ideas? previous experiences?
    Thanks,
    phillip

    Hi Phillip,

  • No possible entries exist for this field for Shipping Point

    Hi gurus,
    I require the Shipping Point to be automatically determined in the Sales Order. Except this is not happening, I then attempt to manually select a Shipping Point in the line item of the Sales Order and receive the following error (in green)
    "No possible entries exist for this field"
    The Material Master has the Loading Group assigned.
    The Sales Order Type has the Shipping Condition assigned (so does the Customer)
    The Plant is assigned to the Customers (no CMIR created)
    The combination of the three are entered in the 'Shipping Points Determination" table in SPRO with a Proposed Shipping Point AND a Manual Shipping Point.
    Except I can not choose either of them as a Shipping Point in a Sales Order.
    Anyone have the knowledge to understand why I can not select a Shipping Point?
    Thanks

    Shipping Point Determination
    Shipping points are independent organizational units that are linked to a plant and represent the point of departure or receipt of materials.
    Check if shipping point is defined and assigned to plant or not by going to:
    IMG&#61664;Enterprise structure&#61664;Maintain structure&#61664;Assignment&#61664;Logistics execution&#61664;Assign shipping point to plant
    IMG&#61664;SD&#61664;Shipping&#61664;Basic shipping fncs&#61664;Shipping point determination.
    The shipping point is determined based on the shipping conditions, which are either entered manually in the sales order or are copied from the customer master record (shipping screen – 01=as soon as possible, 02=standard, 03=collective processing). The shipping point is also determined by the loading group (0001=crane, 0002=forklift, 0003=manual), which is copied from the material master record, and the delivering plant of the line item in the sales order.

  • Factory calender for Shipping Point

    Dear,
    if we change the Factory calender for Existing shipping point, Can i know what are the provlems will face??
    Thanks in adv.

    You can do this by using tcode:OVXD ( Define Shipping Point) -Initial step to create Shipping Point in Enterprise structure.
    Select your shipping Point & Click on Details button - you will find Factory Calender field.
    It will have impact on following:
    - confirmation dates of Qty(Lead time)
    - Need to check Public holidays.
    - Confirmation Date on sales document items, may get re-calculated as the shipping point may have less/more days now to do backward/forward scheduling
    - If you are on a MTO environment, the start/finish date of the manufacturing order may change, as now you may have more/less days than previously estimated
    -The MRP demand may change, now requesting certain product to be available (material Availability Date) either earlier or later
    -Your "Route" (Transit Time) may be off and if you have any "D" Incoterms that drive revenue recognition at different times after PGI, then they may be off now that the date is different.
    One suggestion. Copy your client to a temporary sand box client, then do the change there and then try to ship some orders on the date that is/was marked as a holiday, also change some sales orders (anything that will re-trigger the scheduling like quantity or delivery date) and take a look not only to the sales document, but to the manufacturing order as well as get the MRP folks to be aware of the impact on their side . Having the compare client, you will be able to see what happen in your production system vs. how it behaves on your new sandbox with the new calendar.
    Hope it can assist you.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Shipping point working timing

    Hi All,
    I have created a shift and assigned as working times for shipping point at LE-shipping-basic shipping functions-scheduling
    so in sales order item scheduling it will display the time for
    planning GI - closing hrs
    loading - closing hrs
    material availability - closing hrs.
    transportation planning - opening hrs
    But the problem is when I assign the goods receiving hours in customer master data, in sales order above timings are replaced by opening hrs of customer goods receiving hours.
    Please suggest what could be the problem.

    hi Suresh,
    there is no way for a customizing. The coding is fix. I have done a modification.
