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

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.

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,

Pick Pack time in shipping point.

Hi Gurus,
I would like to have a clear understanding on the Pick Pack time / Loading time in Shipping point Configuration.
1. I have configured shipping point with factory calendar assigned to it.
2. I have given the pick pack time in the shipping point config.
Now the question is, i'm able to give fraction values also here , say 2.5 days for pick pack time,.
what does this mean? how do i infer.
Please provide clarity.
I do not want details on how the dates are determined in Sale order w.r.t to this details, instead more clarity on how days will be taken if fractional values are given in days and not in hours.
Regards,
Basha.

System will consider decimal based on factory calender and work times fields
If work times are defined, lead times can be set in hours/minutes and applied to the work times.
The following priorities are used for scheduling:
Factory calendar and work times maintained
The lead times are used in hours / minutes work time. Here, both the work days defined in the calendar as well as the work times on the individual weekdays (Monday through Sunday) are taken into consideration.
Additionally maintained lead times in calendar days are possibly not taken into consideration if the lead times are not maintained in hours/minutes. The work time would then be zero from the schedulung view.
Factory calendar maintained
The work times in calendar days are used and the workdays defined in the calendar are included. From the scheduling view, each day has 24 hours (in contrast to the lead time in hours/minutes where the work times are taken into consideration).
Additionally maintained lead times in hours/minutes are possibly not taken into consideration if the lead times in calendar days are not maintained. The work time would then be zero from the scheduling view.
No factory calendar maintained
As above, the system calculates only using calendar days, and work-free days, such as weekends or public holidays, are not taken into consideration

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.

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.

Loading Date\Time per Shipping Point

Hello all
we need to fill SO with certain values: on item level "Loading Date" field (there should be value of next day after SO creation) and "Loading Time" ("_00:00_" value). These two fileds should be filled only for certain shipping points.
Is it possible?

Hi,
It is not that easy.
The time mentioned in the Delivery or Transportation scheduling mentions the lead time and not the date . The dates are decided by delivery scheduling namely backward or forward scheduling. In your case, if you want to control this in masterdata, you have to maintain the procurement type of material as either inhouse production or outward procurement. In either case, you have maintain the production or procurement lead time as just one day. In this case, the next day becomes the material availability date (MAD). The same date will also be updated as Loading date. Based on the loading leadtime maintained in the shipping point, the further dates will be decided.
So the production or procurement lead time will decide when ur MAD will be and based on that ur loading date will be updated. Maintain ur masters accordingly in material and ur reqmt will be fulfilled.
Hope this helps

Shipping point working times

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.
Suresh

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

How to find the shipping point creation Date and time

Hi All,
Could you please help to solve this issue.
Some of the users created shipping point, Now I have to find out in which date and time the shipping points were created, is there any table to find. please help me.
Regards,
Muralikrishna

hi Murali,
first define and assign shipping point in enterprise sructure in define shipping point EC07 and assign in OVXC
goto OVL2 and assign the shipping points
The following are used for the shipping point determination:
1. Shipping conditions - Proposed from CMR. The entry in VOV8 for the sales document type if there overwrites the entry in the shipping conditions mainatined in the CMR.
2. Loading group - Proposed from the material master record.
3. Plant - proposed from CMIR - if not found then CMR - if not found then MMR.
But you should first define and assign the shipping point in the "enterprise structure" otherwise you will not be able to do the shipping point determination.
IMG - logistics execution - shipping - basic shipping functions - shipping point & goods receiving point determination - assign shipping points.
Shipping point definition:
IMG - enterprise structure - definition - logistics execution - define, copy, delete, check shipping point. You have to define the shipping point here for the particular plant.
Shipping point assignment:
IMG - enterprise structure - assignment - logistics execution - assign shipping point to plant. Here select your plant and assign the shipping point to the same.
hope this helps,
cheers,
Hema.

Any enhancement to increase pick time, do not want new shipping point

Have 1 customer that requires a longer picking time, prefer not to create a new shipping point for a one off case.
Would perfer to write an enhancement so the material availability date is 5 days before goods issue date (5 days pick time) instead of our normal 1 day. A new ship point would work great with 5 days pick time but big change for users.
Thanks,

Hi Glenn,
SAP System considers the picking time maintained on the shipping point(OVXD) while giving the Material availability date. Picking date is same as material availability date by defualt. Then it will take picking time as 1day( If you have maintained picking time as 1 day on shipping point) and gives the loading date. you ask your abaper to hard code the material availability date (overwrite the praposed date by 4 days for particular customer) in "userexit_move_fields_vbep".Kindly please let me know If you need any more help.

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

Generally process is-
1) VL01N
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

Shipping point - Lead time

Based on shipping point and route can we set the lead time for pick/pack time and load time.
In our case we have shipping point 1000. For this shipping point - 1000 based on the ship to party destination zone 5 routes can be determine.
Letu2019s say R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5
I need to maintain 2 days additional lead time for pick/pack time and load time only fot the route R1. If I maintained the lead time for pick/pack and load time as 2 days under shipping point 1000 this lead time will be applicable to all the 5 routes.
In my case this lead time 2 days will be taken into account for only when the route R1 determined for the shipping point 1000.
PS: This R1 is determined based on the shipping conditions maintained for the customers in customer master.
Please suggest how to achieve this functionality.
Thanks

Thanks for the response.
The reason why I canu2019t maintain the extra lead time for R1 is for this route customer is arranging the carrier on his own. Since company is not arranging the carrier we cannot maintain the transit time at route level.
The idea behind the whole process is for some customers carrier is taking care by themselves. Customer raises sales order through EDI there only requested delivery date is being maintained by the customer. Based on the req. delivery date material available date and load time will be determined (for this process we had not maintained any lead time for mat. Availability and load time) so system is taking the delivery date as the mat availability date and load time. The confusion lies here. If the req delivery date given by the customer is 05/20/2009 mat avil date and load time is also the same 05/20/2009. But the customer wants the goods in his warehouse on 05/20/2009 so our customer service reps are manually back date the req delivery date in the order to 05/17/2009 ( the difference 3 days consider the customer to arrange the carrier and the goods to be available on his choice). As we back date in the order from 05/20/2009 to 05/17/2009 so the material ava date and loading time would also be 05/17/2009. By doing this planning can be done and makesure material will reach customer on 05/20/2009/
Pls let me know if you have any questions
Thanks.
