A route can be determined for every order item. Determining the route in the sales order depends on the following factors:

Country and departure zone of the shipping point

Shipping condition from the sales order

For example, it might have been agreed with the customer that the goods are to be delivered as soon as possible.

Transportation group from the material master record (Sales/Plant Data screen)

You can use the transportation group to group together goods with the same characteristics (for example, bulky goods or goods that must be transported in refrigerated trucks).

Country and transportation zone of the ship-to party (Control screen in the customer master record)

If the ship-to party is changed in the sales order, the route is determined again for each item.

Using the delivery type, you can control in Customizing whether the transportation scheduling is to be executed once again after a route change has taken place.

Hi,

Route is determined automatically in the sales order based on:

1. Departure zone or country of the delivering plant.

2. Destination zone or country of the Ship to Party.

3. Shipping condition from the customer master.

4. Transportation group from the material master.

5. Weight Group.

Go to Customer master data.

In Address of General data. Enter the Transportation Zone id. and save

You will get the route.

The system takes into account the following 4 conditions for determining the Route u2013

a. The country and the Departure Zone of the shipping point +

b. Shipping Conditions agreed in the sales document type or with the sold to party +

c. Transportation Group assigned to the material +

d. The country & Transportation Zone of the ship to party (in CMR)

Route can be manually overwritten during a sales order processing. You can re-determine the route in the outbound delivery based on weight (weight group) provided it is allowed in the configuration of the delivery type.

Scheduling takes into account the following times u2013

a. Transit Time +

b. Loading Time +

c. Pick/Pack Time +

d. Transportation Lead/Planning Time.

The loading time and pick/pack time come from the shipping point whereas the transit time and transportation lead time come from the route.

The system performs backward scheduling first to confirm the required quantity checking the material availability on the material availability date. If the material availability date or the transportation planning date falls before the order date, the system automatically carries out forward scheduling and will propose a future date. A delivery type can be customized to carry out rescheduling if required during the delivery processing.
