Multiple Plants sharing 1 shippinh point

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have a requirement that multple plants of different company codes needs to Share 1 shipping point( same address)

Actually these 3 plant have 3 PL ware house, so these will have only 1 shipping point.

What would be the implicaitons if they share 1 shipping point because of different company codes.

OR

Do we need to change the description of the shipping point and put the same address and configure 3 different shipping points with the same address?

Thanks

Unless you are using transportation with shipping cost functionality, having plants of different company codes using the same shipping point shouldnt be a problem. Make sure the shipping point determination configuration is correct and that you assign the multiple plants to the same shipping point in enterprise structure configuration.

Thanks Aroop,

We are not using Tranportation, well evrything will be done by 3 PL.( warehou/shipping)

So in this case having 1 shipping point wouldnt be a problem? right?

Thanks

For 3PL cases, it wont be a problem. But consider this: for reporting purposes, having different shipping points could help, since plant is at the line item level and the sales org would probably be the same.
