Hi,

Let's take a simple example and try to understand.

Say Company "A" is purchasing goods from you. In that case For you, Sold to Party is company "A".

Let's say company "A" is asking you to ship goods to its branch in USA (Called company "B"). In that case company "B" becomes a Ship to Party of company "A"

Same manner company "A" can ask you to ship goods to it's different places/ branches. (Say company "C" and "D") Those also become different Ship to Parties of company "A"

Now in the customer master data (In transaction XD01) you have a option of specifying all ship to parties relevant to a Sold to Party.

So what you can do is, go to XD02, select your sold to party, (Which is company "A) and go to its partner functions tab.

Maintain "B", "C", "D" as different ship to parties for "A" under partner functions "SH"

same manner you can do it for bill to party and payer as well.

Now if you go to sales order creation (VA01) and put company "A" as sold to party and press Enter key, you'll get a pop up asking you to select relevant ship to party for this sales order out of (B, C, D). That will be for the sales order header level.

Same manner you can select your ship to party as sales order line item as well. (Can keep different ship to parties for each line item)

Since delivery is for a sales order line item, relevant ship to party will get copied from the line item.

Hope this is clear to you now!

Best regards,

Anupa

Hello Mahesh,

Take a simple example of ABC group i.e. ABC enterprise which is established in the location such as Bangalore, Chennai, Pune and Mumbai with the head Quater as bangalore.

Now consider a simple example where the ABC BLR enterprise orders for 100 number of computer and asks the vendor to deliver those set of computer to deliver at chennai location. The recommended solution from SAP in this line is you can define a SOLD-TO-PARTY account (ABC BLR) with account group "001". For this Sold-to-party, you can set the Chennai, Pune as Ship-To-Party partner function where the goods would be delivered by Vendor.

Here you make assignment of all possible ship-to-party in Sales Area tab (Partner function) of the Customer Master record for this sold-to-party .

Hope this example clears your thought on this subject matter !!

Regards,

Sarthak
