How to control the shipping of goods in SAP.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Can any one tell me in detail, how can I control the shipping functionality of goods by using transportation zone, transportation lead time and other related parameters??? Is it possible to control the goods issue operation by using shipping distance, shipping time, modes of transport???

Please advice.

Thanks & regards,

Rupam.

Check following path in SPRO:

IMG - Logistic Execution - Shipping - Basic Shipping Function

under that go through

- Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination

- Scheduling

- Routes

Hi,

I have created a route schedule via transaction 'VL51'. But it is not affecting the goods issue at all.

Please suggest how to control the goods issue by using route schedule.

Thanks & regards,

Rupam.
