Shipment-Delivery-PGI

[Former Member]

Dear All,

The scenario is as follows :

After creating Sales Order one has to enter the Check In Details in VT01N.After that one creates the Delivery and DO is printed following whcih one completes the Shipment Loading Details in VT02N.After completing the Loading Details one does PGI.

The Client wants that the user should be able to create the delivery only after Check In Details have been entered and should be able to PGI after the Loading details have been entered.

How to do this???.

Hi,

The process is that a sales order should be created first. Then a delivery document needs to be created for it. You cannot deviate from this process. The reason being, once you create the delivery, only then you will know from which shipping point you are shipping it to, what is the date on which you are going to PGI, which route the delivery has to take, the packing details, the weight details, pallet details etc.

The input for Shipping document is the delivery document which is not PGIed and which has a route. So, you cannot deviate from it. Also, one shipping document can have more than one delivery. So, it is very important that you create the delivery once the sales order is created only then you can proceed to create the Shipment document based on the transportation planning point you want to create.

Now, you can do an automatic PGI once the shipment is complete. You can do this by creating a variant in program 'RV56ABST' for auto PGI and assign the variant created in SPRO > Logistics Execution > Transportation > Shipments > Define and Assign Activity Profiles for your shipment document type at shipment completion level.

This above configuration ensures that when you tick 'Shipment Completion' in VT01N or VT02N and save the document, it will PGI the deliveries (Associated with Shipment document) automatically.

Hope this helps

Dear Mukund,

Hi,

You can use an user exit to check if the transporation status is Complete. The logic should be that if the PGI is being done, then, system should first check if the transportation document exists. If yes, only then system should allow the PGI. Else, it should give a message saying a transportation document (shipment) has to be created.

You can take ABAPers help in determining the right user exit for delivery.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
