Hi,

In shipment type customization - we will define - Shipping type (like truck, ship) and also Legs and stage related to route will be defined.

Based on Shipment types we create shipping documents

Hi

In transportation the shipments are based on Shipment type ,transportation planning point, Shipping Point and route .

So from delivery you will get shipping point ,identify transportaion planning point from shipping point, and use route.

In simple terms it is based on departure Zone & Destination zone-

Departure Zone will be determined from Shipping Point( which will be assigned to plant)

Destination Zone will be determined from Customer master data.

Then through Shipping condition/Shipping type/transportation plan point- Route will determined which inturn further decides the Shipment.

Hope it helps

hi,

what do you mean by 'method of shipment'? Are you talking about mode of transport, shipping type... ?

Generally route definition details you can find in table TVRO. But better go from SPRO->Logistics Execution->Transportation->Basic Functions->Routes->Define Routes
