hi

Shipping points are independent organizational entities within which processing and monitoring of the deliveries as well as goods issue is carried out. A delivery is processed by one shipping point only

A shipping point can be determined for each order item.

How the shipping point is determined depends on three factors:

The shipping conditions from the customer master record (Shipping screen)For example, it might have been agreed with the customer that the goods are to be delivered as soon as possible.

The loading group from the material master record (Sales/Plant Data screen)You could, for example, specify a loading group that defines that the goods must always be loaded with a crane or a forklift.

The delivering plant: This plant is determined per order item either from the customer master record or from the material master record. However, you can also enter it manually for each order item. For more information on determining the delivering plant, refer to the section

Hello,

The shipping point is the organizational unit in the SAP R/3 system responsible for shipping processing.To be able to give the customer a delivery date for a material ordered, the system must take into account all of the necessary prelimary leg time for the different processes in shipping and transportation processing

Shipping point determination is the combination of shipping condition, (From customer master record)

loading group, (From material master record) plant.
