Work Flow & Procedure For Transportation Module Of SD

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Currently, we have just got SD implemented. Now, we shall like to go for the Transportaion Module i.e. Order Booking, delivery and the PGI followed by Auto Invoicing. Now, we wants to go for Transportation Module i.e. Shipment Creation, Shipment cost calculation , Service Order Creation etc. As we are quite new to this. So, we shall like to know the complete work flow & the procedure for implementing the same. i.e. in what sequence the various transactions to be used for Master / Transaction.

Please advise further.

With Best Regards,

Sanjeev Chugh

Before posting, had you searched the forum on Transportation to gather some inputs, as from your thread, I feel, you have not searched. It is very difficult to explain the entire SD configuration which you are expecting from us.

Please search the forum for transportation configuration, take the inputs from there, try on your own and wherever you stuck up, you can post the same so that we will be happy to help you.

thanks

Thanks for the reply. Definitely, i can share the details to the best of my knowledge about the transportation module.

This module is basically meant for controlling purpose. Our main objective is to control the Transportaion Charges. Vendor Invoice must be cross verified from the sytem as well.

Our Current Business Process : As per business process, we are having fixed rates per transporter for the type of vehicle and the source - destination combination. So, whenever, we are stock transferring the material from our mfg. plants to various depots, we are using various transporters (some one are specialised for south, some are spl. for east, so on and so forth). On the receipt of the material, receiver i.e. the destination branch , confirms the material receipt.. MIGO / MIRO etc. . We wants to capture the cost of the shipment as per the system and then on the receipt of the bill from transporter, the same must be cross verified.

On going thru various documents from Web, I could gather the following details :

1. After making deliveries, we have to make a shipment document. In our case, max. time it shall be an individual Shipment i.e. Tcode VT01N. Other type of shipment be Collective Shipment, which we use very less no. of times.

2. We have to prepare Shipment Cost document by using Tcode VI01

3. We have to create a service Purchase Order By using ME21N.

In our business scenario, we shall not be using legs concept as our shipments generally used to be from point to point basis.

Sir, logically, i know our needs.. But getting stuck at a couple of points ... Like where to define various rates per transporter..That's why, i named the subject as the Work Flow & Procedure for Tpt.Module.

I shall like to request you to kindly advise further in this regard or kindly let me know if some study material is available from where i can comes to know about the exact work flow of the Transportation Module As Such.

From Where I Can Get Help on Any Tcode Usage i.e How to use a Tcode and what be its basic functionality.

1) Go to T_06, create a condition type for shipment cost and maintain the calculation type as "B". Have an access sequence assigned to this condition type on right top. Also mainain "A" for Calculation base.

2) Next in T_07, select that access sequence and maintain a table which suits your requirement. If the existing does not suits your requirement, you can develop on your own with the help of ABAPer

3) Next in T_08, you create a pricing procedure with the required condition types for shipment cost

4) Finally, maintain the fixed value of freight in TK11 for that condition type

5) Now try to create a shipment cost and update the forum

thanks

Thanks for your valuable inputs. I started proceeding like this....

I have created Two Stock Transfer Orders from one source location to a single destination. There after, I created single delivery for both of the orders. I got ONE delivery number. But I am Unable to create the shipment document.

For creating Shipment, I chose the Tcode : VT01N and gave input as Transport Planning Point as u201C0001u201D and Shipment Type as u201C Individual Shipment u2013 Roadu201D. But I am unable to add the newly created delivery to the said shipment. On Checking, I found that the delivery type ZNL is NOT Transportation Relevant (In SPRO). Then I ticked the same. But then I updated the same in SPRO and again tried for the same. Still, it is showing u201CNumber Of Deliveries Found : 0u201D. What can be the other reasonsu2026due to which system is not considering this outbound delivery. What other parameters needs to be checked for the said error.

Kindly Advise Further.

Try like this.

Once you execute VT01N, dont key in data like Forwarding Agent, Shipment route etc., instead, click on "Deliveries" and remove the values flowing under the tab "Delivery status". Now try to assign the delivery.

Still if you face any issue, from top menu bar, click on "Edit > Selection Log" and update the forum what message system is showing.

thanks

Thanks...

I am trying that way only. In the whole screen, i have not given any input. I have just keyed in the Delivery Number under the heading "With Ref.To". nothing else. Instead, now, i have tried both the ways.

1. Removed values from Total Goods Movement Status as well as Transaction Planning Status and Just gave input in the filed " Delievery number".

2. Second time tried by taking the standard i.e. Value In column "Total Goods Movement Status" as (A) , Transaction Planning status value in range (A) To (B) and the delivery number.

but in both the case, same message comes i.e. Number Of deliveries Found : Zero.

On checking the log, there are 18 selection criterias, but all are Green and only one value is being shown in one column viz. Outbound Delivery. (Can i attach a file in this message...Screen Shot..?)

What other can be the reason...? What else should be tried...? KIndly Confirm.

Kindly Confirm / Update.

Hi,

Make sure that -

1. Route exists in Delivery

2. Route is relevant for Transportation

3. Delivery Type and Delivery Item cat. are relevant for transportation

Points 2 and 3 can be done by following the path - SPRO->Logistics Execution->Transportation->Shipments->Maintain Transportation relevance

Let us know if this solves.

Thanks

Total Goods Movement Status" as (A)

Try by maintaining "C" in this field and other columns as blank.

thanks

I have tried by choosing the value "C" in Total Goods Movement Status and Deleivery no. as the only inputs (Rest of the fields as blank). But still, same message i.e. No. Of Deliveries Found : 0". Now, trying to find out whether delivery has the route defined or not.. Shall update the forum tomorrow on this.

Thanks for your kind support.

Dear Sir,

As advised, i have checked the Route for the delivery and found the same as blank. I think this can be a reason for non-selection of the delivery for the shipment creation. I shall like to request you to kindly confirm that How can i assign a route to a delivery...? Please confirm.

Delivery Type and dleivery item category are tpt. relevant.

Thanks & Best Regards,

[Lakshmipathi]

the Route for the delivery and found the same as blank

If the DA has already been PGId, then, you need to reverse that PGI, maintain the route in VL02N, redo PGI and proceed further.

Hi,

First pls. do as Mr. Lakshmipathi suggests - this will help in checking if there are any other errors.

Then you can do the following settings later.

Pls. search the internet on Route Definition and Route Determination. There are a lot of information. For example -

For Defining Route -

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/8f/0949417787491de10000000a155106/content.htm

For Automatic Determination -

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm40/helpdata/en/dd/5607da545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/content.htm

http://www.sap-img.com/sap-sd/route-determination-in-sales-order.htm

Also make sure that Delivery type and Item Category are Transportation relevant (as mentioned in my last post). Then try the transaction with the suggestion provided by Mr. Lakshmipathi.

Thanks
