Hello SAP gurus,

Below is my concern:

Requirement is I need to schedule a daily shipment job on SAP utilizing Tcode VT01N and we have the Variant name. I have to process daily shipments (for one shipment only) to invoice required. And the job should be scheduled to run daily at a particular time.

I am very new to this thing can some please tell step by step how to proceed.

Thanks for all your help in advance.

Hi Shayan,

These are the steps:

1.- Go to SM36 transaction.

2.- Put the job name.

3.- Select the "Start condition" button. The system will open a new screen.

4.- Select the option needed (Immediate, date/time, etc.). If you select "Immediate", click on save button.

If you select "Date/time", define the date and the time that you want to run your job. Then, click on the "Period values" button and select the option needed (i.e. hourly, daily, etc.) and save.

5.- Save the "Start time".

6.- Click on the "Step" button. The system will open a new screen.

7.- In the "Name" field, put the program of the VT01N transaction: SAPMV56A

8.- In the "Variant" name, put your variant name that you created before.

9.- Save the "Steps".

10.- Once you go back to the initial screen, save the job.

11.- Check your job scheduled in SM37 transaction.

Hope this help.

Kind regards.

Hello Sridhar

I have created a variant in VT04 but in SM36 when I entered program RV56TRGN then the variant is not showing here.

In VT04 screen when I checked in selection variant I am getting my variant but if I clicked on get variant I am not getting anything.
