Bill of lading

Hi Gurus

Where can we find information about bill of ladding in SD and why we use it? Lets say I want to use it for delivering the goods.

Thanks in advance.

A <b>Bill of lading[BOL]</b> is a document issued by a carrier, e.g. a ship's master or by a company's shipping department, acknowledging that specified goods have been received on board as cargo for conveyance to a named place for delivery to the consignee who is usually identified. The term derives from the noun "bill", a schedule of costs for services supplied or to be supplied, and from the verb "to lade" which means to load a cargo onto a ship or other form of transport.

<b>The BOL can be found in the Output determination for the Transportation [Transaction V/82]</b>

<b>Example:</b>

1. Output determination starts in V7 with output type CMR1 and the assigned access sequence.

2. The access sequence defines the fields with which the key for the condition table is read.

(for example, condition table B017: shipment type of the shipment is read)

3. If the condition record is found, the system proposes an output with the output attributes found in the table.

4. The output proposal (possibly not yet processed) is stored after the document is posted as an output status record in the NAST table.

The SAP standard output for the bill of lading in the shipment (FORI or SPAT are good basis to start), not in delivery since the shipment can group more than 1 delivery.

Hi

Bill of Lading is used like say a Tracking number that you get from the carriers.

Once a shipment is picked up by the carrier they normally give a tracking number and this is updated in the delivery note.
