STO route determination when material is shipped directly to a subcontractor

[Former Member]

I have an issue with automatic route determination in a STO. The purchase order is for a material shipping from PLANT1 to PLANT2. However, the material is physically shipping to a subcontractor loacted in a different destination zone than the receiving plant. this is done by inputting the VENDOR and clicking SC VEND checkbox on the DELIVERY ADDRESS tab. The issue is that route determination is using the destination zone of the ship-to party for PLANT2 rather than the destination zone of the subcontract vendor. Is there a way to influenece this so route determination uses the destination zone of the subcontrator rather then the destination zone of the receiving plant so the correct route is proposed?

I realize that standard route determination takes the following four factors into considerations

1.Shipping conditions from the customer master

2.Departure zone  of the shipping plant

3. destination zone of the ship to party

4. Transportation group  from the material master

Hello Patrick,

We have a similar requirement to re-determine the route on an STO based on the end-customer on the delivery address tab.

Could you please share any information on this topic if you were able to get any further on this?.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
