Hi, I know system will give 1st priority to VOV8 and then goes to CMR.. But the question is how system will take this SC in OR? as this in std,this field is blank.

Hello,

In standard Order Typres the Shipping Conditions field is left blank in VOV8 & Shipping Conditions is picked from Customer Master.

Only in some special case, say Cash Sales or Returns Order, where your client may require seperate Shipping Point for all the Returns Order, you will enter Shipping Condition in VOV8. Thus if you check standard Order type of Cash Sales, shipping conditions are entered there.

Thanks,

For which business requirements do we maintain Shipping conditions in Sales document types?
(and not in Customer master record)

If for a process "the shipping strategy" is constant irrespective of the customers, in those cases shipping condition is given in Sales document type.

Consider the process of Rush Order (RO) - All orders which are rush orders irrespective of the customer, have the below properties -

- The orders MUST BE delivered in the same day as the order is created

- The shipping point is a dedicated one; the goods which are assigned this shipping point shall be transported via PLANE / AIR

- The routes for rush orders are different than normal orders

- PRICING - An extra surcharge of 10% is put on rush orders based on the field "Shipping condition"

etc. etc.

Sri,

Understanding the concept of Shipping conditions is important to answer the above question.

Please read SAP F1 help for field Shipping condition (KNVV-VSBED):

Especially the example (underlined):

Shipping Conditions
General shipping strategy for the delivery of goods from the vendor to the customer.
Use
You can define shipping conditions in your system which correspond to the requirements of your company. You can specify a shipping condition in the customer master and in the vendor master.
Shipping point determination (outbound delivery):
The loading group, the plant and the shipping condition determine the shipping point that will be proposed by the system.
Route determination (outbound delivery):
Apart from the country and the geographical region of the shipping point, the ship-to party and the transportation group, the shipping condition determines the route that the system proposes in the order for the delivery of the goods. In the delivery, the route proposal also takes the weight group into account.
Example
A particular customer always requires immediate delivery. You enter the appropriate shipping condition into the customer master record. This means that when you process orders for this customer, the system automatically proposes the express mail room as a shipping point and the quickest way to the airport as a route.
Procedure
If a shipping condition has been assigned to a sales document type in Customizing, this condition will be proposed by the system in the corresponding sales document. If there is no assignment, the system copies the relevant data from the corresponding customer master record of the sold-to party. You cannot change this value during delivery processing. The shipping condition will not be copied from the delivery into the shipment. The shipping condition is one of several criteria for selecting deliveries when you create a shipment. You can enter a shipping condition manually in the shipment where it only serves as a characteristic for grouping shipments.

"PRICING - An extra surcharge of 10% is put on rush orders based on the field "Shipping condition"

Hi,

How the system will take this SC in OR?

I think,this is  Totaly done in Background (From table level Piciking ) if you have maintained "Shipping Condition" in VOV8.If you maintain this Filed as Blank,the system will go next level.

Please search Google ,you can get N-Number threads on the "Basis of Shipping Conditions in SAP".

If you have any doubts please let me know.

Thanks,
