Route Determination without material master

Former Member

Hello Network Members

I have searched the network for route determination but havent found the route determination without material masters.

We have a requirement where in we need to track the return items which do not have MM(Material Masters).

Currently for the Outbound Delivery (without route) we create them without reference and as a text item, so that we just enter the material description and pick the quantity and PGI.

When Post Goods Issue is done there is no stock update as this controlled outside of SAP but the goods movement status is made complete.

This Delivery is used for tracking purpose.

We would like to extend this to transportation by copying this delivery into the outbound shipment.

As I do not have the route determination (because there is no shipping condition and transportation group).

Unless the user enters the route manually there is no way to have this delivery into my shipment.

Any thoughts or ideas on how to get the route automatic without the user intervention?

thanks

SK

Hi,

How many routes do you have?

Which is the criteria to assign routes to the deliveries?

How many deliveries do you usually have by shipment?

Does a shipment contain a single route or several according to the deliveries included in the same?

Hi JM

We have around 100 routes and usually we have 5 to 6 Deliveries in one shipment.

The criteria to assign the route is by the zones and weight. Usually the shipment will contain single route .

Is there a enhancement where we can have these text items to be copied into the shipment without the user intervention to enter the route?

thanks

There might be two options that you can try to see if it works for you:-

Option 1) Create material with material type NLAG (non-stock material) which can be used in delivery to determine route

Option 2) In Shipment Type customizing, there's an indicator "Adopt route". Try set it to "Do not adopt stages" and then try if you can add delivery without route to your shipment document.

Hi,

 

You can use a user exit to determine the route based in your requirements.  Create a project in CMOD, for enhancement OVRF000. In function module EXIT_SAPL0VRF_001, INCLUDE ZXV00U01 you can write your coding where you’ll update E_ROUTE with your route.

Hi SK,

If you want automatic route determination without maintaining the requisite standard configuration then you will have to use code enhancement/user-exit where you can maintain the custom logic which the User follows while manually doing it.

Hi Shashi

Did you guys implement this? If so what was the Enhancement used?

thanks

Hi SK,

If you have a custom logic based on zones and weight then you can add the Route into the Delivery either during creation of Delivery (using copy control VOFM routine) or if there are chances of variation in weight due to partial picking then the coding can be done to update Delivery during Delivery saving. The exit where Route determination can be added during delivery save is MV50AFZ1 in Perform USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_LIKP or USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE.
