Scheduling

[former_member1257031]

Hi ,

I am having some confusions with scheduling and without scheduling . I have a scenario where in SO the routes are getting auto genarated depending on shipping pts etc factors . Now for some of the routes I see scheduling has been configured in VL51 and for some shipping point no scheduling is done .

I want to know , what is the difference if a route is with scheduling and a route with no scheduling and whats it effect .

Thanks

Hi,

As per my knowledge routes are used for scheduling.

The help file says for routes as follows

"Define Routes

In the following IMG activities, you define your routes. The route determines the itinerary and the means of transport in shipping, and influences transportation scheduling. For example, if the route includes rail transport, transportation scheduling may have to include the time required to reserve freight carriages.

Using routes, you can combine sales order items according to shipping criteria.

The system determines routes automatically for a sales order item and can repeat the procedure for a delivery (see section Route determination)."

This should help you in understanding of routes creation or its usage.

Thanks and Regards,
