Configured route not getting picked in sales order

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I can see all the configurations for route determination in place, but when I create the sales order I have to input the route manually.

1. The shipping point is getting determined as configured
2. Country and transportation zone has been maintained for the shipping point.
3. Shipping condition and Transportation zone has been maintained in the customer master
4. Transportation group is maintained in the material master.
5. Route determination has been maintained

In the forum I see several questions on the same topic, but all of them talk about the above customizing which is already in place. What  else could be the reason why the route is not being picked up automatically?

Thanks and regards

Dear ES George,

If route is not getting picked up, which indicate in config some thing is missing, request you to recheck the same.

please check what you have maintained in option maintain route determination i.e. country of departure + departure zone + Destination zone + receiving zone then check in option Route determination without weight group which shipping point in the sales order item and transportation group in material master.

If your using standard system, then this is due to some data miss match at master level or configuration level.

Thanks.

Hi ES,

Routes are determined depending on the following criteria:

Country and departure zone (departure zone of the shipping point)
> Shipping conditions agreed in the sales order
> The shipping condition is defined in shipping point determination.
> Transportation group of the material
> Country and transportation zone (receiving zone) of the ship-to party

The SAP System copies the route from the sales document item into the
delivery at header level.

To define route determination, you must edit the following points:
> Define transportation zones for each country. These transportation
   zones can be either departure zones for the shipping point or
   receiving zones for the ship-to party.
> Assign the departure zones to the shipping points.
> Define transportation groups for the materials.
> Specify the routes to be selected according to the given criteria in
   sales processing.
> Define the delivery types for which route determination should be
   repeated and set the necessary indicator in the appropriate delivery
   types.
> Define the weight groups.

This problem can also be caused by a user-exit on the system.

The route detemination is called during the first call to the
FM sd_route_determination. If you are using user-exit EXIT_SAPL0VRF_001
it is called from the FM SD_ROUTE_DETERMINATION. So check this
Function Module and user-exit first.

Please also check the following SAP Notes for further information:

1363175 - Route Schedule determination with Itinerary fails
940049 - Changes to ship-to party and redetermination of the route

I hope this information helps.

Kind regards,
Catherine
