Copying Carrier (forwarding agent) from Shipment to assigned deliveries

[Former Member]

I see lot of documentation concerning copy routines to get delivery data onto shipments but do not see any for shipment data copied to assigned deliveries. Does this type of functionality exist ??

In our company we do not know the carrier at the time of delivery creation, we create the shipment (assign deliveries) at the time we request pick up by our customer who in turn tells us who the carrier is. We have the need to have the carrier partner on the deliveries and would like to try to copy from the shipment to the delivery. Has anyone done this ? If so how ?

thanks

Good day,

Sorry to tell you but there is no such functionality in standard. You could perhaps use BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE - BAPI in custom Z program, use shipment number/route as mandatory fields to trigger the updates but it's not possible through standard.
