automatic ROUTE determination in delivery

[Former Member]

Hello Colleagues,

I am in the process of setting up the automatic route determination for outbound delivery documents.

I read that we need to have country of departure, country of destination, shipping condition and transportation zone maintained and weight factor.

Could you please let us know where to maintian the departure country and destinatiion country in sales order/delivery document.

This infor will be very helpful for us.

Thanks & best regards,

stefan

Hi Stefan

The Departure country and the Destination Country would get picked automatically from the Shipping Point and Ship to party respectively.

For this in SPRO Define the Transportation Zones for the country.

And then configure the route determination using all the factors like

Shipping Condition, Transportaion group.

Reward points if this helps.

Thanks and Regards

and most importantly, the transportation zone is to be attached to the customer

Hi,

Route can be determined for every order item. Determining the route in the sales order depends on the following factors:

Country and departure zone of the shipping point

Shipping condition from the sales order

For example, it might have been agreed with the customer that the goods are to be delivered as soon as possible.

Transportation group from the material master record (Sales/Plant Data screen)

You can use the transportation group to group together goods with the same characteristics (for example, bulky goods or goods that must be transported in refrigerated trucks).

Country and transportation zone of the ship-to party (Control screen in the customer master record)

Country of departure is maintained in the shipping point( at spro) linked with delivering plant.

Country of destination is the country of ship to party maintained in its address.

Transportation zone is assingned in the customer master at General data > Address information.

Weight factor : is maintained in IMG > SD > Basic Funtions > Route Determination. This is to say how much of weight is allowed to be carried and also the tolerance factor.

Pl reward if it helps.

Thanks & Regards
