hi,

in Std. SAP shipping is the delivery unit, in which the goods are ready to ship to the customers. (in simple word - start of the route). another related things are

a. plant - is a place where the goods are manufacture or stored.

b. storage location- where the goods are kept, it is with in the plant.

c. shipping point can be many to the plant. but delivery will happen at one shipping point(i.e delivery can happen at one shipping point)

pl. follow this steps for customization.

1. define the shipping point - IMG= ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE= LOGISTIC EXECUTION= DEFINE SHIPPING POINT.= DEFINE SHIPPING POINT.

2. define the loading point on the same menu- b'coz it is required, for to determine from where the goods are loading , the place should determine.

3. assign it to ur plant. (under same menu but in the assignment).

4. if you want to determine the shipping point in the SAP, u follow this steps.

a. define shipping conditions- under IMG= LOGISTIC EXECUTION= SHIPPING= SHIPPING POINT AND TRANSPORATION = DEFINE SHIPPING CONDITIONS.

b.define loading groups under the same menu.

c. assign it to plant and shipping point.

ex- shipping condition + plant + Loading group+ shipping point + manual shipping point.

d. then u create the order and check, whether the shipping point is determined or not.

i hope the concept of the shipping point will clear for u by seeing those steps.

pl. reward points if it is useful.

regards

hi

Shipping points are independent organizational units that are linked to a plant and represent thepoint of departure or receipt of materials. A plant may have many shipping points. A delivery iscreated from one shipping point only.

Menu Path

The menu path here is IMG, Sales and distribution, Shipping, Basic shipping functions, Shipping point determination.

The shipping point is the central key to a delivery; no delivery can be made without one. The shipping point is determined by the system based on the shipping conditions, which are either entered manually in the sales order or are copied from the customer master record. The shipping point is also determined by the loading group, which is copied from the material master record, and the delivering plant of the line item in the sales order

Loading Groups

The loading group is used in the determination of the shipping point and is copied from the material master record.

Delivery Process

It is possible to create a delivery either individually via the menu path, individually from the sales document, or via the delivery due list.

To create an individual delivery document, one uses the menu path logistics by going to Sales and distribution, Shipping, Delivery, Create [VL01]. Enter the shipping point, the selection date, and

the sales document number, should the delivery be created with reference to a sales document.To create a delivery via the sales document, proceed from the sales document overview screen to Select-sales document, Deliver.

To create a delivery via the delivery due list, proceed from the logistics screen and go to Sales and distribution, Shipping, Delivery, Create collective processing [VL04]. You will notice when using the delivery due list that you can select for processing both sales orders as well as stock transport orders. When using the delivery due list, you can restrict your entries and thus you can

have further selection criteria that narrow down the selection of the documents for which deliveries must be processed.

Hi Sravanthigopal,

Welcome to SDN - SD Forum.

Please find some important stuff on Shipping in SD below:

SHIPPING PROCESS:

Shipping is an important part of the logistics chain in which guaranteed customer service and distribution planning support play major roles.

In shipping processing, all delivery procedure decisions can be made at the start of the process by

Taking into account general business agreements with your customer

Recording special material requests

Defining shipping conditions in the sales order

, the outbound delivery supports all shipping activities including picking, packing, transportation and goods issue. During the outbound delivery process, shipping-planning information is recorded, status of shipping activities is monitored and data accumulated during shipping processing is documented. When the outbound delivery is created, the shipping activities, such as picking or delivery scheduling, are initiated, and data that is generated during shipping processing is included in the delivery.

Range of Functions

An outbound delivery can be created as follows:

With reference to a sales order

With reference to a stock transport order

With reference to a subcontract order

With reference to a project

Without any reference

Depending on your requirements, you can create outbound deliveries automatically using worklists, or manually. You can make agreements with your customers for complete and partial deliveries and for order combinations. Outbound deliveries can be combined to form a single group of deliveries.

As soon as the material availability date or the transportation scheduling date for a schedule line is reached, the schedule line becomes due for shipping. When you create an outbound deliver, you initiate shipping activities such as picking and transportation scheduling.

A delivery is processed through one shipping point. Which shipping point carries out the processing for a delivery can be determined automatically during order processing or you can specify it manually in the order.

The system carries out the following activities when an outbound delivery is created:

Checks the order and materials to make sure the outbound delivery is possible (for example, it checks for delivery blocks or incompleteness)

Determines the delivery quantity of an item and checks the availability of the material

Calculates the weight and volume of the delivery

Calculates work expenditure

Packs the outbound delivery according to the reference order

Checks the delivery situation of the order and any partial delivery agreements

Redetermines the route

Adds information relevant for export

Checks delivery scheduling and changes deadlines (if necessary)

Assigns a picking location

Carries out batch determination (if material is to be handled in batches)

Creates an inspection lot if the material must pass a quality check

Updates sales order data and changes order status

A shipping point can be determined for each order item. How the shipping point is determined depends on three factors:

The shipping conditions from the customer master record (Shipping screen)

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

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

You could, for example, specify a loading group that defines that the goods must always be loaded with a crane or a forklift.

The delivering plant

A 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)

You can create a single outbound delivery for exactly one order, if you know the order number. Only the order items from this order that are due for shipment will be included in the delivery. You can make changes to the shipping data, if necessary.

Procedure

To create an individual outbound delivery, proceed as follows:

From shipping, choose Outbound Delivery ® Create ® Single Document ® With Reference to Sales Order.

The initial screen for creating outbound deliveries appears.

Enter the appropriate shipping point.

Specify the selection date.

You can only deliver schedule lines whose material availability date or transportation scheduling date is the same as or falls before the selection date.

The current date is proposed by the system as the selection date.

If you only want to deliver some of the order items, specify the appropriate item numbers in the From item and To item fields.

Select Enter.

Please Reward If Really helpful,

Thanks and Regards,
