Hi,

ROUTE DETERMINATION

Route can be determined in sales order with the help of 5 parameters: depart country, shipping conditions in customer master record, transportation group in material master, destination country, and weight group.

Weight group plays a vital role. The purpose of route determination is like in scenario's where company will ship goods to the customer in various ways not only that it has optional of having n number of routes select the best one & based on his customer priority (time & money.) for sending samples company will go for air, for delivering ordered goods it can go for different mode of transportation & routes.

Route Determination:

Departure country zone (Shipping Point) +destination country zone (Ship to Party) +shipping condition (CMR or Sales Doc Header – Partners + Transportation Group (Material Master) +Weight Group (Optional) = Route. (0VRF)

Plant determination in the sales order: System will search first for Customer material Info Record, if it is not maintained there it will check for customer master record, if it is not maintained here also system will search for material master record...

Configuration part:

SPRO > Routes Basic shipping functions  Shipping -LE -

Define Routes:

Define mode of transportation

Define shipping types.

Assign shipping types to mode of transportation.

Define Routes and Stages

Maintain Stages For All Routes

Route Determination:

Define Transportation Zones

Maintain Country And Transportation Zone For Shipping Point

Define Transportation Groups

Define Weight Groups

Maintain Route Determination in the combination of

a) Departure country/Departure Zone - maintained in shipping point configuration

b) Shipping condition from the sales order

c) Transportation planning group maintained in General/Plant view of material master.

d) Destination country/Transportation zone maintained in General view -Address of Customer master of Ship to Party.

Stages and Legs in Route and Shipment:

Stages contain information on the geographical characteristics of a

shipment.

The system differentiates between the following stage types:

Leg: Connection between a starting point and an end point; the starting and end points can be a transportation connection point, a shipping point, an unloading point at the customer's or vendor's site, and so on.

Load transfer point: Location/point where a shipment is loaded/unloaded or transferred from one means of transport to another.

Border crossing point: Location/point where a shipment crosses the border.

Legs

Preliminary leg:

A subsequent main leg shipment exists or is required for this shipment.

Subsequent leg:

A preceding main leg shipment exists or is required for this shipment.

Main leg:

One or more preliminary and subsequent shipment legs are required for this shipment.

Direct leg:

No other shipments are linked to this shipment.

Return leg:

Means of transport is returning to its base.

Dependencies

The leg indicator at leg level is influenced by the leg indicator in

the header and automatic leg determination:

Please Reward If Really Helpful,

Thanks and Regards,

The route determines the means of transport and the legs involved. It influences transportation scheduling. For example, the system can determine from the route that goods are to be sent by rail to Boston. Therefore, during transportation scheduling, it takes into account how far in advance loading space in the freight car must be reserved.

<i><b>Criteria for Route Proposal in the Sales Order</b></i>

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

1.Country and departure zone of the shipping point

2.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.

3.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).

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