Well you just cant say only these many points can be defined...

It all depends on the Business as how they want to configure your Transportation Module and how exaclty they ship the product to the customer based on that only you can map the process onto SAP.

Transportation is maintained as per the shipping point, from where you load and ship the goods

Hope this helps

Cheers

Dear Shabnum

The transportation planning point is an organizational unit in Logistics, responsible for planning and processing transportation activities.

It organizes the responsibilities in a company, e.g. according to shipment type, mode of transport or regional departments.

Loading Point is nothing but Shipping points which are independent organizational entities within which processing and monitoring of the deliveries as well as goods issue is carried out. A delivery is processed by one shipping point only.

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

<b>=></b> 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.

<b>=></b> 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.

<b>=></b> The delivering plant

This plant is determined per order item either from the customer master record or from the material master record. However, you can also enter it manually for each order item.
