Hi Ashis,

Shipment document is one of the basic element in the Transportation planning.

Before going to detail you should know what is Transportation planning.

Transportation planning involves all the activities that must be performed before the shipment leaves the shipping point. These activities include:

1.Acquiring the services of a forwarding agent

2.Organizing the means of transport

3.Specifying the route for the shipment

4.Defining the stages for covering this route in the most efficient way.

Prerequisites for Transportation planning

Before to carry out transportation planning For outbound

shipments, the following requirements must be met:

-->Define and assign Transportation Planning Point.

-->Maintain Transportation relevance for Delivery types.

-->Maintain Transportation relevance for Delivery item types.

-->Specify a route in the deliveries.

-->Maintain Transportation relevance for Routes

-->Make sure the ShpmtBlReason (shipment blocking reason) field is blank. We can find this field in the delivery header on the transportation screen.

-->Once these requirements have been met, the system automatically sets the transportation planning status to A (Not yet planned) in the Trns.plan.status field in the delivery header.

-->You can create shipment document through the transaction VT01N.

Shipment no means after creattion of shipment document in the transaction VT01N system will give the no based on number range assignment in the IMG(like delivery no or sales order no)

-->Shipment document will be created for the delivery,after done the picking activity in the delivery ,before PGI
