Shipment is an essential element in the logistics chain. It affects both incoming and outgoing goods. Effective shipment planning and processing ensure that shipments are dispatched without delay and arrive on schedule. Transportation costs play an essential role in the calculation of the price of a product. It is important to keep these transportation costs to a minimum so that the price of a product remains competitive. Efficient transportation planning and processing helps to keep these costs down.

Integration

As illustrated in the following graphic, you can use the SAP transportation functions to plan and process:

Incoming shipments in Materials Management based on purchase orders and shipping notifications

Outbound shipments in Sales and Distribution based on sales orders and deliveries

Transportation planning and processing is based on the shipment document. This document facilitates the flow of information from the shipper to the customer and to any service agents who are involved in the business transaction.

Features

The transportation component includes basic transportation processing functions:

Transportation planning and shipment completion

Shipment costs calculation

Shipment costs settlement

Shipment costs calculation for individual customers

Billing of customer freight

Service agent selection

Management of means of transport and utilities

Follow-up and supervision of shipments

Management of shipment costs

These transportation functions can handle planning and processing for both inbound and outbound shipments. You can control and monitor the entire transportation process from the planning stage to goods issue at your shipping point (for outbound shipments) or vendor location (for inbound shipments), through to goods receipt at the customer location or your plant.

Other available functions include: shipment costs calculation and settlement with the service agent, transfer to accounting, credit memo creation and invoice verification.

This documentation describes procedures in outbound shipment processing. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the information here also applies to inbound shipment processing. Differences between the two will be pointed out where necessary.

For information on creating and processing inbound deliveries, see the Confirmations section of the R/3 Library documentation for Purchasing (MM-PUR).

Direct Shipping:

Direct Delivery from Vendor to Recipient

The merchandise is ordered from a vendor and delivered direct to the recipients. In this case, the merchandise does not go through the distribution center. The only follow-on documents generated are vendor purchase orders.

Indirect Shipping:

Delivery from Vendor to Distribution Center and then to Recipient

Two movements of merchandise are involved:

Delivery from vendor to distribution center

The merchandise is ordered from a vendor and delivered to one or more distribution centers. Vendor purchase orders are generated as follow-on documents for this.

Delivery from vendor directly to recipient

Once the vendor has delivered the goods to the distribution center, they are then sent to the recipients. Warehouse orders, sales orders or deliveries are generated as follow-on documents for this.
