Hi Aswin,

Shipping point is a point from where actually the goods are delivered to customer or Goods receiving point. Shipping point is a central key in delivery. You cann't create a delivery without a shipping point. Each delivery is initiated exactely from one shipping point only.

Dear Ashwin,

Shipping points 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.

In a sales order if for the line items if multiple shipping points are there then that many deliveries are created. So a delivery split occurs whenver there is a different shipping point.

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

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.

hope it helps. and pl reward useful contributions before marking them as answered. It encourages.
