Thank you

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the response. These step which you have mentioned i have maintained already. When i look into the TROLZ table all the feilds are populated. But what i need is whenever i create standard OR, the route and shipping type needs to be automatically determined. In my case i can manually choose the route and shipping type i maintained from the list in the shipping tab of va01. i am sure i am missing an assignment which automatically determines these. Please let me know if something crosses your mind on this regard. Thanks!

Dear Redddy

System tries to determine Route automatically for each item in the sales order, taking these following fields into consideration.Those fields are,

1. Departure zone of the Shipping point in customisation

2. Shipping condition ( system first check the sales doc type, then the customer master of SP)

3. Transportation Group ( from the material master)

4. Transportation zone (from customer master of SH)

Please check for the assignment in customising. The path is

IMG>Logistic execution>Shipping>Basic Shipping function>Route>Route determination>Maintain Route.

You can maintain Route with group or without weight group.
