Hi! I am new to DSD and have been getting most of the information from SAP Help. I want to clarify the process relating to the check in and check out of subsequent loads. This may be best illustrated by an example below:
1. A sales order is created for a customer for 10 units of material ABC.
2. Delivery document and shipment document are created for this sales order.
3. Driver picks up the material from the warehouse.
4. A check out of 10 units is confirmed in SAP.
5. After delivery is completed, the driver confirms the check in unit. 9 is delivered and 1 is 'returned' but sitting on the driver's truck (by selecting the remain on truck indicator).
6. Carry out settlement. In this case, the system creates a driver credit sales order of 1 unit and a return loading note (sales order) of 1 unit.
Questions:
1. Is it true that the return loading note of 1 unit created is for information only and has no impact to next day's processing? In that case, what is the use of creating this return loading note?
2. Even though we have indicated that the 1 unit returned is to remain on the truck, it seems that with the driver credit sales order, we are still returning the unit back to the warehouse/plant.
3. Relating to 2, if on the next day the driver needs to service another customer and requires 5 units of material ABC, do we create a sales order for 5 or a sales order for 4 (noting that there is already one sitting on the truck - this also means that we should not process the return on the driver credit sales order?).
4. Do we then check out 5 units or 4 units?
What is the standard SAP solution to handling the leftover check-in units as stipulated in this scenario?
Appreciate any advise on the above.
Cheers!
SF
