Hi

Shipping point is determined at item level. The reason being..it is determined based on the combination of Shipping conditionsloading groupplant. Out of the three the shipping conditions and loading group are dependent on the material master data which ia item data and may differ from item to item. Shipping point is one of the reason for delivery split also. If different items in the order has different shipping points, then the delivery will be split based on the shipping points.

Both Shipping point & Plant are determined for each Item in the Sales order automatically by the system.

For determining Plant, system first search the CMIR,

if not found the Plant there or CMIR is maintained then system searches Customer master of the SH, i

f here also not found then system sarches the Material master.

This is called Priority rule which is hard coded in SAP and can be changed by customisation.

For determining Shipping point, system takes three fields into consideration, they are

1. Shipping condition (first check Sales doc type , if not found then takes from Customer master of SP)

2. Loading group ( material master> sales org group 2)

3. Delivering Plant

So, they are (Shipping point & Plant ) item specific data in sales order.
