Transportation
Transportation processing is a central element
in the Logistics chain. The functionality allows you to control and monitor
the entire shipment.
Transportation processing can be used both for
goods receipt and goods issue so that all goods movements can be represented
in the system. Incoming shipments are made on the goods receipt side following
the goods purchase order and shipping notification; outgoing shipments are
made on the sales side following the sales order and delivery creation.
Requirements
for carrying out transportation processing:
1. For outgoing
shipments, the following requirements must be met for transportation
processing:
- The delivery type must be flagged as relevant
for transportation in Customizing.
- The underlying deliveries must contain a
route.
- The routes of the deliveries must be flagged
as relevant for transportation in Customizing.
- The transportation blocking reason in the
delivery header must be blank.
If the above
requirements are met, the transportation planning status in the delivery is
set to 'A'.
2. In the case
of incoming shipments, the following requirement must be met for
transportation processing:
- The delivery type must be flagged as relevant
for transportation in Customizing.
