Shipping Functions
Use
You use standard
shipping functions to deliver materials in delivery schedules. Schedule lines in the scheduling agreement due for shipping appear in a shipping work list from which you create a delivery, pick, pack, create shipping documents and post goods issue.
Features
In addition to these standard functions, scheduling agreement processing offers you:
You can specify that the system is to schedule deliveries only backwards from the schedule line date. No forward scheduling is carried out. This ensures that schedule lines from the previous delivery schedule can be copied unchanged to the new one.
When creating a delivery, the system proposes packing instructions from the scheduling agreement.To change a proposal, select a delivery item and choose Edit
When creating a delivery, the system takes an engineering change into account. You can change an engineering change or serial number up until goods issue is posted. Just select a delivery item and choose Item ® Status.
You can include material tags with package information that you send in EDI delivery notes. The tags in the R/3 Sytem meet Odette and AIAG standards and can be used by your customers to make the goods receipt process more efficient, for example by scanning incoming materials.
To deliver materials in delivery schedules using KANBAN, choose the Shipping tabstrip in the scheduling agreement and set delivery block 08 (KANBAN delivery). The system will not take this scheduling agreement into account when creating a delivery due list. You can then create deliveries manually with reference to the scheduling agreement when you receive a KANBAN delivery schedule.
