Additional DSD Data: Driver Data 

Use

You can use this function to enter additional driver data in the customer master record. You can process the additional driver data required by the DSD Backend by choosing Additional DSD Data. The system then displays the extra tab page Driver.

Integration

The DSD-specific driver data is integrated in the customer master of the ERP system. When you choose Additional DSD Data you are taken to the Driver tab page in the customer master.

The system treats a driver as a customer. By making the appropriate Customizing settings, the system can clear materials and receipts/issues on the driver’s account.

Prerequisites

You need to perform the following Customizing activities so that the system can use the DSD-specific driver data:

·        Activate Direct Store Delivery
For more information, see the Implementation Considerations in Direct Store Delivery (Backend).

·        Define driver’s license categories

·        Specify allowed account groups for drivers

Features

When you select a customer number, the system checks whether the related account group is defined for drivers. The system recognizes from the allowed account group that this customer master record concerns driver master data. You can enter the following data on the Driver tab page:

·        Transportation planning points to which the driver has access

·        Driver’s driving license categories

·        Lock periods in which the driver cannot carry out a shipment.

If in the Customizing table Activate Sales Area Processes you have set the identically named indicator, the system only allows you to specify one sales area for each driver.
