Delivery Scheduling and Transportation Scheduling (SAP Library

Delivery Scheduling and Transportation Scheduling

Shipping activities and transportation can be scheduled automatically in sales documents.

Picking/packing and loading, transportation scheduling and transportation can be planned and optimized on the basis of the dates determined.

There are two different types of scheduling:

Delivery scheduling

The SAP System takes into account the pick/pack time and loading time for a transaction.

You define the type of delivery scheduling for each shipping point.

Transportation scheduling

The SAP System takes into account the transit time and the transportation scheduling time for a transaction.

You define the type of transportation scheduling on the basis of the route (see sections "Route definition" and "Route determination").

You define for each sales document type whether delivery scheduling and/or transportation scheduling should be carried out.

For the dates to be determined automatically on the basis of the requested delivery for an order item, you must define both the times and what influences the determination of the date.

You need to carry out the following:

Define for each sales document type whether scheduling is to be carried out and, if so, which type.

Define the indicators for scheduling for each shipping point.

Define:

Pick/pack times

Loading times

Transit times

Transportation scheduling times
